If you’re considering anti-wrinkle injections, you’ve likely heard of Botox and Xeomin—two of the most popular neurotoxin treatments available. While both are FDA-approved and effective at reducing dynamic wrinkles (like frown lines and crow’s feet), they have key differences that may influence your choice.
At VIM Wellness FNP in Nyack, NY, we help patients choose the best treatment for their aesthetic goals. Below, we break down the differences between Botox and Xeomin.
What Are Botox and Xeomin?
Both Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) and Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) are injectable neurotoxins that temporarily relax facial muscles to smooth wrinkles. However, their formulations and properties differ.
Key Differences:
| Feature | Botox | Xeomin |
|---|---|---|
| Formulation | Contains accessory proteins | “Naked” neurotoxin (no additives) |
| Onset of Results | 3-7 days | 3-7 days |
| Duration | 3-4 months | 3-4 months |
| Best For | First-time users, moderate wrinkles | Those with resistance to Botox, sensitive skin |
| FDA-Approved Uses | Wrinkles, chronic migraines, excessive sweating | Wrinkles, muscle spasms |
Which One is Right for You?
Choose Botox If:
✔ You want a well-known, extensively studied treatment.
✔ You need relief from migraines or excessive sweating (Botox has additional medical uses).
Choose Xeomin If:
✔ You’ve developed resistance to Botox (Xeomin’s “pure” formula may work better).
✔ You prefer a product with no additives (lower risk of antibody formation).
Both treatments are safe and effective when administered by a skilled injector. At VIM Wellness FNP, we customize treatments based on your facial anatomy and goals.
