Botox®, Dysport® and Xeomin® are all neuromodulators used to remove fine lines on the face. Dynamic facial wrinkles are the result of contractions of the tiny underlying facial muscles that occur when someone smiles, frowns or laughs. These neuromodulators are now a very popular way to help turn back time on facial wrinkles. The most common areas to receive them are those along the forehead, the crows feet around eyes, and the vertical lines in-between the eyebrows. They work by blocking the facial nerve impulses to facial muscles, thus relaxing the muscles. When the underlying facial muscles are relaxed, the skin flattens out, creating a smoother appearance.
Dysport® is similar to BOTOX®, which also contains Botulinum toxin type A, but has a slightly different formula. Most patients see visible changes from Dysport® in about a week and results last three to four months.
XEOMIN® is formulated with a molecule, similar to BOTOX®, that blocks the release of the chemicals that cause muscle contractions. XEOMIN® is also free of additives, making it unique and less-likely to cause an adverse reaction in patients.
