XEOMIN® is a neurotoxin produced by the company Merz. It is made up of incobotulinumtoxinA and is a unique formula that removes unnecessary proteins. The medication is diluted and injected strategically into muscles to help relax them and smooth wrinkles.
What is the difference in Xeomin and Botox?
While both Xeomin and Botox are used for similar reasons, the results are slightly different. Botox uses extra proteins while Xeomin is purified to isolate the therapeutic component of the protein molecule. Xeomin does not need to be refrigerated while Botox does. Xeomin usually acts a little more quickly than Botox. Results with Xeomin can be seen in as little as one day while Botox usually takes 3-5 days before it takes effect. Maximum results are seen at 30 days with both products. Results with both are very similar and can last up to 4 months. However, every person is different. Some can continue having results for longer while others will need injections sooner than 4 months. In general, maintaining your appointments will allow your skin to be smoothed without interruption.
What should you choose?
This is a discussion you will need to have with your injector. If you have shown signs of developing a tolerance to Botox or have an upcoming event needing faster results, you might want to try Xeomin.
Who should not use Xeomin?
As with any neurotoxin, those with diseases that afferct your muscles such as ALS, myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome should not have neurotoxin injections. If you have ever had side-effects from any botulinum toxin in the past, please let your injector know. Bleeding disorders, emphysema, severe asthma, aspiration, drooping eyelids, pregnancy, or breastfeeding are all considered contraindications to using neurotoxin.
