Xeomin versus Botox and Dysport
Botox, Dysport and Xeomin have a lot in common, but they also have some important differences. Unlike its predecessors, Xeomin does not need to be refrigerated. This may be an advantage when it comes to distribution. What's more, Xeomin is "naked." There are no additives — just botulinum toxin type A. This may lessen a patient's likelihood of developing antibodies to Xeomin. When your body senses a foreign invader, it responds by creating antibodies and launching an attack. If this were to occur with a neurotoxin such as botulinum toxin type A, it may not have its desired effects.
Xeomin is said to be more like Botox than Dysport. It takes about one week for the full effects of Xeomin injections to be realized, and once this occurs the results last from three to six months. Dysport, Xeomin and Botox should not be used interchangeably. They should also only be administered by skilled injectors such as board-certified facial plastic surgeons in sterile environments such as medi-spas or doctors’ offices. Xeomin should not be injected in beauty salons, malls or at Xeomin parties in the home.
If you are interested in Xeomin injections, consult with a facial plastic surgeon to explore your candidacy. Be sure to choose a qualified surgeon with extensive experience providing various types of injectables. It can often be difficult to sort through all the hype to find a surgeon you can trust.

Marina Plastic Surgery is now offering FDA approved Xeomin, an additive-free Botox® alternative that makes faces smoother, wrinkle free and more aesthetically pleasing, with the added benefit that patients will not become resistant to it as they sometimes do with Botox.
Grant Stevens, M.D., founder of Marina Plastic Surgery(http://www.marinaplasticsurgery.com), Marina del Rey, CA, says, “This is a great addition to our facial rejuvenation arsenal because over time some people become resistant to Botox and its loses effectiveness due to its additives. While Botox is a great product, Xeomin costs much less, and according to the studies may last longer, a bonus for the right patient.” He added that Xeomin, like Botox, also is a proven treatment for crow’s feet, smoker’s lines, neck bands and hyperhidrosis or excessive perspiration under the arms, on the feet and hands or elsewhere.
"For people with well-defined wrinkles or creases who want a 'nonsurgical face lift,' we offer a wide range of injectable fillers like Xeomin," said Dr. Stevens. "The fillers available today are light-years beyond collagen and other fillers from several decades ago. Treatment is easier, the results can be better tailored, and the span between follow-up treatments is extended. While the science has not yet evolved enough to make surgical facelifts obsolete, our patients can achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance in just one short office visit. Xeomin is a great addition."
"A nonsurgical procedure like Xeomin isn't going to be right for everyone," adds Dr. Stevens. "In some cases, only a surgical procedure will be able to provide the degree of tightening and lifting that a patient will need in order to achieve the results they really want. But even in these cases, it's increasingly common to combine a plastic surgery procedure with injectables for that added
