Hi Annie,
The first time i tried Botox I did my research on cosmetic derms which I think is extremely important since every place now a days from dentist offices to medi-spas to hole in the wall spas are offering Botox (or claim to be using Botox, yet under cover findings show that many spas actually get knock offs from china for a fraction of the cost). I've had friends go to dentists to get their Botox, yet I don't feel comfortable with a dentist who's expertise lies in teeth trying to pretend that they know the art of facial artistry and injections (do not want that desperate housewives look).
The cosmetic derm that did my Botox was very knowledgable and since it was my first time, was extremely conservative yet still left me with a deer caught in headlights look. I decided to go to the cosmetic dermatologist who founded Botox in the 80's because I want the best person for the job when it comes to my face. I was surprised when they told me about Xeomin since I never heard of it before, but tried it and love it. It's the same cost per unit but has a more natural look and feel. The derm was extremely conservative as well since I'm still young and don't require that much. The difference is that Xeomin lacks an extra protein than Botox and this from my understanding is more pure for your body than Botox. |

From Realself:
Xeomin - Great For Patients
+2
Xeomin is finally approved here in the United States and offers several major advantages.
Xeomin does not have any additives, i.e. is a naked botulinium toxin, it has less risk of antibody formation. This has the theoretic advantage of patients less likely to develop resistance to Xeomin.
Xeomin does not have to be refrigerated
Xeomin works essentially the same as Botox. Same duration, amount of time, dosing, etc. This familiarity makes it a much easier product for physicians and patients to adopt to.
Xeomin will drive the overall price of botox down.
Has been used in Germany for more than 3 years but product is very similar to Botox. |
