All three are effective treatments that originate from the same source bacterium, clostridium botulinum. All three treatments originate from same source bacterium, clostridium botulinum, and synthesized as botulinum toxin type A, the paralyzing agent or neurotoxin that is administered. The result is almost always the same: each injectable temporarily paralyzes the targeted muscle areas on the face to relax and ease out the appearance of wrinkles. Due to their proven abilities, each is often paired with dermal fillers, like Juvederm or Radiesse, for substantial facial rejuvenation.
Experts have noticed Dysport spreads more than Botox and patients that are not responding anymore to Botox tend to use it. Since Dysoprt has a different strength, it affects slightly larger areas than Botox and Xeomin. Botox and Dysport contain an accessory protein to carry the botulinum toxin (egg or lactose), since the body has the ability to build up antibodies over time, the results diminish after continuous usage.
Xeomin is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, this reduces the risk of an allergic reaction and natural resistance. Xeomin is the most similar to Botox when measuring units to units, whereas Dysport requires more units at a lower cost per unit. Both Botox and Xeomin require up to two weeks for full treatment and in most cases Dysport has a much quicker onset for those patients wanting faster results. It has been reported that Dysport typically takes two to three days until the effects of the treatment are seen; Botox takes seven to ten days, while Xeomin takes five to six days. Duration of results can last 3 to 6 months, time varies patient to patient.
