Botox and Xeomin
Ready to look a little more rested and refreshed? Botox and Xeomin are two of the most widely used treatments available for softening fine lines and facial tension. The results are subtle, and often exactly what patients say that they wish they’d done sooner.
Schedule a ConsultationWhat Are Botox and Xeomin?
Both are purified forms of botulinum toxin type A, used in aesthetic and therapeutic medicine, to temporarily relax targeted muscles. By interrupting the signal between nerve and muscle, they reduce the repeated contractions responsible for dynamic wrinkles — the lines that form around the eyes, across the forehead, and between the eyebrows, after years of expression.
Xeomin differs from Botox in one notable way. It contains no accessory proteins, making it a highly purified formulation that some patients and providers prefer. Both options are FDA-approved, safe when properly administered, and the choice between them is made during a clinical consultation based on your individual goals and medical history.
Common treatment areas include frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet, neck bands, and masseter reduction for jawline slimming. Therapeutic applications — such as treatment for excessive sweating or jaw clenching related to TMJ — are also available.
Botox and Xeomin: Understanding the Difference
The distinction between the two comes down to formulation. Botox has the longest track record in the field and remains the most extensively studied neuromodulator available. Xeomin, as a protein-free formulation, may be preferred for patients who have developed resistance to other neuromodulators or those who simply want a cleaner preparation.
Both products are selected based on clinical judgment and patient goals. Neither is inherently superior — what matters is that the right product is being used, by the right provider, in the right amount.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Neuromodulator treatments are well suited to patients looking for non-surgical improvement in subtle facial refinement or preventative treatment. They are also a great option to help patients who are dealing with jaw tension, teeth grinding, or hyperhidrosis. Your doctor will go over all of the specific requirements with you, and evaluate your medical condition and history, during your initial consultation.

SCHEDULE A CONSULTATIONCommon Questions About Botox and Xeomin
Yes, when administered by our medically trained surgeons. Both products have well-established safety profiles and have been used in aesthetic and medical settings for decades.
Initial softening typically becomes visible within three to seven days following treatment. Full effect is generally apparent around two weeks, post-injection. Results typically last three to four months, though individual response varies. Your provider will discuss realistic expectations during your consultation.
That determination is made through a personalized consultation that considers your aesthetic goals, medical history, and clinical assessment of the areas you’d like to address. There is no one-size-fits-all answer, which is exactly why the consultation comes first.
