What is BOTOX® Cosmetic?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is the most recognized minimally invasive aesthetic treatment in the world. Approved for use in 98 countries, BOTOX® has become the #1 selling treatment of its kind. The difference for many is subtle yet impactful. BOTOX® Cosmetic is the only FDA approved treatment for moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, forehead lines and crow’s feet lines in adults.What Is the difference between BOTOX, XEOMIN, DYSPORT and JEUVEAU?
Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau all contain the same active ingredient: botulinum toxin type A.
In 2002, the FDA approved the use of BOTOX Cosmetic to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate-to-severe frown lines. It ushered in a new era for medical aesthetics. The second neurotoxin that was approved for the same purpose was Dysport, in 2009, followed by Xeomin, in 2011, and Jeuveau in 2019. Studies have shown that all 4 brands work on reducing wrinkles.
Speed of Onset: Patients can feel the effects of Dysport as soon as 1 -2 days, while BOTOX and Jeuveau starts working in 2-3 days. Xeomin starts working in 1-3 days, but has a more gradual onset. Patients feel the effects of Xeomin come on more gently. All 4 brands reach their maximal effects in 2-3 weeks. Generally, neurotoxins work faster in women than in men. Many of our patients at Slate Medspa prefer Xeomin beacause the onset is more gradual.
Botulinum Resistance: Some patients develop a resistance to neurotoxin treatments after prolonged use. When someone becomes resistant to Botulinum, the effects of the treatment as well as the duration it lasts become reduced. Resistance is a result of the production of antibodies against the Botulinum toxin molecule. The risk of developing antibodies to Botulinum increases with the amount of complexing proteins – these are found in BOTOX, Dysport, and Jeuveau, but not Xeomin. BOTOX, Dysport, and Jeuveau are bound to complexing proteins. Xeomin, on the other hand, is unique in that during their manufacturing process, the complexing proteins are removed to produce a “purer” form of Botulinum.
Duration of Effectiveness: There is no clear proof of which brand of toxin lasts the longest. Most will agree that BOTOX, DYSPORT, XEOMIN, and JEUVEAU all last between 3- 6 months. Many studies have shown some brands last longer than others, while several studies disagree. Many studies have found that all 4 brands have a similar duration. The scientific consensus is that there is no significant difference in duration of action.
ASK FOR BOTOX, XEOMIN, DYSPORT and JEUVEAU BY NAME
Only BOTOX, DYSPORT, XEOMIN, and JEUVEAU have been evaluated and approved by the FDA. Be wary of discount providers or “cheap botox”. These may be unregulated imported products or diluted formula. Make sure you receive authentic products by taking a few simple steps.
- Ask to see the vial that the specialist will use during your treatment. The vial will have the logo and also have a holographic image. If the vial has another logo or marking, then it is not authentic.
- See a reputable medical provider like Slate Medspa who purchases directly from each manufacturer. To locate authorized medical providers, use the Find a Specialist tool on the BOTOX , Dysport , Xeomin , or Jeuveau websites.
How does BOTOX & TOXINS work?
Toxins targets one of the underlying causes of frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet—the repeated muscle contractions from frowning, laughing, concentrating and squinting over the years. Your specialist will inject these muscles to temporarily reduce muscle activity. You will begin to notice a visible smoothing of your crow’s feet lines and frown lines between your brows.
