What are Neurotoxins ?
Botox or botulinum toxin A is an injectable treatment for wrinkle reduction. It works by relaxing the facial muscles of expression to soften or get rid of wrinkles., Neurotoxins have other benefits as well including: pore size reduction, acne reduction and even treatment for crepey skin. It is most commonly used for wrinkles. It can also be used for TMJ, teeth grinding and chronic migraine. There are different brands of neurotoxin on the market. Botox, Xeomin, Dysport and Daxxify are the ones that we carry. So why would you choose one over the other? Xeomin is another injectable that is similar to Botox and Dysport. Xeomin Cosmetic is a neuromodulator used to block muscle movement in areas experiencing wrinkle formation. It contains the same core toxin as the others, called botulinum, but because it undergoes an extra step of purification there are no complexing proteins. This means, unlike Botox or Dysport, the body is less likely to become immune to its effects over prolonged usage.
This isn’t to imply that Xeomin is better than Botox or Dysport either, because all are administered the same way, offering the same results, lasting the same amount of time. Plus, not everyone experiences such immunities. What it does mean, though, is that Xeomin has become a great alternative if the effects of Botox or Dysport are no longer meeting your desired results.
