A Quick Guide to Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin
If you have wrinkles on your forehead, in between your brows, and around your eyes that you wish didn’t exist, there are many different treatments available that can actually help those wrinkles disappear. Neurotoxins like Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, for example, are incredibly popular injection treatments that relax and ease the appearance of facial wrinkles to restore youth and vitality to the skin. If you’ve never tried a neurotoxin treatment before, or if you’re curious about the other options available to you, here is everything you should know!
How Do Neurotoxins Help the Skin?
Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are all neurotoxin agents with slight differences that help them combat unwanted wrinkles in specific ways. Despite their differences, all three treatments rely on a form of Botulinum toxin type A to relax the facial muscles responsible for creating temporary lines on the face that eventually turn into permanent wrinkles. Once the facial muscles can relax, the skin has the opportunity to smooth out and let wrinkles disappear.
Botox Wipes Away Wrinkles and Crow’s Feet
Botox is the most widely known neurotoxin treatment and has been utilized for decades. Each injection of Botox contains a very small amount of highly purified botulinum toxin and other proteins. While the toxin relaxes targeted muscles on the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes, the extra proteins form clumps that help results last longer. Results start to show over the span of a few weeks as wrinkles release themselves and creases disappear.
Dysport Is The Natural Brow Wrinkle Solution
Dysport is very similar to Botox, but focuses specifically on treating only moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. After a Dysport injection, the glabellar lines start to disappear and leave smoother, more radiant skin in their place. Dysport also offers the speed that everybody wants; the treatment only takes 15 minutes and results are visible within days.
Xeomin Tackles Moderate to Severe Frown Lines
Xeomin is a third type of injection to receive FDA-approval for the treatment of facial wrinkles. It prides itself on being “naked” – or in other words, lacking the extra proteins found in Botox. Botulinum toxin A is the only ingredient in Xeomin, so it offers a pure formulation that works faster than its counterparts.
Neurotoxin treatments are some of the quickest and easiest ways to banish unwanted wrinkles and restore youthfulness to the face.
