Botox, Xeomin, and Jeuveau are all popular treatments used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. While all three are neuromodulators that use the same active ingredient, they differ in their formulation and dosing. In this blog post, we will discuss the differences between botox, xeomin, and jeuveau, and help you decide which one is the best fit for you.
Botox
Botox is the most well-known neuromodulator, and has been used for cosmetic purposes for over 20 years. It is made from botulinum toxin type A, a neurotoxin that blocks the signals between the nerves and the muscles, thus relaxing the muscles and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Botox is FDA-approved for the treatment of moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines.
Botox takes around 2-7 days to show its effects, and its results typically last around 3-4 months. The dosing of Botox varies depending on the area being treated, the severity of the wrinkles, and the patient’s muscle mass.
Xeomin
Xeomin is another neuromodulator that is made from botulinum toxin type A. However, it differs from Botox in that it is a “naked” form of the toxin, meaning that it does not contain any additional proteins or additives. This makes Xeomin a purer form of the toxin, and may reduce the risk of allergic reactions in some patients.
Xeomin takes around 2-7 days to show its effects, and its results typically last around 3-4 months. The dosing of Xeomin is similar to that of Botox.
Jeuveau
Jeuveau, also known as “Newtox,” is the newest neuromodulator on the market. Like Botox and Xeomin, it is made from botulinum toxin type A. However, it is formulated differently, with a higher molecular weight than Botox or Xeomin.
Jeuveau takes around 2-7 days to show its effects, and its results typically last around 3-4 months. The dosing of Jeuveau is similar to that of Botox and Xeomin.
So, what are the differences between Botox, Xeomin, and Jeuveau?
Formulation
Botox and Xeomin are both formulated with botulinum toxin type A, but they differ in their additional proteins or additives. Botox contains additional proteins, while Xeomin is a “naked” form of the toxin. Jeuveau is formulated with a higher molecular weight than Botox or Xeomin.
Dosing
The dosing of Botox, Xeomin, and Jeuveau is similar and depends on the area being treated, the severity of the wrinkles, and the patient’s muscle mass.
Onset and Duration of Action
All three neuromodulators take around 2-7 days to show their effects, and their results typically last around 3-4 months. However, some patients may experience longer or shorter-lasting effects depending on their metabolism.
Cost
The cost of Botox, Xeomin, and Jeuveau varies depending on the clinic and the amount needed for the treatment.
Conclusion
Botox, Xeomin, and Jeuveau are all effective treatments for reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. While they differ in their formulation and dosing, they all work by blocking the signals between the nerves
