Is All "Botox" The Same?

Botox, Xeomin, Jeuveau, Dysport, and Daxxify are all injectable neuromodulators used to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause them. While they share similar functions, they have differences in formulation, onset, duration, and other characteristics. But are they really different enough for you to pay a premium for one or the other?  No, they're not.  Choose the one you like best and that fits your budget. 

There are a few reasons to choose one over the other though:

1. You are becoming tolerant to Botox, meaning you need more and more of it to get the same effect.  Xeomin is the go-to brand when this happens because it is highly purified and free of accessory proteins.
2. You prefer one manufacturer's rewards program over another.  Merz, the maker of Xeomin, has a great rewards program that gives you $50 off each treatment every 90 days, plus you accrue points you can use for more money off in the future, which gets you more for your money!
