Xeomin - Botox Alternative
Exciting news at Scottsdale Adam and Eve Medical Aesthetics!
Scottsdale Adam and Eve Medical Aesthetics is proud to announce the launch of the newest FDA approved neurotoxin, Merz Aesthetic Corporation’s Botox /Dysport alternative called Xeomin. We are excited to be one of the few medical offices in the Valley to be able to offer our patients all three of the approved neurotoxins on the market today.
When Allergan’s Botox was FDA approved for anti-aging benefits over ten years ago, it was the only brand of its kind on the market in the United States. Medicis’ Dysport allowed us to give patients a choice in neurotoxins when it came on the market a couple years ago. Yet with both products containing an accessory protein to carry the botulinum toxin (egg or lactose), the body has the ability to build up antibodies over time, causing the results to diminish after continuous usage. Xeomin contains no accessory protein, making it a “pure” version of the botulinum toxin and reducing the risk of an allergic reaction or natural resistance.
Xeomin, Botox and Dysport are all FDA approved and aesthetically designed to smooth and diminish wrinkles. The most common areas treated are crow’s feet, forehead, frown lines around the eye area and brow lifts. However, other areas becoming more popular with patients are the smoker’s lines around the lips, cleavage wrinkling, and even underarm sweating.
Xeomin is the most similiar to Botox when measuring units to units. Dysport requires more units at a lower cost per unit. Both Botox and Xeomin require up to two weeks to see the full result of the treatment. Whereas Dysport has a much quicker onset for those patients wanting faster results. All three neurotoxins on the market can last from three to six months per treatment varying from patient to patient. Although we do not think one neurotoxin is superior to the other, we now have options for all our patients with different needs.
