Dysport and Xeomin each fall under the umbrella of neuromodulators, along with Botox injectables. Both Xeomin and Dysport are used to treat frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead wrinkles. What is the difference? Which is better for you? Which is offered at a medspa near me?
Neuromodulators are tiny proteins that block the communication between nerve and muscle cells. As a result, the muscle cannot move. The contraction of the facial muscles causes most wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes. Neuromodulators reduce the use of these muscles, reducing the signs of wrinkles and aging.
Xeomin is the “purest” form of the botulinum toxin because it does not contain accessory proteins. The pure formulation of Xeomin reduces the risk of allergic reaction or resistance.
Dysport contains additional safe inhibitors and muscular blocking agents that help improve its effectiveness.
Dysport injections are FDA approved to last up to 4 months but often last longer. Dysport injections tend to display active results almost immediately.
The purity of Xeomin, which lacks protein stability, means the product can wear off quicker than Dysport. Both products start to show visible results within 2-5 days.
The cost of injections varies based on the area treated. In general, horizontal lines on the forehead require the most units. Frown lines between the eyebrows and crow's feet generally follow with a lower number of units needed, depending on the severity of the lines.
Xeomin and Dysport in Warrenton, Virginia similarly cost about $500 per session, depending on the number of units needed and the area treated.
Xeomin and Dysport improve the signs of wrinkles on the forehead, chin, and other areas. You can contact our highly skilled injectors at Thrive to discuss what treatment fits your needs best. Call (540) 690-9249
