Move over Botox and Dysport, here comes some competition! Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) was recently approved by the FDA for cosmetic use. Xeomin has been widely used in the past to treat cervical dystonia and blepharospasm. With the recent FDA approval it can now be used to treat frown lines. Xeomin is manufactured by Merz Aesthetics, the same company that manufactures Radiesse dermal filler. Xeomin doesn’t contain the same complex proteins as its competitors, which could potentially decrease the risk of certain side effects.

Dysport, approved by the FDA in 2009, has been widely used in other countries for years. And in the U.S., it is quickly catching up to it’s competitor in popularity. In fact, a report published in the Los Angeles Times (Botox face-off: Choice of toxin may matter (at least for crow’s feet), June 21, 2011) says people prefer Dysport over Botox for the treatment of crows feet wrinkles.
According to the report, researchers conducted a “randomized, double-blind” study in which subjects were treated with Dysport on one side of the face and Botox on the other. Researchers found that after 30 days “two-thirds of the patients said they preferred the Dysport side of their face.”

Self Esteem Boosters: Botox and Dysport?
Wednesday, February 16th, 2011
When you look better, you feel better… at least that’s according to a recent study published in Dermatologic Surgery, November 2010.
To come to that conclusion, researchers studied 100 patients who were injected with either botulinum toxin A or placebo saline. They were then asked to take surveys to rate their quality of life and self esteem two weeks after treatment, then again 3 months after treatment. For the patients that were treated with botulinum toxin A, researchers noted improvements to how they rated their quality of life after receiving treatment.

After- Dysport is the latest wrinkle relaxer approved by the FDA. Its action is similar to Botox - to temporarily relax muscles in the face that cause expression. This interference with facial muscular contractions allows for etched in lines and wrinkles to smooth out over time. The effects of Dysport, much like Botox, may last anywhere from 3 to 6 months for the average person undergoing treatment.
