Heard of Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin — but not sure what sets them apart?

We connected with the aesthetic experts at Synergy Face + Body to break down the differences between these top wrinkle relaxers to help readers find the best fit for their skin goals.

Botox

As the original neuromodulator, Botox has been in use the longest and is considered the industry standard — tried, true, and widely trusted. It works best when treating small, targeted areas.

Dysport

Dysport’s unique formulation allows for a broader coverage area with fewer injection points, making it ideal for larger treatment areas, such as the forehead. It also tends to show results faster — sometimes in just two to three days.

Xeomin

Xeomin is a “purer” blend, entirely free from accessory proteins. This makes it a great option for patients with sensitivities or who have developed a resistance to Botox or Dysport.

Still not sure which is right for you? Synergy’s team can help you find your custom match with a consultation.
