Neurotoxins: What’s the Difference—and Which Is Right for You?
Botox, Jeuveau, Xeomin & Dysport: What’s the Difference—and Why We Love Dysport
If you're thinking about softening fine lines and wrinkles, chances are you've heard of Botox—but what about Dysport, Jeuveau, or Xeomin? These wrinkle-relaxing injectables may seem similar, but each has its own unique benefits. At Modern Aesthetics, we offer all four—but Dysport is our favorite (and most requested) for a reason.
Here’s what you need to know.
What Do They All Do?
All four products—Botox®, Dysport®, Jeuveau®, and Xeomin®—are neuromodulators. They work by temporarily relaxing facial muscles to smooth dynamic lines, like frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet. The result: a fresher, more youthful appearance with minimal downtime.
Let’s Break Down the Options
Dysport® (Our Favorite!)
Why We Love It: Dysport consistently delivers faster results, a natural, soft finish, and is perfect for larger treatment areas like the forehead.
Quick Results: Starts working in just 1–3 days—quicker than Botox.
Natural Look: Spreads more easily under the skin for a softer, more blended effect.
Long-Lasting: Results typically last about 3–4 months, sometimes longer with regular treatments.
Great for Stronger Muscles: Especially effective for patients with more pronounced lines or stronger facial muscles.
Client Favorite: At Modern Aesthetics, most of our patients prefer Dysport once they’ve tried it—it’s the standout in our lineup.
Botox®
The Original: Botox is the most well-known and widely used wrinkle relaxer.
Reliable Results: Starts working in 3–5 days, with full results by day 10–14.
Tried and True: Great for those who want a classic, consistent outcome.
Good for Smaller Areas: Best for targeted treatment like crow’s feet or between the brows.
Jeuveau® ("Newtox")
Modern Alternative: Jeuveau is newer to the market and made specifically for cosmetic use.
Younger Vibe: Popular among first-time users and younger patients.
Smooth Results: Similar onset and duration as Botox (3–5 days; lasts ~3 months).
Budget-Friendly: Often competitively priced and just as effective for many patients.
Xeomin®
Clean Formula: Xeomin contains only the active ingredient, with no accessory proteins—some call it the “naked” neurotoxin.
Good for Long-Term Use: May be a great option if you’ve developed resistance to Botox or other brands.
Onset & Duration: Works in 3–5 days and lasts around 3–4 months.
Why Dysport Stands Out at Modern Aesthetics
We choose Dysport more often than any other wrinkle relaxer because it offers the best combination of fast results, natural movement, and client satisfaction. It’s a perfect match for those who want to look refreshed, not frozen.
Whether you’re brand new to wrinkle relaxers or looking to switch it up, our expert injectors will guide you through choosing the right option for your skin, goals, and lifestyle.
