Neurotoxin Comparison Chart
| Brand | Onset Time | Duration | Spread | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Botox | 3-5 days | 3-4 months | Moderate | Versatile use, including medical treatments |
| Dysport | 2-3 days | 3-4 months | Wider spread | Larger areas like forehead |
| Jeuveau | 3-5 days | 3-4 months | Moderate | Aesthetic-only use, great for first-timers |
| Xeomin | 3-5 days | 3-4 months | Moderate | Long-term use, resistance concerns |
*On set time is when it starts to take effect, but full effects take weeks.
Each neurotoxin offers unique benefits depending on your goals, treatment area, and previous experience.
Botox is a trusted all-around option, while Dysport spreads more easily and works quickly, great for broader areas like the forehead. Jeuveau appeals to younger patients or first-timers focused on aesthetic results, and Xeomin is a simplified, protein-free formula that may suit long-term users concerned about resistance.
Let’s take a closer look at each one.
Botox: Trusted and Versatile
As the most recognized name in the world of neurotoxins, Botox is a time-tested solution for softening frown lines, forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, and more.
It offers precision control and is FDA-approved for both cosmetic and medical uses, including TMJ, migraines, and hyperhidrosis.
Ideal for individuals seeking a proven option with a wide range of uses.
Dysport: Fast-Acting and Ideal for Larger Areas
Dysport kicks in quickly, usually within 2 to 3 days, and spreads more broadly than Botox. This makes it especially effective for smoothing large treatment zones, such as the forehead, with fewer injections.
Ideal for patients wanting fast results and coverage for larger facial muscles.
Jeuveau: Aesthetic-Only and Great for First-Timers
Nicknamed “Newtox,” Jeuveau is a modern neurotoxin made exclusively for cosmetic use. It’s particularly effective at treating frown lines between the brows (glabellar lines), with soft, natural-looking results that make it a popular choice among younger patients and those new to injectables.
Ideal for first-time patients or anyone focused solely on aesthetic improvement.
Xeomin: Purified and Long-Term Friendly
Xeomin contains only the active ingredient—botulinum toxin A—without added proteins. This “naked” formula may reduce the risk of resistance, making it a preferred choice for long-term users who feel that Botox or Dysport have become less effective over time.
Ideal for individuals seeking a clean, simplified formula for consistent long-term results.
