Botox/Daxxify/
Dysport/Xeomin

Cosmetic neurotoxins are injectable treatments derived from botulinum toxin type A, a purified protein that temporarily relaxes targeted muscles. The most common brands are:

• Botox® (onabotulinumtoxinA)

• Daxxify® (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm)

• Dysport® (abobotulinumtoxinA)

• Xeomin® (incobotulinumtoxinA)

 

While all three contain botulinum toxin type A, they differ slightly in formulation:

Botox is the most well-known and widely used.

Dysport has a quicker onset in some patients and may diffuse more broadly.

Xeomin is “naked” — it contains no complexing proteins, which may reduce risk of antibody formation over time ​

Daxxify is a peptide-based formulation, unlike other neurotoxins which use proteins. This may contribute to its longer duration of action, with results lasting up to 5 months
