Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin? How to Choose the Best Toxin Treatment for You

March 10, 20255 min read

Introduction:

When it comes to smoothing wrinkles and achieving a refreshed look, Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are top choices. But with so many options, how do you know which one is right for you? Each of these neuromodulators works to relax facial muscles and soften fine lines, but they have subtle differences that can impact your results. Whether you're looking for faster effects, a more natural appearance, or a treatment that lasts longer, understanding their unique benefits can help you make the best choice. Let’s break down Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® so you can confidently choose the right one for your aesthetic goals.

Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin? How to Choose the Best Toxin Treatment for You

Everything You Need to Know About Toxin Treatments to Find the Best One for You!

  1. Botulinum toxin:  often known as Botox, is a substance made by a type of bacteria. While it’s very powerful and can be dangerous in large amounts, when used in tiny, controlled doses for certain treatments, it’s perfectly safe and effective. In places like MedSpas, this toxin is injected into specific muscles in the face to relax them. By blocking the signals that tell the muscles to move, it prevents wrinkles from forming and smooths out the skin. It’s like temporarily "freezing" the muscles, so they don’t wrinkle the skin when you make facial expressions.

Brands: There are a few well-known brands of botulinum toxin used for cosmetic and medical treatments. Some of the most popular ones include:

  1. Botox® – The most widely recognized brand, often associated with botulinum toxin treatments for wrinkles and other cosmetic uses. Botox is an injection that causes temporary muscle paralysis by blocking the nerves associated with muscle contraction. When used in a cosmetic procedure, the muscle weakness caused by Botox can reduce or eliminate fine lines, wrinkles, and brow furrows in the treated area.

  1. Dysport® – Another brand similar to Botox, but it has a slightly different formulation, which some people find spreads a bit more easily.

  1. Xeomin® – A purified form of botulinum toxin that doesn’t have any additives, making it a good option for people who might develop resistance to other forms.

  1. Jeuveau® – A newer brand on the market that is similar to Botox and is often marketed as a more affordable option.

Botox Treatments at TLC Med Spa

TLC Med Spa’s expertly trained team offers Botox cosmetic treatments to patients looking to reduce or eliminate facial wrinkles, frown lines, and crow’s feet. Botulinum toxin products like Botox can be administered preventatively—to stop wrinkles from forming—and reactively to smooth out wanted wrinkles that have already formed.

Botox is an FDA-approved cosmetic injectable offered at TLC Med Spa in Houston to smooth fine lines and wrinkles. Made by Allergan, Botox is composed of Botulinum toxin type A, a powerful neurotoxin that effectively relaxes the facial muscles responsible for the repetitive movements which lead to a furrowed brow and crows feet, and a prematurely aged or fatigued appearance.


How Much Does Botox® & Dysport® Cost in Houston?

Pricing for Botox® and Dysport® varies based on the provider and number of units needed. Here’s the average cost per unit in Houston:

  • Botox®: $10-$15 per unit

  • Dysport®: $4-$8 per unit (more units needed)

Most patients require 20-50 units per session, depending on the treatment area.

At TLC|MedSpa Houston, we offer Botox® at $13/unit and Dysport at $5/unit. If you are interested in booking an appointment, contact our office at 713-493-7700 to book an appointment to speak with one of our skilled injectors.

  • Botox can relax the upper lip to reduce the appearance of a gummy smile


What To Expect With Botox Treatment

Before Your Botox Treatment

Prior to the use of Botox, avoid blood thinners such as ibuprofen and aspirin. Plan to arrive at your appointment for Botox with a clean face without any makeup.

During Your Botox Treatment

At your appointment, your provider will clean the injection sites and can numb the treatment area with a topical anesthetic if necessary. Then, the Botox will be injected into the facial muscles using an ultra-fine needle. Botox injections take just a few minutes, and patients typically see results within 5 to 10 days.

After Your Botox Treatment

Patients can return to their normal routine immediately after Botox treatment, although it’s recommended to avoid a hot tub or sauna for at least 24 hours as well as any vigorous exercise.
