Botox® in Northridge, CA

Botox and Xeomin are both FDA-approved neurotoxins derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. They are used in cosmetic medicine to temporarily paralyze targeted muscles, thereby reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. While both serve similar purposes and have comparable effects, they differ slightly in their formulation. Botox contains additional proteins, while Xeomin is considered a “naked” neurotoxin, as it contains only the active botulinum toxin type A without any accessory proteins. This difference can influence how the body reacts to the treatment, with some individuals preferring one over the other due to individual sensitivities or desired outcomes. Both treatments are also used therapeutically to address various medical conditions, such as migraines, TMJ disorders, and excessive sweating.
