Xeomin vs Botox: What's the Difference and Which Is Better for You?

When it comes to wrinkle reduction, Botox is a household name—but have you heard of Xeomin? Both are FDA-approved botulinum toxin treatments used to smooth wrinkles and fine lines, but there are key differences worth knowing.

If you're considering anti-aging injections in Seoul, understanding Xeomin vs Botox will help you make an informed choice. At Lijin Clinic in Myeongdong, both Botox and Xeomin treatments are available, performed by licensed professionals for both locals and international patients.


✅ What is Botox?

Botox (Botulinum Toxin Type A by Allergan) is the most widely recognized injectable wrinkle relaxer. It works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to muscles, reducing movement and softening expression lines—especially in the forehead, crow's feet, and frown lines.

🔹 Botox Pros:

  • Long history of use and strong brand recognition

  • Visible results within 3–5 days

  • Lasts around 3–4 months

  • Available in various units and brands (Botox, Dysport, etc.)

🔸 Botox Cons:

  • Contains complex proteins (accessory proteins), which may cause resistance over time

  • Slightly higher risk of allergic reaction in sensitive patients

  • Some risk of "frozen" appearance if overdosed or improperly placed


✅ What is Xeomin?

Xeomin is also Botulinum Toxin Type A, but it’s purer—often called a “naked” toxin. Unlike Botox, Xeomin doesn’t contain any accessory proteins, which makes it less likely for patients to develop resistance or antibodies.

🔹 Xeomin Pros:

  • No unnecessary proteins → Lower risk of immune resistance

  • May feel more natural due to its minimalist formulation

  • Often recommended for patients who stopped responding to Botox

  • Faster diffusion → can be more precise in skilled hands

🔸 Xeomin Cons:

  • Slightly slower onset (4–7 days)

  • Less well-known brand globally

  • Requires precision from experienced injector for best results
