Neuromodulators are a popular option when you’re ready to bid farewell to wrinkles. But beyond BOTOX® Cosmetic, a variety of neurotoxins can help you regain your youthful look. While they all address dynamic wrinkles such as forehead lines, crow’s feet, and glabellar lines, each product offers its own pros and cons.
So, how do you weigh the benefits of DAXXIFY vs BOTOX and neuromodulator alternatives like Dysport® or XEOMIN®? The handy overview and infographic below will help you differentiate between treatments and understand which injectable may best suit your needs.
DAXXIFY vs BOTOX
- DAXXIFY is a purified form of botulinum toxin A, sometimes deemed the “vegan BOTOX.”
- DAXXIFY uses a proprietary peptide to stabilize the neurotoxin, whereas BOTOX uses human serum albumin derived from donated blood plasma.
- DAXXIFY works faster and lasts twice as long as BOTOX and other neurotoxins.
XEOMIN vs BOTOX
- XEOMIN has no additives, making it an attractive solution for highly sensitive skin.
- XEOMIN also contains the stabilizing protein human serum albumin.
- XEOMIN may benefit patients who have become unresponsive to other neurotoxins.
BOTOX vs Dysport
- Dysport has a thinner consistency than BOTOX.
- Dysport spreads faster and more efficiently than BOTOX, so it’s often preferred for treating larger areas like the forehead.
- BOTOX and Dysport both require little to no downtime.
DAXXIFY vs DYSPORT
- Like DAXXIFY, Dysport typically works faster than BOTOX and other neuromodulators.
- Dysport may diffuse more evenly, making it ideal for larger treatment areas.
- In some cases, Dysport may last longer than BOTOX but not as long as DAXXIFY.
Because each neuromodulator varies in formulation, the number of BOTOX units you’ll need will differ from the number of units you’ll need with DAXXIFY, Dysport, or XEOMIN. Your injector will assess your needs and treatment area to determine the dosage that will achieve your goals.

Most neuromodulators last 3 to 4 months, but DAXXIFY may be ideal for patients who want fast-acting and longer-lasting results. XEOMIN may be more suitable for those who have developed a resistance to other neuromodulators.
