A Guide to the Most Popular Tox Options at Get Tox’d

At Get Tox’d, we’re all about personalized results—and that starts with choosing the right product for your unique goals. Whether you’re new to the world of Tox or just curious about which wrinkle relaxer is best for you, this post breaks down the key differences between Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin based on science, not hype.

Let’s clear up the confusion and help you choose the perfect Tox for your treatment.

What Do Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin Have in Common?

All three products—Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®—are forms of botulinum toxin type A, a neurotoxin used to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles. This results in smoother skin and a reduction in dynamic wrinkles, such as:

• Frown lines (glabellar lines)

• Crow’s feet (outer eye lines)

• Forehead lines

• Bunny lines

• Lip lines or chin dimpling

They all work by blocking the release of acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter that causes muscle contractions.

Medical Consensus (Toxins Journal, 2023):
Clinical trials show all three neurotoxins are equally safe and effective, but differences in formulation and diffusion can lead to varying results depending on the treatment area and individual anatomy.

Botox® – The Gold Standard

Botox is the most well-known brand and has been FDA-approved for cosmetic use since 2002.

Key Features:

• Heavily studied with decades of safety data

• Contains accessory proteins that stabilize the active toxin

• Strong muscle-targeting precision

• Onset: 3–5 days, peak at 7–14 days

• Duration: 3–4 months

Best For:

• Classic treatments (forehead, frown lines, crow’s feet)

• Patients who prefer tried-and-true results

Study Highlight (Aesthetic Surgery Journal, 2022):
Botox showed predictable and consistent results, especially in smaller, controlled treatment areas.

Dysport – The Fast-Acting Option

Dysport is another FDA-approved neurotoxin that tends to spread more easily, making it a popular choice for larger treatment areas like the forehead.

Key Features:

• Diffuses more broadly, ideal for larger muscle groups

• Contains accessory proteins like Botox

• Onset: 1–3 days, peak at 7 days

• Duration: 3–5 months

Best For:

• Patients looking for fast results

• Larger surface areas (e.g., broad foreheads or neck bands)

Clinical Study (Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021):
Dysport had a quicker onset and broader diffusion, making it a favorite for patients needing rapid results before events.

Xeomin – The “Pure” Tox

Xeomin is often referred to as the "naked" neurotoxin because it’s free of complexing proteins. This means it contains only the active botulinum toxin—nothing else.

Key Features:

• No accessory proteins (reduced risk of antibody resistance)

• Minimalist formulation = lower chance of allergic reaction

• Onset: 3–4 days, peak at 7–10 days

• Duration: 3–4 months

Best For:

• Patients who’ve built up resistance to other products

• People seeking a more natural alternative or have sensitivities

Study in Dermatologic Surgery (2020):
Xeomin showed comparable results to Botox, with slightly less protein load, which may be beneficial for long-term users.

So... Which One Should You Choose?

At Get Tox’d, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all beauty. Instead, our licensed medical providers will recommend the best product for your facial structure, skin type, and aesthetic goals.

Looking for fast results before an event? → Dysport
Worried about protein resistance or want a clean formula? → Xeomin
Prefer a classic with long-term studies and predictable results? → Botox

Why Your Injector Matters (More Than the Product)

Even the best product can give poor results if it’s not injected properly. At Get Tox’d, our team is trained in the proprietary Tox’d Technique—a precise, personalized method that ensures you look refreshed, never frozen.

Study (Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2022):
Injector technique had a greater impact on client satisfaction than product brand alone.
