Understanding Xeomin vs. Dysport: Pick the Right Neuromodulator This Season

Looking to reduce wrinkles and freshen your appearance as Ontario enters another beautiful fall? At Subtle Aesthetics, serving North Bay and Sturgeon Falls, we’re committed to helping our clients make informed choices about cosmetic treatments. With popular neuromodulators like Xeomin and Dysport available in our North Bay clinic, understanding their differences can help you achieve your best, most natural-looking results this season.


What Are Neuromodulators? A Quick Overview


Neuromodulators are injectable treatments that temporarily relax targeted facial muscles, smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. They work by blocking nerve signals to the muscles, resulting in a rejuvenated, youthful appearance with little to no downtime.


At Subtle Aesthetics, we offer Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Letybo, but today, let’s zero in on the differences between Xeomin and Dysport—two of our most requested options.


Xeomin vs. Dysport: What Sets Them Apart?


Both Xeomin and Dysport use botulinum toxin type A to deliver their wrinkle-reducing effects, but they differ in their formulation and clinical application. Here’s what North Bay and area residents should know when considering Xeomin or Dysport this fall:


Formulation and Purity


- Xeomin is a “naked” neuromodulator—meaning it contains only the core active ingredient without accessory proteins. This purity can reduce the risk of developing resistance over time, which is important for those seeking ongoing treatments.

- Dysport includes additional accessory proteins that can impact how rapidly and widely the product spreads in the tissue, affecting both the onset of results and certain clinical outcomes.


Onset and Duration of Results


- Dysport is known for its rapid onset; most clients see visible smoothing effects within 2-3 days, making it a popular choice for those seeking quick results before special events or seasonal transitions.

- Xeomin tends to have a slightly slower onset, with noticeable improvements appearing within 3-4 days, reaching optimal results in about a week.

- Both options generally provide results that last around 3 to 4 months, making them ideal for those looking ahead to holiday photos or events.


Target Areas and Application


- Dysport is often favored for larger or more diffuse areas, such as the forehead and crow’s feet. Its ability to spread more can be an advantage in treating broader zones evenly.

- Xeomin is preferred for targeted precision, particularly in areas with deeper frown lines (glabellar lines) or for clients sensitive to accessory proteins.


Choosing the Best Neuromodulator for Your Skin and Goals


Selecting between Xeomin and Dysport isn’t a one-size-fits-all decision. The best choice depends on several factors, including:


- Personal treatment goals (quick results vs. longevity)

- Previous experiences or sensitivities to neuromodulators

- Desired treatment areas (broad vs. targeted)

- Individual muscle anatomy and strength


Our skilled injectors at Subtle Aesthetics will conduct a thorough consultation to assess your facial structure, muscle dynamics, and aesthetic goals. We always prioritize patient safety, natural-looking outcomes, and minimal downtime, so you can step into fall with renewed confidence.


Neuromodulators and Seasonal Skin: Why Timing Matters


Ontario’s autumn often brings drier air and increased stress as routines change, which can accentuate facial lines and wrinkles. Starting your Xeomin or Dysport treatment now means you’ll look refreshed for Thanksgiving gatherings, holiday parties, and winter festivities, all while giving your skin a break from summer sun exposure and setting the stage for healthier, glowing skin throughout the colder months.
