Botox vs Xeomin: The Case for the "Naked" Toxin
If you have used toxin for years and it seems weaker, this comparison is for you.
Prices last verified July 2026
Quick verdict
Xeomin contains only the active neurotoxin without complexing proteins, which lowers the theoretical risk of antibody resistance in long-term repeat users. Botox has the longest track record and widest doctor familiarity. Results and duration are comparable; the choice matters most for high-frequency users (like masseter treatment every 4 months for years).

Which should you choose
New to toxin: either, pick the better injector. Years of regular use, results fading sooner: discuss Xeomin. Room-temperature stability also makes Xeomin less vulnerable to cold-chain failures, relevant when buying from unverified sources.
