Quick Takes

  • Xeomin, Dysport, and Botox are the three most recognized formulations of BoNTA in aesthetic medicine.
  • Differences in manufacturing processes lead to unique molecular structures and stability among these formulations.
  • Xeomin stands out for its highly purified nature, lack of complexing proteins, and sustainability, as it does not require cold storage.

Episode Transcript

Today is September 20, 2024. Let’s explore the transformative world of botulinum toxin A, or BoNTA, a game-changer in aesthetic medicine since its FDA approval in 1989. Over the years, its applications have expanded, and so have the available formulations. The three most recognized ones are Dysport, Xeomin, and Botox.

What sets these formulations apart? Each has unique manufacturing processes, leading to differences in their molecular structures and stability. Xeomin, for example, is highly purified and free of complexing proteins, enhancing its safety profile by reducing the risk of immunogenicity.

But what makes Xeomin stand out even further is its sustainability. Unlike other BoNTA products, it doesn’t require cold storage, significantly lowering its carbon footprint and making it more convenient for healthcare settings.

A panel of experienced dermatologists and plastic surgeons from Latin America recently developed a structured guideline for using Xeomin. This guideline emphasizes precise injection techniques customized for each patient, ensuring optimal and natural-looking results.

With meticulous treatment protocols and an emphasis on safety and sustainability, the advancements in BoNTA formulations like Xeomin continue to sculpt confidence for many. Stay tuned for more insights into the wonders of aesthetic medicine!
