Dr. Charles Mok explains why Xeomin lasts longer than Botox at equivalent doses. He's extended some patients' treatment intervals from three months to four months with Xeomin, cutting annual injections. Dysport's unpredictable spread and unit confusion make it harder to use consistently.

Questions this video answers

About two to three weeks longer.

Every three months.

Now there's something called a duration curve, dose duration curve. And the more units used, does it last longer? Well, that is the case with some of them, but not all of them. Botox doesn't have a very strong dose duration curve. Xeomin does. So I like that as well. Also, Xeomin, on average, if you use the same number units as Botox, you get about two weeks more out of it, maybe even three weeks more out of it. So it gives the advantage of lasting a little longer. In fact, historically, we schedule patients for Botox every three months. And we started putting Xeomin in the GLA and Orbicularis remove people out to four months. So it actually saves them a treatment a year, basically, or treatment every two years. I have preferences based on some practicalities. Again, dysport, I think that's a great neurotoxin. We don't use it because there is confusion with the units and it's uncontrollable in the spread, which might make it great for the forehead, maybe not so great for other areas.
