Xeomin vs. Botox
Xeomin and Botox use the same active molecule class and deliver comparable smoothing for a comparable duration — the real differences are purity and price. Xeomin is "double purified" with no complexing proteins (a potential advantage for long-term users), and typically costs slightly less per unit. Dr. Luca Lioce, NMD at Vita Sana Medical Center in Scottsdale chose Xeomin as his clinic's neurotoxin for exactly those reasons.

What actually determines your result
Brand debates miss the point: 90% of a natural outcome is the injector — dose planning, placement, and respect for your anatomy. A skilled physician with Xeomin will beat a rushed injector with Botox every time. Choose the injector first; the toxin second.
At Vita Sana, every treatment is planned and injected personally by Dr. Lioce, an AAFE member — and Xeomin is the toxin he trusts for his patients' long-term results.
