Understanding the 4 Types of Botox, We Offer: Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, and Xeomin
At Viva Skin Lounge, we’re all about enhancing your natural beauty and helping you feel confident in your skin! We offer four FDA-approved neurotoxins: Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, and Xeomin. Each of these helps smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, but they have a few key differences that make them unique. We’ll break down what each is, their benefits, and the areas they’re commonly used for.
What Are Neurotoxins, and How Do They Work?
Here’s a quick breakdown of the four main neurotoxins used in aesthetics:
Botox (OnabotulinumtoxinA)
Stabilized Protein: Accessory proteins ensure consistent results.
Best For: Versatile uses, including frown lines, crow’s feet, and even medical indications like migraines.
Dysport (AbobotulinumtoxinA)
Diffusion Advantage: Smaller molecule for broader coverage and quick onset (2-3 days).
Best For: Larger areas like the forehead and quick results.
Jeuveau (PrabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs)
Aesthetic Focus: Targeted, high-purity protein formulation.
Best For: Purely aesthetic use with natural results.
Xeomin (IncobotulinumtoxinA)
Naked Toxin: No accessory proteins, reducing antibody risk.
Best For: Patients prone to resistance, focusing on frown lines.
Why you should try all of the neurotoxins at some point
Rotating between different types of neurotoxins—like Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, and Xeomin—can be a smart strategy for anyone who regularly gets these treatments. Here’s why:
- Prevent Resistance: Using the same neurotoxin over long periods can lead to resistance, meaning the body may produce antibodies against specific proteins in the product, reducing its effectiveness. Switching up the neurotoxin type can help prevent this resistance, keeping treatments effective over time.
- Experience Different Results: Each neurotoxin has its own unique formulation, which affects how quickly it works, how long it lasts, and how it spreads. Each type lets you see what works best for specific areas or preferences.
- Avoid Plateauing Results: If your neurotoxin isn’t delivering the same results it once did, switching to a different type can offer a fresh outcome, sometimes with subtle differences that better fit your goals.
- More Options, Better Flexibility: Each neurotoxin brand has benefits and can be ideal for different areas or occasions. Rotating helps you discover the best options to meet your evolving needs.
Our providers can help guide you on which rotation plan best fits your lifestyle and skin goals!

From our Injector, Jessica, “I’m a big fan of using neurotoxins for full-face and neck treatments because they do so much more than just smooth wrinkles. They help slim, tighten, and enhance the natural contours of the face. It’s interesting to think about how tox can actually do the opposite of what we might expect—like relaxing the DAO muscle to correct a downturned frown and give a lifted appearance. Each tox has its own unique benefits, and I love figuring out which one’s the best fit for my clients during our consultations. Anatomy is huge when it comes to customizing treatments, and I enjoy taking the time to explain how everything works so they can see how full-face tox can truly transform their look.”
From our Injector, Jennifer, “Never lie about your age, just let your skin do it for you with neurotoxin treatments at Viva!”
