Xeomin is Merz's brand of botulinum toxin type A, FDA-approved for frown lines. It's a purified 'naked' toxin with no complexing proteins, which may lower the chance of developing resistance over time. It smooths dynamic wrinkles with results in about a week, lasting 3–4 months.
Xeomin is Merz's brand of botulinum toxin type A, distinguished by its purified, 'naked' formulation that contains no complexing proteins. The theoretical benefit is a lower chance of developing resistance (antibodies) over time, which appeals to long-term tox patients. It smooths frown lines, forehead lines, and crow's feet with onset and duration comparable to Botox — results in about a week, lasting 3–4 months.
For a practice, Xeomin is a strong option to offer patients worried about building tolerance to their toxin, and a useful talking point that differentiates the menu. As with any neuromodulator, the conversion lever is trust: previewing a natural, refreshed result on the patient's own photo reassures first-timers and keeps regulars loyal.

Xeomin is purified to remove the complexing proteins found in other toxins. This 'naked' formulation may reduce the likelihood of developing antibodies (resistance), which is why some long-term tox patients switch to it.
Yes — Xeomin is botulinum toxin type A like Botox, with comparable onset and duration. Studies show similar efficacy; the main difference is the purified formulation.
About 3–4 months for most patients, after which movement gradually returns and treatment is repeated.
