The Science of Smooth Skin: Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin at Source Medical Aesthetics


At Source Medical Aesthetics, our team of experts is dedicated to providing cutting-edge aesthetic treatments that transform your complexion. Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are three popular wrinkle-relaxing injectables that have revolutionized the fight against fine lines and wrinkles. Let's delve into the science behind these treatments.

How Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin Work


Facial muscles can be categorized into two types:

  1. Dynamic muscles: Control facial expressions (smiling, frowning, etc.)
  2. Static muscles: Maintain facial structure (eyebrow lift, facial contours)


Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin target dynamic muscles, temporarily relaxing them to:

  • Reduce muscle contractions that cause wrinkles
  • Block nerve signals to minimize facial expressions


Here's the process:

  1. Neurotransmitter release: Nerve cells release chemicals (acetylcholine) to signal muscle contraction.
  2. Botox/Dysport/Xeomin binding: The neurotoxin binds to nerve terminals, blocking acetylcholine release.
  3. Muscle relaxation: Dynamic muscles relax, reducing wrinkle formation.


By selectively relaxing dynamic muscles, Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin:

  • Soften facial expressions
  • Reduce wrinkle depth
  • Prevent new wrinkles from forming

The Difference Between Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin


While all three treatments share similarities, key differences set them apart:


  • Spread: Dysport has a wider spread, ideal for larger areas (forehead)
  • Localization: Botox has a more localized effect, perfect for targeted wrinkles (Crow's Feet)
  • Refinement: Xeomin is a more refined product, with a softer and more natural-looking effect


Our expert injectors will determine the best treatment for your unique needs.
