Your Botulinum Estimator

Both Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) and Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) are FDA-approved injectable neurotoxins used to temporarily smooth moderate to severe wrinkles and fine lines caused by muscle movement. They relax the targeted muscles, softening the expression lines above them. Xeomin is often called a "naked" neurotoxin because it contains only the active therapeutic component — no complexing proteins.

Both Botox and Xeomin typically last 3 to 6 months, depending on the treatment area, units used, your metabolism, and how active the treated muscles are. Most clients schedule follow-up appointments every 3 to 4 months to maintain smooth, refreshed results.

Both are botulinum toxin type A products that work by temporarily relaxing facial muscles. The main difference is formulation: Xeomin is purified to contain only the active neurotoxin, while Botox has accessory proteins attached. Because of that purity, Xeomin may reduce the chance of building antibodies that could weaken future results. In terms of visual outcome, most providers and patients consider them clinically interchangeable. Xeomin is priced at $10/unit and Botox at $12/unit at Preserva Therapy — you can choose either on the results screen.

Xeomin is $10 per unit and Botox is $12 per unit, both with a 20-unit minimum. Total cost depends on treatment areas and units needed. A typical frown line treatment runs $150 to $360, and a full-face session can be $200 to $700+. Use the estimator above for your personalized quote based on your photo.

Both are FDA-approved and have been used safely in millions of treatments worldwide — Botox since 2002 for cosmetic use, Xeomin since 2010. As with any medical procedure, minor risks include temporary bruising, mild headache, or swelling at the injection site. Our trained providers ensure safe, precise administration for every client.

Most patients notice improvement within 3 to 5 days, with full results visible around the 2-week mark. Some patients see changes as early as 24 to 48 hours. Xeomin's pure formulation can sometimes produce a slightly faster onset than Botox, though both work on similar timelines.

Most patients describe a brief pinching sensation during injection. The needles are very fine and the procedure typically takes 10 to 20 minutes. We can apply a topical numbing cream before treatment to minimize any discomfort. Many clients say it's much more comfortable than they expected.

Good candidates are adults looking to reduce wrinkles and fine lines caused by muscle movement — frown lines, forehead lines, crow's feet, masseter jawline slimming, and more. Xeomin is especially well-suited for patients who have developed resistance to other neurotoxins. Neither product is recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals or those with certain neuromuscular conditions. A consultation at Preserva Therapy will determine the best option for you.
