Both Xeomin and Botox are neurotoxins that target the nervous system and disrupts the nerve signaling process that stimulates muscle contraction, causing temporary muscle paralysis. For muscles to contract, the nerves must release acetylcholine, where their endings meet muscle cells. Acetylcholine is a chemical messenger that causes the cells to shorten or contract when they attach to the receptors on the muscle cells.
