Botox, Dysport, Xeomin and others: how are they different?

The short answer

All of them relax muscles in the same basic way. They differ in how they are made, how fast they start working, and how long results usually last. No brand is the best one for everyone. Daxxify is approved in the US, but not in Canada.
