Smooth Away Facial Wrinkles and Creases
Xeomin is a prescription neuromodulator that smooths facial wrinkles by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause them. Unlike other neuromodulators like BOTOX, Xeomin contains no protein additives, making it a “naked” toxin that can reduce the risk of resistance over time. Commonly used to treat frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles, it helps achieve a youthful, refreshed appearance. When performed by skilled aesthetic providers, the results are natural-looking, with no “frozen” effect, and last up to 4 months.
Xeomin Is the Ideal Treatment For:
- Frown lines (glabellar lines) between the eyebrows
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Forehead wrinkles
- Bunny lines on the nose
- Chin dimpling and lines
How Does Xeomin Work?
Xeomin contains botulinum toxin type A, a purified protein that blocks the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contraction. By inhibiting acetylcholine, Xeomin temporarily relaxes the targeted facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines and crow’s feet.
This smooths the skin’s surface, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Xeomin is free from accessory proteins and contains only the active ingredient, which reduces the risk of the body developing resistance to the treatment.
The Unique Benefits of Xeomin:
- Contains no additives, reducing the risk of resistance
- Provides a natural, subtle look without a “frozen” effect
- Effective for smoothing frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles
- Fast, minimally invasive treatment with no downtime
- Results typically visible within a few days and last for up to four months
Xeomin FAQs
What Makes Xeomin Unique Compared to Other Neuromodulators?
Xeomin is often referred to as a “naked” neurotoxin because it contains only the active ingredient—botulinum toxin type A—without any accessory proteins. This means there is less risk of developing resistance, allowing for consistent results over time. It is also suitable for individuals who may have developed a resistance to other neuromodulators like BOTOX.
What Should I Expect During the Treatment?
A Xeomin treatment session is quick and minimally invasive. After a brief consultation to discuss your aesthetic goals, a specialist will use a fine needle to inject Xeomin into the targeted facial muscles. The process typically takes 10-15 minutes, with little to no discomfort, though a numbing cream can be applied if needed.
Are There Any Side Effects With Xeomin?
Side effects are generally mild and temporary. You may experience slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. Some patients might feel minor tenderness or a mild headache, but these effects usually resolve within a day or two. Serious side effects are rare, but you should always inform your provider about your medical history before treatment.
Is There Any Downtime After a Xeomin Treatment?
No, there is no downtime after Xeomin injections. You can return to your regular activities immediately after the procedure. However, it’s advised to avoid vigorous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and lying down for at least 4-6 hours post-treatment. Also, avoid massaging the treated areas to ensure the product settles correctly.
When Will I See the Results, and How Long Do They Last?
Most patients begin to notice the smoothing effects of Xeomin within 3-4 days of treatment, with the full results appearing after 7-10 days. The effects typically last about 3-4 months, after which the muscle movement gradually returns, and wrinkles may reappear.
