Xeomin
Xeomin is a neurotoxin used to temporarily relax muscles. It's often used to treat wrinkles and lines on the face, such as frown lines between the eyebrows and crow's feet around the eyes. Xeomin works by blocking nerve signals to the muscles, causing them to relax and smooth out the appearance of wrinkles. One of the advantages of Xeomin is that it's a purified form of botulinum toxin, meaning it has fewer proteins than other neurotoxins. This reduced protein content may lead to a lower risk of developing antibodies, which can potentially reduce the effectiveness of future treatments.

Features & Benefits
Non-Surgical Solution
Xeomin, a non-surgical solution to address dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines between the eyebrows and crow’s feet around the eyes. It involves injections of incobotulinumtoxinA, a purified form of botulinum toxin, which temporarily relaxes the underlying muscles, smoothing the appearance of wrinkles.
Targeted Fat Reduction
Xeomin is specifically designed to target and relax hyperactive muscles, smoothing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. It can help refine facial expressions and create a more youthful and refreshed look without the need for surgery.
Minimally Invasive
The treatment is minimally invasive, involving a series of injections into the submental fat. This means there’s typically minimal downtime and discomfort associated with the procedure.
Permanent Results
Xeomin relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles, smoothing the skin and creating a more youthful appearance. Unlike some other neurotoxins, Xeomin is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, free of complexing proteins. This can lead to a more natural-looking result and a longer-lasting effect.

What is Xeomin?
Xeomin is an FDA-approved injectable treatment used to temporarily relax hyperactive muscles that cause wrinkles and fine lines. It is composed of a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, a neurotoxin that blocks nerve signals to the muscles, resulting in a smoother and more youthful appearance.
How does Xeomin work?
Xeomin blocks nerve signals to specific muscles that cause wrinkles. This prevents the muscles from contracting, resulting in a smoother and more relaxed appearance of the skin. As the effects of Xeomin wear off, the muscles gradually regain their ability to contract, and the wrinkles may gradually return.
Who is a good candidate for Xeomin?
Good candidates for Xeomin are individuals with moderate to severe dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines between the eyebrows and crow’s feet around the eyes. It’s important to have realistic expectations and be in good overall health before considering this treatment.
How is Xeomin administered?
Xeomin is administered through a series of small injections directly into the specific muscles causing the wrinkles. The exact number of injections and treatment areas will depend on the individual’s desired outcome and the severity of the wrinkles. Treatment sessions are typically spaced several weeks apart.
What is the recovery like after Xeomin treatment?
Recovery after Xeomin treatment is typically minimal. Patients may experience mild side effects such as temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. Most individuals can resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment.
How many Xeomin sessions are needed?
The number of Xeomin sessions needed varies depending on the individual’s desired outcome and the severity of the wrinkles. Typically, one to three treatments per year are recommended, with each session spaced several months apart.
When will I see the results of Xeomin?
Results from Xeomin are typically visible within a few days to a week after treatment. However, it may take up to two weeks for the full effects to be noticeable. The results of Xeomin are temporary, and the effects will gradually wear off over time, usually lasting 3-4 months.
Are there any risks or complications associated with Xeomin?
Xeomin is generally considered safe when administered by a qualified healthcare professional. However, potential risks and side effects can include mild pain, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, temporary muscle weakness, headache, and flu-like symptoms. Choosing an experienced provider and following post-treatment instructions can help minimize these risks.
