There are similarities between the top wrinkle-reducing treatments or neurotoxins on the market that block muscle movement, but they have subtle patentable differences. Xeomin’s distinction is that it’s a purer form of the botulinum toxin, undergoing an extra purification step to remove unnecessary proteins.
Xeomin typically lasts 3 to 4 months, but each patient is different.
Xeomin can be a good alternative for users that have developed an immunity to Botox’s effects. If you find that your Botox treatments aren’t as effective as they used to be, ask us about Xeomin at your consultation.
In the cosmetic world, Xeomin is used to treat wrinkles in the forehead and between the brows to soften frown lines.
The muscles on your forehead and between your eyebrows contract or squinch, causing wrinkles when you squint or frown. As your skin ages, it loses some of its elasticity over time, causing persistent frown lines from these repetitive facial muscle movements. When injected, Xeomin temporarily blocks the nerve endings in the face muscles to improve moderate to severe wrinkles and frown lines.
It’s a quick and straightforward procedure, performed by a specialist, that does not require anesthesia. After your free consultation, the Xeomin treatment takes about 10-20 minutes. It’s an anti-aging procedure that diminishes wrinkles and can be conveniently scheduled even on your lunch break.
Individual patients are different, but you should expect to see results in as early as 3-4 days following injection and continue up to 30 days.
Serious side effects may occur if the patient develops an allergic reaction to Xeomin. A normal concern for patients considering an elective procedure; however, an allergic reaction to Xeomin is very rare. Symptoms of an allergic reaction may include: redness; itching; rash; swelling; wheezing or other asthma symptoms; dizziness or faint feeling. If you experience an allergic reaction to Xeomin, please contact us immediately.
