What Is Xeomin?
Xeomin is a neuromodulator, similar to other injectables you might have heard of. It works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the muscles where it is injected, reducing muscle activity and consequently smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines. This makes it a reliable option for those looking to address certain age-related skin concerns without undergoing invasive treatments.
What Is Xeomin Used For?
Specifically designed to target and improve the appearance of facial wrinkles, Xeomin injections are most commonly used for treating frown lines between the eyebrows. These frown lines, also known as glabellar lines, can make you look tired or angry even when your face is at rest. Xeomin can provide a more relaxed and youthful appearance by softening these lines.
Xeomin vs. Botox? What Are the Differences?
While both Xeomin and Botox are types of neuromodulators that are used for similar cosmetic purposes, there are key differences between the two. Xeomin is considered a “naked” neuromodulator, meaning it contains just one ingredient: botulinum toxin A, without any additional proteins.
What Are the Benefits of Xeomin Treatments?
Quick Treatment
Xeomin treatment sessions are often completed in less than 30 minutes, taking up as little of your day as possible.
Fast Recovery Time
As a neuromodulator, Xeomin offers the advantage of minimal downtime. Most people can return to their regular activities immediately following the treatment without anyone knowing they’ve had a cosmetic treatment done.
Soft and Subtle Results
The effects of a Xeomin treatment can be soft and subtle, providing a refreshed appearance without making you look “overdone.” The treatment specifically targets the areas where it’s injected, leaving the surrounding muscles unaffected.
Reduced Resistance
Because Xeomin doesn’t have any extra proteins, there’s less chance of developing resistance over time. With Xeomin, you can make it part of your long-term beauty plan.
Consistent Results
Xeomin offers consistent, reliable outcomes. With the proper administration of your injector, you can expect your results to last several months, after which a follow-up treatment can maintain your appearance.
Customizable Treatment
The Xeomin treatment can be customized to meet your specific skin concerns and aesthetic goals. With this neuromodulator, you can receive a treatment that’s as unique as you are. Many people choose to start light and add more product later if desired.
FDA-Approved
Xeomin has received FDA approval for cosmetic use, particularly for treating frown lines. This means that the treatment has been reviewed and tested and can have many potential benefits.
Some FAQs About Xeomin
Xeomin typically lasts for about three to four months. The duration can vary depending on individual factors such as metabolism and the treated area. It’s worth noting that the longevity of the results can also be influenced by the specific area of the face that’s treated. Areas with more muscle activity may require more frequent touch-ups.
You can generally expect to see results within three to seven days following the treatment. Keep in mind that maximum results may take up to two weeks to fully manifest. If you’re planning this treatment for a particular event, timing is something you’ll want to consider.
Yes, Xeomin injections are suitable for all skin types. However, a consultation is recommended to address any specific concerns and determine the most effective treatment plan for you. While Xeomin is highly adaptable, discussing your medical history and aesthetic goals will help us tailor the treatment to your needs.
The Xeomin treatment is administered through a series of small injections directly into the targeted muscles using a fine needle. For frown lines, this will likely be at five different locations between or above the brows. Local anesthesia or a numbing cream may be used to enhance your comfort during the treatment.
Yes, you can return to your normal activities immediately after the treatment. Some minor redness or swelling may occur, but these symptoms usually resolve quickly. While strenuous exercise is generally not recommended for 24 hours post-treatment, most other daily activities can be resumed right away.
