Xeomin corrects dynamic wrinkles, smoothing the skin for a more inviting, radiant countenance. Xeomin is formulated just like BOTOX, but without the extra proteins that present an allergic reaction for some clients.
Dynamic wrinkles form due to repetitive contractions that happen in the tiny facial muscles when we squint, frown, smile, or laugh. These dynamic lines are difficult to smooth using over-the-counter skin care products, but with Xeomin injections, they quickly fade into obscurity. Xeomin helps to improve facial expressions so that you appear relaxed, happy, and youthful.
Xeomin is made with botulinum toxin A, the same ingredient as is found in BOTOX. It works to temporarily block the nerve impulses that trigger facial contractions leading to lines and wrinkles. The result is smoother skin, free from entrenched creases. A typical treatment consists of 6-25 injections strategically placed in areas that need to be refreshed and rejuvenated
After your Xeomin session, you will be able to return to your busy, active lifestyle right away. Minor swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection sites will dissipate by the next day. Xeomin treatment takes around 30 minutes and results can be seen within a few days.
Xeomin results become fully visible within 4-5 days. Some patients notice a marked reduction in their forehead lines as soon as the day after their injections, and results typically last around 4 months.
Xeomin contains fewer additives than BOTOX, so it is often substituted when a client does not respond well to BOTOX injections. Some clients can develop resistance to the proteins contained in BOTOX, so the purer formulation of Xeomin is useful in these cases. Our team will help to decide which product is most beneficial for you.
There is a risk that all botulinum toxin products may spread from the area where they were injected to other parts of the body, causing potentially life-threatening swallowing and breathing problems. This was predominantly seen in children treated with Botox off-label for cerebral palsy. These issues have not been reported among people who received botulinum products for cosmetic uses or to treat blepharospasm. Other risks may include bleeding and bruising at the injection site and allergic reactions such as itching, swelling or shortness of breath.
