Xeomin®

As we age, the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines becomes increasingly noticeable, fueling a growing interest in non-invasive treatments that offer natural-looking results. While surgical options are available, many individuals are seeking lighter, less intrusive ways to rejuvenate their appearance without going under the knife.

Xeomin® is a next-generation neurotoxin that temporarily smooths frown lines between the eyebrows. This treatment can give you a refreshed look without altering your ability to express yourself. At Skinlogic, we focus on research-based, medical-grade cosmetic treatments to meet your unique skincare needs. Conveniently located in Severna Park, MD, we’re here to help you achieve your personal aesthetic goals.

What Is Xeomin®?

Xeomin® is a type of neuromodulator, which means it works by putting up a roadblock between the nerves and the muscles. Unlike other neuromodulators, Xeomin® is uniquely purified to remove any proteins that are not needed for treatment. This results in a highly concentrated product that can effectively smooth wrinkles while allowing you to maintain natural facial expressions.

What Is Xeomin® Used For?

Frown Lines

The primary FDA-approved use for Xeomin® is to help minimize frown lines, sometimes called glabellar lines or 11s, between the eyebrows. These lines can give the face a stern or displeased appearance, even when you’re feeling your best. Improving and lifting the facial appearance while maintaining normal expression and facial movement is one of the main reasons people seek Xeomin® treatments. 

Other Uses

  • Other Lines and Wrinkles: Xeomin® can be used to treat forehead lines, lip lines, bunny lines on the nose, and crow’s feet around the eyes.
  • DAO Relaxation: The depressor anguli oris (DAO) is a muscle that pulls down the corners of the mouth, and Xeomin® can be used to relax this muscle, creating a more balanced smile.
  • Lip Flip: For those interested in a subtle change to their lips, a “lip flip” with Xeomin® can give the upper lip a slightly fuller and more elevated appearance.
  • Dimpled Chin: Xeomin® can also be effective for treating a dimpled or “cobblestone” appearance on the chin, creating a smoother surface.
  • Neck Lines: Xeomin® can be employed to soften horizontal neck lines, providing a more youthful appearance to the neck area.

What Are the Benefits of Choosing Xeomin®? 

A “Naked” Injectable

One feature of Xeomin® is its status as a “naked” injectable, meaning it doesn’t contain any additional proteins or additives. This stripped-down formulation allows for a more targeted treatment, reducing the likelihood of developing resistance to the neuromodulator over time.

Light, Natural-Looking Results

If you’re looking for an option that offers a subtle change without making you look “overdone,” a Xeomin® treatment may be an excellent choice. Because of its purified formulation, Xeomin® provides results that are both light and natural-looking, letting your real self shine through.

Fast, Non-Invasive Treatment

Another benefit of choosing Xeomin® is the speed and ease of the procedure. Typically, a session takes no more than 20 minutes, allowing you to fit it into even the busiest of schedules. The treatment involves a series of small injections, making it a non-invasive alternative to more drastic cosmetic procedures.

No Downtime

Perhaps one of the most attractive aspects of Xeomin® is that there’s virtually no downtime post-treatment. You can immediately resume your normal activities, making it a convenient option for those who can’t afford to take time off work or other commitments.

Precision in Treatment

Xeomin®’s highly purified formulation allows for precise targeting of specific muscles, offering you greater control over the results. This is especially beneficial for treating smaller areas or for fine-tuning previous treatments.

Suitable for All Different Skin Types

Another key benefit of Xeomin® is its versatility in treating all different skin types. Its purified formulation minimizes the risk of skin irritation or allergic reactions, making it an accessible option for a diverse range of patients.

Xeomin® FAQs

There is no way to tell for sure how long Xeomin® will last. However, the effects of Xeomin® injections generally last around three to four months. The timeline may be influenced by factors such as metabolism, muscle activity, and the specific area being treated.

After a Xeomin® treatment, you can typically expect to see results within three to five days. However, it’s worth noting that the full effects might not be noticeable until about two weeks post-treatment. Most people will notice a subtle increase in effectiveness for the first few weeks and then a plateau before results begin to fade several months later.

Both Xeomin® and Botox® are types of neuromodulators used for similar cosmetic purposes. When it comes to longevity, the duration of their effects is about the same. The choice between the two often comes down to personal preference and specific treatment goals. We use and recommend both for different patients. 

While the duration of Xeomin® injections is generally fixed, some strategies might extend its longevity. These can include maintaining a consistent skincare regimen and avoiding extreme sun exposure. However, it’s crucial to consult with us for personalized advice tailored to your needs.
