Xeomin
What is Xeomin®?
Xeomin® is a prescription medication used to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, also known as glabellar lines. It is a type of botulinum toxin that works by blocking the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract. By relaxing these muscles, Xeomin® helps to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, providing a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Unlike other botulinum toxin products, Xeomin® is free from unnecessary proteins, which may reduce the risk of developing resistance to the treatment over time.
Advantages of Xeomin®
Xeomin® offers several benefits that make it an attractive option for those looking to reduce the signs of aging. Here’s why Xeomin® stands out:
- Natural-Looking Results: Xeomin® delivers smooth, natural-looking results by targeting the underlying muscle activity that causes wrinkles. Because it doesn’t contain any additives, it allows for more precise and predictable outcomes, ensuring your facial expressions remain natural and not frozen.
- Quick and Convenient: Treatments with Xeomin® are quick and convenient, often taking only about 10 to 20 minutes. This makes it an ideal option for those with busy schedules who are looking for a fast, effective solution to reduce wrinkles without significant downtime.
- Long-Lasting Effects: The effects of Xeomin® typically last for about three to four months, giving you long-lasting improvement in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. With regular treatments, you can maintain a smooth and youthful look year-round.
- Minimal Side Effects: Xeomin® is well-tolerated by most patients, with minimal side effects. The most common side effects are mild and temporary, such as localized pain, tenderness, or bruising at the injection site.
What to Expect During Treatment
During a Xeomin® treatment session, our provider will first evaluate your facial anatomy and discuss your aesthetic goals. The procedure itself is straightforward and quick.
Using a fine needle, the provider will inject Xeomin® into the targeted muscles. Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the injections, and no anesthesia is typically required. After the procedure, you can immediately return to your daily activities, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles.
Aftercare Tips
To ensure the best results and minimize any potential side effects, it’s important to follow proper aftercare guidelines.
Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your Xeomin® treatment:
- Refrain from touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours after your injection. This helps prevent the spread of the toxin to unintended areas and ensures it works effectively on the targeted muscles.
- Avoid lying down or bending over for about 4 hours after the treatment to prevent the Xeomin® from migrating away from the injection site.
- For the first 24 hours, avoid heavy exercise or activities that may cause excessive sweating. This reduces the risk of swelling and bruising at the injection sites.
- Adhere to any specific aftercare instructions provided by our provider. They know best how to ensure you achieve optimal results from your treatment.
