With the discovery of botulinum toxin, many medical breakthroughs have allowed for treatments of neuromuscular diseases. In the past few decades, the toxin has been broken down into smaller doses to treat signs of aging in the cosmetic industry through Botox®.
The most recent option for your anti-aging treatments is Xeomin®–a prescription medicine to improve moderate-to-severe frown lines between the eyebrows.
What is Xeomin®?
Xeomin® is an FDA-approved neuromodulator to treat deep forehead lines. It is one of three popular botulinum toxin Type A cosmetic treatments to treat moderate-to-severe wrinkles.
Unlike Dysport® and Botox®, Xeomin® is made of pure botulinum toxin Type A, making it powerful but better for smaller treatment areas. Xeomin® is the best choice for those who have anti-bodies against Botox® and Dysport® wanting long-lasting results.
How Does Xeomin® Work?
The neurotoxin blocks the signals between the nerves and problematic muscles that cause wrinkles and lines. The lower dosage temporarily blocks the signals without hindering natural facial expressions, allowing you to enjoy fewer wrinkles with a smile.
How Long is Recovery with Xeomin®?
Just like Botox®, Xeomin® does not require any downtime. You may receive Xeomin® injections during your lunch break and return to work immediately.
Xeomin® takes the longest of the three botulinum toxin treatments for noticeable results, taking a minimum of 3 days. Despite the long wait time, Xeomin® lasts up to a month longer than Dysport®, most only needing 3-4 treatments per year to maintain their results.
Results with Xeomin®
Xeomin® treats moderate-to-severe frown lines between the eyebrows. Most patients use Xeomin® for the upper part of their face with long-lasting results. The smaller particles allow for a different spread under the skin than the larger, more complex protein packaged Botox® and Dysport®.
You can enjoy relief from deeper lines in your forehead and feel confident in your smooth and relaxed skin.
Am I a Good Candidate for Xeomin®?
Xeomin® is best for those who have built anti-bodies against Botox® and Dysport®. The pure botulinum toxin targets even deeper lines within the forehead. The best way to know if Xeomin® is right for you is to contact the Laser Skin Care Center and schedule a consultation appointment today!
If you experience side effects such as difficulty swallowing or an allergic reaction, call your doctor or receive medical attention within hours or weeks after your treatment with Xeomin.
