Neuromodulators, such as Botox®, are a popular anti-aging treatment to address even early signs of aging. Some patients, however, do not see the results they wish with Botox® or Dysport®. Xeomin® is the purest form of botulinum toxin A on the market, often treating those who do not see the results they want from other treatments more effectively.
What is Xeomin®?
In the cosmetic world, Xeomin® is an injectable to improve moderate-to-severe frown lines around the eyebrows. The neuromodulator is made with XTRACT Technology™, purifying the molecule botulinum toxin A by removing unnecessary proteins. Removing unnecessary proteins makes Xeomin® more effective for some patients, and results can last nearly a month longer than other neuromodulators on the market.
How Long Does Xeomin® Take to Work?
Xeomin results are not visible immediately. Most patients see results after three to seven days, depending on how their body processes the treatment. Results are long-lasting, some lasting over four months.
What Does Xeomin® Treat?
The cosmetic community primarily uses Xeomin® to treat frown lines on the upper face and for those who have become unresponsive to Botox®. Xeomin® is also used in the medical field to treat upper limb spasticity, cervical dystonia, blepharospasm, and chronic sialorrhea.
What is the Difference Between Xeomin®, Dysport®, and Botox®?
Xeomin® is the purest form of botulinum toxin A, meaning that it is less likely that a patient will experience an allergic reaction. It is ideal for patients with antibodies to Botox® or Dysport®. Xeomin® is also additive free, meaning it can be stored at room temperature. Most patients receive Xeomin® injections three to four times per year.
Dysport® is an adaptable formula, making it spread easier. The adaptability makes it ideal for smaller problems in broad areas. Most patients see results in about two to three days, and they last three to four months.
Botox® is the most famous of the three neuromodulators. It is currently FDA-approved for crow’s feet, glabellar lines, and forehead lines. Initial results surface three to five days after Botox® injections, lasting anywhere from three to four months.
Am I a Good Candidate for Xeomin®?
Candidates for Xeomin® are those wanting to reduce signs of aging in the eyebrows. Ideal candidates are in good overall health with no neuromuscular diseases or other conditions that could hinder the results.
Xeomin® is excellent for those who are unresponsive to Botox® or Dysport® or want slightly longer-lasting results. One of our expert providers will assess your concerns and discuss your goals to help you determine the best treatment option.
