Xeomin®
Xeomin®
(Superior Location ONLY)
Xeomin® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, commonly known as glabellar lines. As a neuromodulator, Xeomin® works by relaxing targeted facial muscles to smooth wrinkles and provide a rejuvenated appearance.
What Sets Xeomin® Apart?
Unlike other botulinum toxin products, Xeomin® is uniquely purified to contain only the active therapeutic component—botulinum toxin type A—without any accessory proteins. This naked formulation reduces the risk of developing antibodies that could diminish treatment effectiveness over time. Additionally, the absence of complexing proteins means Xeomin® does not require refrigeration before reconstitution, potentially offering greater convenience.
How Does It Work?
Xeomin® functions by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for triggering muscle contractions. When injected into specific facial muscles, it temporarily reduces their activity, leading to a smoothing of the overlying skin and a reduction in the appearance of frown lines.
The benefits of
Xeomin®
Xeomin® offers several advantages for individuals seeking to address glabellar lines:
- Purity: Free from unnecessary proteins, reducing the potential for antibody development.
- Efficacy: Clinically proven to effectively diminish the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines.

- No Downtime: Quick procedure with little to no recovery time, enabling a swift return to daily activities.
What to Expect Before Treatment
Before undergoing Xeomin® treatment, it is essential to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to discuss your medical history, aesthetic goals, and any concerns. During this consultation, your provider will assess the areas you’d like to address and determine if Xeomin® is the appropriate treatment for you.
It is advisable to disclose any medications you are taking, as well as any history of allergies or neurological conditions. To minimize the risk of bruising, you may be advised to avoid blood-thinning medications and alcohol in the days leading up to your appointment.
What to Expect During Treatment
On the day of your Xeomin® session, your provider will cleanse the targeted areas and may apply a topical anesthetic to ensure comfort. Using a fine needle, small amounts of Xeomin® will be injected into specific muscles between your eyebrows.
The procedure is relatively quick, often completed within 10 to 20 minutes, making it convenient for those with busy schedules. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, often described as a slight pinch.
Is Xeomin® Right for You?
Xeomin® is suitable for adults seeking to reduce the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. Ideal candidates are in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and are looking for a non-surgical solution to address signs of aging.
However, individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, have certain neurological conditions, or have allergies to any components of Xeomin® should avoid this treatment. A thorough consultation with a qualified provider will help determine if Xeomin® aligns with your aesthetic goals.
When Will I See Results?
Many patients notice improvements in their frown lines within three to four days after treatment, with full effects typically visible by 30 days. The results can last up to three months, varying based on individual factors such as muscle activity and metabolism. Regular maintenance sessions can help sustain the desired appearance.
Aftercare Tips
Proper aftercare is crucial to maximize the benefits of your Xeomin® treatment:
- Avoid Touching the Treated Area: Refrain from rubbing or massaging the injection sites for at least 24 hours to prevent the product from spreading to unintended areas.
- Stay Upright: Do not lie down or bend over excessively for four hours post-treatment to allow the product to settle properly.
- Skip Strenuous Activities: Avoid vigorous exercise for 24 hours, as increased blood flow may affect the results.
- Limit Sun Exposure: Protect your skin from excessive sun exposure, which can exacerbate swelling or bruising.
- Follow Provider Instructions: Adhere to any specific guidelines provided by your healthcare professional to ensure optimal outcomes.
