What Are Xeomin Injections?

Xeomin (or incobotulinumtoxinA) is a type of neurotoxin injection made from botulinum toxin type A. This injectable is extracted from the Clostridium botulinum bacteria. Xeomin only uses a small dosage of the neurotoxin that’s injected into the facial muscle, which makes it safe for medical and cosmetic treatments. This injectable blocks the nerve signals responsible for muscle movement, causing it to relax.

By blocking these nerve endings, we can temporarily stop muscle contraction that causes deep creases and wrinkles in the treatment areas. Dynamic wrinkles appear on the skin because of repeated muscle movement over the years as you age. When the muscle fibers underneath the skin are relaxed, they don’t crease the surface of the skin, resulting in softer skin with less visible lines.

Aging is inevitable, and with it comes the dreaded fine lines, wrinkles, and other kinds of dynamic wrinkles. You can reduce the appearance of these signs of aging within just 2 weeks of Xeomin injections. What remains is smoother skin that can make you look and feel younger.

Xeomin Vs. Botox: What’s The Difference?

Xeomin is dubbed as the “naked Botox” because it’s a pure formulation of the botulinum toxin injections. Unlike Botox injections that have accessory proteins, Xeomin delivers the neurotoxin and erases facial wrinkles without the need for additives.

The purified composition of Xeomin prevents patients from developing antibody resistance to the neurotoxin, a problem that’s been observed in patients who get neurotoxin injections for a long time. This is good news for patients who opt for maintenance neurotoxin treatments after having experienced effective injections when they first had it.

Additionally, Xeomin by Merz Pharma doesn’t require refrigeration before use but Botox by Allergan does. This trivial fact makes Xeomin more accessible than Botox cosmetic injections.

Although Botox and Xeomin are two similar neurotoxin injections used for eliminating fine lines and wrinkles, they shouldn’t be used interchangeably. Consulting with an experienced aesthetician like Dr. Lanna Aesthetics can help you decide which botulinum toxin product works best for you.

Why We Recommend Xeomin for You

Xeomin is one of the FDA-approved botulinum injections that make the persistent frown lines and wrinkles around your face disappear. Signs of aging like fine lines and facial wrinkles are inevitable for all, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with it for the rest of your life. Instead of drastic and invasive plastic surgery treatments, you might want to opt for Xeomin injections instead. This non-surgical procedure offers effective results to restore your wrinkle-free and younger-looking appearance.

Xeomin injections work best for patients who want to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles caused by muscle movement. Dr. Lanna Aesthetics can administer Xeomin into the following dynamic wrinkles:

• Crow’s Feet – these are the lines that form on the corners of the eyes
• Forehead Lines – the long, horizontal lines across the forehead
• Glabellar Frown Lines – known as glabellar lines or vertical forehead lines, these dynamic wrinkles are often found between the eyebrows
• Smile Lines – also known as laugh lines, these are the vertical lines that start from the sides of the nose and continue around the chin
• Marionette Lines – the vertical lines from the corners of the mouth down to the chin
• Bunny Lines – the lines along the upper part of the nose

Aside from aesthetic treatments, Xeomin is also an effective injectable that helps treat some medical conditions like:

• Cervical dystonia
• Excessive sweating
• Upper limb spasticity
• Blepharospasm
• Chronic sialorrhea

Benefits of Xeomin Injections

Botulinum toxin injections like Xeomin are popular among aesthetic patients in the United States because they help improve the patient’s appearance without the need for plastic surgery. They’re safe, effective, and – in the hands of experienced providers like Dr. Lanna Aesthetics – produces stunning results. Some of the best benefits you can enjoy with your Xeomin treatments are:

• Reduced appearance of different signs of facial aging. Xeomin can effectively soften the appearance of severe frown lines and facial lines without going through surgical procedures like a facelift.
• Quick treatments with minimal downtime. Getting your Xeomin injections only takes less than an hour. There’s also no long downtime or serious side effects to worry about. Most patients even resume their daily activities within the same day as their treatment session.
• Can be combined with most minimally invasive treatments. Dynamic wrinkles are only one of the many signs of aging that you should be worried about. Luckily, this treatment is safe enough to be combined with other aesthetic procedures recommended by Dr. Lanna Aesthetics to achieve your beauty goals.

Your Xeomin Experience

Getting Xeomin for your fine lines and facial wrinkles is a quick and easy procedure. Prior to your Xeomin treatment session, you’ll have an initial consultation with Dr. Lanna Aesthetics about everything you need to know about the treatment: how it works, are you qualified for it, and what results to expect. From there, Dr. Lanna Aesthetics creates a personalized treatment that helps you achieve your aesthetic goals.

During the procedure, we apply a topical anesthetic to the injection site to help minimize the pain and discomfort you might feel. Once the numbing cream has taken effect, Dr. Lanna Aesthetics will inject the right amount of Xeomin into the strategic treatment areas.

And that’s it – a quick and easy aesthetic procedure that only takes less than 30 minutes. Visible improvements in the treated sites usually start showing 2 weeks after the treatment.

Aftercare Tips

Since Xeomin injections are minimally invasive, they don’t require a long downtime or recovery process. Most of our patients return to their daily schedule within the same day as the treatment. However, it’s important to follow Dr. Lanna Aesthetics aftercare instructions to help you get the best results while minimizing the risk of developing serious side effects. Here are a few important reminders to practice after the procedure:

• Don’t touch the treated area. Touching and putting pressure on the injection sites after the treatment might affect the results. There’s also a huge risk of transferring bacteria from the dirty hands to the face, causing a skin infection in the treatment area.
• Don’t lay down right after the treatment. Lying down increases the risk of accidentally spreading the neurotoxin injection into the surrounding facial muscles. There’s also the risk of falling asleep, pressing against, and rolling over the treated areas. Make sure to wait for at least 4 hours before lying down.
• Avoid strenuous activity. Exercises and other strenuous physical activities increase blood pressure, which puts you at risk of developing bruises near the treatment area. Most bruises take about 2 weeks to completely fade.
• Avoid heat exposure. This includes sun exposure, as well as hot environments like saunas and hot shows. The injected area might react with the heat, causing redness and irritation to show. It might also increase the blood flow on your face and promote bruising.

Myths About Xeomin, Debunked

1. Xeomin Injections Make You Look Stiff

You’ve probably already heard a horror story or two about people using neurotoxin injections and ending up looking stiff and frozen. But most of these stories are outdated – some of them aren’t even caused by the injectable itself. As long as you get injectable treatments from an experienced and reliable provider like Dr. Lanna Aesthetics, you can achieve natural-looking results to the point that no one will even notice you had Xeomin injections for your face.

2. Xeomin is Addictive

Xeomin doesn’t contain psychoactive ingredients, which is why it’s impossible to get addicted to the injection. This treatment only temporarily relaxes the facial muscle, requiring patients who enjoyed the results of the procedure to return for maintenance treatments every few months. You can stop getting additional Xeomin treatments without worrying about psychological withdrawal, but there’s a huge chance that you’ll develop dynamic wrinkles again.

3. Xeomin Injections Are Expensive

Xeomin injections are the more affordable option compared to plastic surgery for patients who want to regain their youthful appearance. These injectables cost about $8 to $18 per unit, depending on the provider. Xeomin cosmetic treatments aren’t usually covered by health insurance, so you have to prepare everything out of your own pocket.

4. Xeomin is Just for Women

With more men paying better attention to their appearance, medical spas and beauty clinics around the country have seen an increase in men who are looking for neurotoxin injections in recent years. Wrinkles and fine lines make men look older than their actual age, but men can opt for Xeomin treatments for a more approachable and younger appearance.

FAQs About Xeomin

Q: Can I use Xeomin to treat static wrinkles?

A: Yes, but they won’t be as effective as when Xeomin injections are used for dynamic wrinkles. Static wrinkles aren’t caused by muscle movement. They usually appear because of aging, loss of collagen and elastin in the skin, and external factors like gravity and sun damage. A dermal filler treatment works better for static wrinkles, but you can schedule a consultation with Dr. Lanna Aesthetics to learn more about other treatment options that can help you reach your beauty goals.

Q: How long do Xeomin results last?

A: Unfortunately, Xeomin is temporary and usually wears off around four months after the treatment session. The exact duration varies per patient, but following good aftercare, practices can help the results last longer. The good news is that maintenance treatments are safe and recommended for patients who enjoyed the results of their first Xeomin injection.

Q: Who shouldn’t get Xeomin injections?

A: Xeomin is generally a safe anti-aging alternative to plastic surgery, as long as you have good overall health and realistic expectations about the cosmetic treatment. However, you might not be a good candidate for this procedure if you:

• Had botulinum toxin injections recently
• Have a history of allergic reaction to Xeomin or other kinds of botulinum toxin products (like Botox, Jeuveau, or Dysport)
• Have plans to undergo surgery
• Have active skin infection or are taking medication for skin infections
• Have muscle or nerve conditions
• Are a pregnant or breastfeeding woman
• Are taking maintenance medicine that can affect your Xeomin injections

During your initial consultation, Dr. Lanna Aesthetics can determine if you are a qualified candidate for Xeomin injections. If not, we can recommend alternative aesthetic treatments that can help you achieve your beauty goals.
