What Is Xeomin?
Xeomin is a highly purified injectable treatment made from botulinum toxin type A. Unlike other neuromodulators, Xeomin undergoes a special purification process that removes unnecessary proteins or additives. This “naked” injectable works by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles to form when you frown, squint or smile. The result? A smoother, more youthful appearance without sacrificing the ability to express yourself naturally.
Benefits of Xeomin
- “Naked” neuromodulator with no accessory proteins or additives
- Less risk of allergic reactions and antibody resistance
- Quick treatments with no downtime or recovery
- Softens existing expression lines while preventing new ones from forming
- FDA-approved with clinical studies supporting its safety and effectiveness
- Can be easily combined with other rejuvenating treatments
How Does Xeomin Work?
When expertly injected into specific facial muscles, Xeomin blocks the release of a neurotransmitter (acetylcholine) that tells the muscles when to contract. It relaxes only the muscles that create unwanted lines and leaves the surrounding areas unaffected, allowing you to maintain your natural facial expressions. Xeomin treatments take just minutes to perform, require no anesthesia, and deliver results that typically last for up to four months. As the effects start to wear off, muscle activity gradually returns — at this point, follow-up treatments can be performed to help you maintain a refreshed appearance.
Xeomin Treatment Areas
- Frown lines (the “11s” between your eyebrows)
- Forehead wrinkles
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Bunny lines on the nose
- Perioral lines around the mouth
- Platysmal bands on the neck
- Chin dimpling
- Lip augmentation (the “lip flip”)
What to Expect During Treatment
Your Xeomin experience at Austin Skin & Wellness begins with a consultation to discuss your concerns and aesthetic goals. Then, your skill will be cleansed, and ice or numbing cream may be applied to ensure your comfort. Our skilled providers will ask you to make certain facial expressions, using an ultra-fine needle to inject a small amount of Xeomin into certain muscles. Each injection takes just a couple of seconds and feels like a small pinch, while the entire procedure can be completed in 15 minutes, making it perfect for a quick lunchtime treatment!
Is There Any Downtime or Recovery?
One of the key advantages of Xeomin is the minimal downtime following treatment. Most patients return to their normal activities right after their appointment. To maximize your results, we recommend avoiding intense physical activity for 24 hours, remaining upright for at least four hours post-treatment, and not rubbing or massaging the treated areas. You may notice slight redness or swelling at the injection sites, but these effects typically resolve quickly. Results begin to appear within three to four days, with full results visible after about a week.
