Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved injectable neurotoxin used to temporarily relax muscles, thereby reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles caused by facial expressions. It works similarly to BOTOX® and Dysport® but is known for its unique formulation. Xeomin is made from botulinum toxin type A and is free from complexing proteins, which distinguishes it from other neurotoxins. Our experienced professionals can answer all of your Xeomin questions.

How Does Xeomin Work?

Xeomin works by blocking the release of chemicals that cause muscle contractions, softening the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. It’s particularly effective for treating forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows. The purified nature of Xeomin means it's less likely to cause allergic reactions or resistance, making it a suitable option for a wider range of patients.

Xeomin treatment is popular because it offers multiple benefits, including:

A Xeomin treatment is quick and straightforward, typically taking about 10 to 20 minutes. The procedure involves injecting small amounts of the product into the targeted facial muscles. Discomfort is minimal and can be alleviated with a topical anesthetic if necessary. Recovery from Xeomin injections is usually swift, with minimal side effects. Patients might experience temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, which typically resolves quickly. It’s advised to avoid rubbing the treated area and to postpone strenuous activities for a short period after the procedure.

Xeomin is considered safe and effective for most adults. However, as with any injectable treatment, there are potential side effects, such as bruising, swelling, or temporary muscle weakness. It’s crucial to have Xeomin treatments performed by a qualified healthcare professional.
