About Xeomin®

Overview

Also known as incobotulinumtoxinA, Xeomin is a neurotoxin that functions similarly to injectables like Botox and Dysport but lacks additives, making it a pure and “naked” injectable. This purity appeals to patients concerned about additives and those who believe it may have a lower risk of resistance over time.

Advantages

Xeomin provides a natural and long-lasting solution for reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Its additive-free composition may reduce the risk of resistance over time, appealing to those seeking a purer treatment option.

Xeomin is particularly suitable for individuals who have developed a resistance to conventional Botox or for those seeking a long-term treatment strategy while aiming to prevent resistance development.

The gradual onset of Xeomin results in a natural appearance, with effects typically becoming noticeable within three to seven days and reaching full potential within 30 days. This gradual process ensures a subtle transformation over time.
What to Expect
The process of Xeomin treatment is straightforward and closely resembles the procedure for most injectable treatments. The initial consultation involves the provider assessing and recommending the appropriate units for the injection areas. If there is a history of previous neurotoxin treatments and the results with other neurotoxins are no longer effective, it is advisable to provide information about past injection history. Xeomin may be a suitable alternative in such cases, as the body may be reacting to additives present in other neurotoxins.
 
Xeomin typically shows within a few days of treatment but may take up to 30 days for full effect.
 
The duration of Xeomin’s effects typically lasts around three months for most individuals. However, it is crucial to acknowledge that individual outcomes may vary, and the effectiveness of Xeomin may differ in terms of duration for each person.
 
When the effects of Xeomin begin to diminish, a follow-up session can be scheduled to uphold the smooth and youthful appearance of the skin.
 
However, it’s important to note that if your results aren’t lasting 3-4 months your dose may need to be increased.
Recovery

Post-treatment care for Xeomin is similar to other neurotoxins:

  • Avoid rubbing the injection sites.
  • Stay upright for a few hours.
  • Avoid strenuous activities for at least a day.
