Xeomin Treatment: Wrinkle-Relaxing Cosmetic Injectables
Similar to other botulinum toxin products like Botox, Xeomin is an innovative solution for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Discover if this product is right for you, so you can start achieving more youthful skin today.
Understanding Xeomin Cosmetic Injections
Botulinum toxin products (Botox) are the most commonly-used treatments for crow’s feet, frown lines, and upper facial lines like forehead lines, but did you know that Xeomin offers unique benefits that similar options don’t?
Like Botox, Xoemin is an FDA-approved nervous system suppressant, helping to prevent muscles from contracting — a common cause of wrinkles over time. This process can also help prevent new wrinkles from forming.
However, unlike Botox, Xeomin’s only active ingredient is botulinum toxin type A. Free from any additional proteins or additives, you can expect a lower risk of antibody resistance.
The Benefits of Xeomin Cosmetic Injectables
Clients largely choose Xeomin injections for their unique benefits over traditional cosmetic procedures. This temporary treatment, administered by a professional healthcare provider, allows you to:
- Lower The Risk of Antibody Resistance With a formulation that includes only one active neurotoxin — free from both accessory proteins or additives — choosing Xeomin over Botox reduces the risk of your body developing neutralizing antibodies over time. The result: treatments remain more effective for longer.
- Remedy Dynamic Wrinkles By reducing muscle spasms and contractions near the injection site, Xeomin smooths the lines on your face caused by repetitive muscle movements and a loss of skin elasticity. Over time, your skin will start to appear softer and more youthful.
- Prevent New Wrinkle Formation Consistent Xeomin injections help slow down the development of new wrinkles by minimizing your muscles’ natural stress responses over time. This preventative approach helps you maintain smooth, youthful skin as you age.
- Enjoy a Quick, Non-Surgical Solution Unlike facelifts and other invasive cosmetic procedures, you can easily fit Xeomin treatments into your schedule. Be in and out in 10-20 minutes, achieving noticeable anti-aging benefits without the need for surgery, anesthesia, or extended recovery time.
- Achieve Fast Results with Minimal Downtime When you opt for Xeomin injections, noticeable improvements often appear within a few days and last 3-6 months. Additionally, most patients can return to their daily activities immediately after the procedure with little to no discomfort.
Understanding The Side Effects of Xeomin
While Xeomin’s purity allows it to be well-tolerated by most, every cosmetic injectable comes with potential side effects. Most are mild and temporary, but rare, life-threatening side effects are possible.
The most common side effects include redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. Some patients may also experience a sore throat, muscle weakness, or mild trouble breathing, but these symptoms are uncommon.
In rare cases, botulinum toxin products can cause serious complications for those with cervical dystonia or upper limb spasticity. Always disclose your full medical history with your provider beforehand. Our trained specialists at Lifestyle Med Spa carefully assess your health history to minimize risks and deliver safe, effective results.
Preparing For Your Xeomin Treatment
If you’re thinking about investing in Xeomin injections, knowing how to prepare will help you achieve the best possible results. We recommend following these steps to determine if treatment is right for you:
Disclose Medical Conditions
Always share your full medical history with your provider. Individuals with muscle or nerve conditions such as myasthenia gravis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or limb spasticity should avoid treatment. Also inform your provider about any asthma symptoms, urinary incontinence, breathing problems, or chronic migraines, as these may be affected by Xeomin.
Be Aware of Allergic Reactions
reactions to Xeomin are rare, and typically non-threatening, but you should still inform your practitioner of any allergies you may have.
Be Aware of Medication Interactions
Notify your practitioner if you’re taking any medications, especially blood thinners or antibiotics. Aminoglycosides are particularly dangerous and can lead to muscle weakness or paralysis when paired with Xeomin treatments.
Discuss Previous Surgeries
Inform your provider of any facial surgeries you’ve had in the past, as any changes to your skin and facial muscles can impact the results.
Avoid During Pregnancy or Breastfeeding
Xeomin is not considered safe during pregnancy or while producing breast milk, as the effects on the infant are unknown.
At Lifestyle Med Spa, our dedicated healthcare professionals are here to ensure your Xeomin treatment is safe and effective.
What To Expect From Cosmetic Injectable Treatments
Step 1: Consultation and Assessment
To ensure your Xeomin treatment is as safe and effective as possible, we begin with an initial consultation. During this appointment, our specialists will assess your skin concerns, discuss your goals, and determine the right treatment frequency and duration.
Step 2: Injection Site Preparation
Once you arrive on the day of your appointment, the treatment area will be cleansed. Then, a numbing cream is applied for added comfort.
Step 3: Injection Process
Using a precise needle, our healthcare professionals inject small amounts of Xeomin into targeted muscles. This process typically takes only 10-20 minutes, and most patients experience minimal discomfort.
Step 4: Post-Treatment Care
After the injections, you may experience mild redness or swelling. These side effects usually subside within a few hours. Avoid touching or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours.
Step 5: Results and Follow-Up
Your initial results will begin to appear within 3-5 days, with full effects visible in about 7-10 days. Results typically last 3-4 months, and maintenance treatments can be scheduled to maintain your desired look.
