As we age, collagen production in our skin naturally decreases, leading to a loss in elasticity and the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. This process is compounded by our constant facial movements daily, which contribute to developing more noticeable wrinkles and crow’s feet over time. Fortunately, there are treatments available that can help to mitigate these effects. One such treatment is Xeomin injections, a non-invasive procedure that can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and restore a more youthful appearance to the skin.
At Revive Wellness Group in Perrysburg, OH, we offer Xeomin injections as part of our anti-aging treatment options. Our team, led by Dr. Jessica Wilson-Sobb, MD, and Dr. Lisa Diekman, DNP, is dedicated to providing our patients with this safe and effective treatment. If you’re looking for a non-invasive way to improve your skin’s appearance, Xeomin may be right for you.
What Is Xeomin?
Xeomin is a neuromodulator that is primarily used for cosmetic purposes to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Its active ingredient is botulinum toxin type A, similar to Botox® and Dysport®. Xeomin works by inhibiting the release of neurotransmitters in muscles, specifically acetylcholine, which is responsible for muscle contractions. By temporarily paralyzing the targeted muscles, Xeomin can smooth out wrinkles and lines caused by repetitive facial expressions, such as crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles.
Benefits of Xeomin
- Non-Surgical: Xeomin provides a non-surgical alternative to achieve a more youthful appearance. Since Xeomin is administered via injections, no incisions, sutures, or scarring are associated with the procedure.
- Quick Treatment: Xeomin injections are typically quick, often taking less than 30 minutes.
- Minimal Downtime: Unlike surgical procedures, Xeomin does not require a lengthy recovery period, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles.
- Natural-Looking Results: Xeomin injections can produce a more natural appearance, with no “frozen” or overly dramatic look.
- Long-Lasting: The effects of Xeomin can last for several months, reducing the frequency of touch-up treatments.
- Minimal Discomfort: Xeomin injections are generally well-tolerated, and many providers use fine needles and topical numbing agents to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
- Preventative Use: Some people use Xeomin preventatively to slow down the development of wrinkles.
- Customizable: We can customize the treatment plan to address each patient’s unique concerns and desired results.
- Versatile Applications: Xeomin has both cosmetic and medical applications, making it a versatile treatment option.
Frequently Asked Questions About Xeomin
What is the difference between Xeomin and other botulinum toxin products like Botox and Dysport?
Xeomin, Botox, and Dysport all contain botulinum toxin type A, but they may have slight variations in formulation and dosing. The main difference is that Xeomin is “naked,” meaning it lacks complex proteins in the other products. Some individuals may prefer Xeomin due to the absence of specific proteins, which can reduce the risk of developing antibodies to the toxin.
How long does it take to see the full results of Xeomin?
While some people may see initial improvement within a few days, it often takes about seven to 14 days to see the full effects of Xeomin treatment. Patience is essential, as results can continue to improve during this time.
How long does Xeomin last?
The effects of Xeomin typically start to become noticeable within a few days to a week after treatment and can last for several months, generally around three to six months. The duration may vary from person to person.
How long does a Xeomin treatment session take?
The duration of a Xeomin treatment session can vary based on several factors, including the number of areas being treated and the provider’s experience. While the actual injection process often takes only 10 to 20 minutes, it’s crucial to account for the entire session.
Can Xeomin be combined with other treatments?
Xeomin can be combined with other cosmetic treatments like dermal fillers, laser therapy, or chemical peels to address multiple aspects of facial rejuvenation. We can discuss which treatments may be suitable for your goals.
Who is a good candidate for Xeomin?
A good candidate for Xeomin is typically an adult in generally good health who is bothered by the appearance of wrinkles or fine lines caused by muscle activity, such as forehead lines, frown lines, or crow’s feet. They should have realistic expectations about the treatment results and seek a non-surgical solution to address these cosmetic concerns. Xeomin may not be suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, people with certain neuromuscular disorders, or those with a known allergy to botulinum toxin products.
The most effective way to discern whether Xeomin is the proper treatment for you is through a consultation with us. During this consultation, we will ask you to disclose your complete medical history and any medications you may be taking to ensure that Xeomin is a safe and suitable option for you. With this information, we can determine if Xeomin treatment is the best route to achieve your desired results.
