There are many different ways available for reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Among these options, injectable treatments stand out for their non-invasive nature and efficiency. At Pure Bella Aesthetic Boutique in Newman, GA, we offer a variety of these injectable solutions so we can treat patients according to their unique situations.
One injectable treatment we particularly favor is Xeomin. This product is celebrated for its pure formulation and its ability to deliver light and effective results without unnecessary ingredients. We value Xeomin for its ability to smooth out facial lines with precision, providing our patients with a refreshed and natural look.
What Is Xeomin?
Xeomin is an injectable neurotoxin, similar but not identical to Botox®, used in the field of cosmetic dermatology. It contains botulinum toxin type A, which temporarily relaxes facial muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Xeomin has a unique formulation that can make it particularly suitable for patients who want to avoid certain ingredients, prevent resistance to neuromodulators, or achieve a particularly natural-looking result.
Xeomin’s Method of Action
When Xeomin is injected into the muscles, it blocks the release of chemicals that cause muscle contraction, leading to a reduction in dynamic wrinkles because the skin is no longer wrinkling or folding due to muscle movement. The onset of action is not immediate but is relatively fast, and the effects can last several months. This treatment targets the muscular signals directly, but the medication wears off over time, which allows for a smoother and more relaxed facial appearance without permanent results.
What Is Xeomin Used For?
Primarily, Xeomin injections are used to smooth out the lines and wrinkles that form between the eyebrows. These are often referred to as frown lines, and they can appear different for everyone. Some people have two lines, called “11’s,” while others may have more or less. These lines result from the contraction of muscles near the eyebrows that are used to frown or squint.
What Are Some of the Benefits of Xeomin?
- Minimal Downtime After Treatments: Patients appreciate the minimal downtime associated with a Xeomin treatment. After receiving injections, most can resume their daily activities immediately. Xeomin is an attractive option for those seeking cosmetic enhancements without significant interruption to their schedules.
- Natural-Looking Results: Xeomin is designed to offer natural-looking enhancements by relaxing facial muscles rather than freezing them completely. This subtlety keeps expressions genuine while reducing the visibility of wrinkles and lines. You can expect a refreshed appearance without the telltale signs of having had work done.
- Fast-Acting and Long-Lasting: While it is uncommon to find treatments that are both quick to show results and long-lasting, Xeomin is a neuromodulator that meets these criteria. It offers both a swift onset and longevity, giving patients timely improvements so they can refresh their appearance for special events without the wait and then enjoy results for some time before scheduling another treatment.
- Comfortable Treatments: Xeomin injections are comfortable because of how small the needles are that are used to inject the medication. Along with small needles, the experience of our injectors also leads to a more comfortable experience. Patients usually only notice a small pinch with each injection that is short-lived and tolerable.
FAQs About Xeomin
Typically, the effects of a Xeomin treatment last between three and five months. If you have stronger muscles or a very fast metabolism, you may notice that the duration is on the shorter end of the spectrum. However, other factors such as a healthy lifestyle and proper protection from the sun can help your results to last longer. Patients may plan for follow-up treatments to maintain their desired look once they notice the effects beginning to diminish.
Patients often start to see improvements from their Xeomin treatment within a few days. However, it usually takes up to 30 days to observe the full effects. This timeline allows the neuromodulator to fully relax the targeted muscles and smooth out wrinkles. Full results are often seen more quickly in patients who have regular treatments.
Both Xeomin and Botox are effective neuromodulators that we use often in our cosmetic treatments. One key distinction of Xeomin is its pure or “naked” formulation, which causes the active ingredient to be more isolated and keeps out any excess ingredients. It is less likely to cause resistance due to the absence of accessory proteins. We use both treatments at our clinic, selecting each based on specific patient goals and what fits best with their situation.
Repeat Xeomin injections are typically recommended every three to five months. This schedule keeps the muscles relaxed and maintains the smooth appearance of the treated area. However, the exact frequency can vary based on individual responses and treatment objectives.
Ideal candidates for Xeomin treatments are adults who wish to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines and crow’s feet. Suitable patients should have realistic expectations and no known allergies to the ingredients of the neuromodulator. A consultation can determine if Xeomin is the right option for an individual’s cosmetic goals.
A Xeomin treatment session is quick, usually completed within minutes, and involves minimal discomfort. It consists of a series of small injections into the targeted muscles, often five along the brow line, depending on what your injector recommends.
