Xeomin is a non-surgical temporary cosmetic treatment, that smooths forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet. Similar to Botox, Xeomin is a form of botulinum toxin type A. It is specifically designed to temporarily relax facial muscles, leading to a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Differences Between Xeomin and Botox
While both Xeomin and Botox are derived from botulinum toxin type A and serve similar purposes, there are a few key differences:
Purity: Xeomin contains only the active ingredient without any additives, which may reduce the risk of developing antibodies that can decrease effectiveness over time.
Onset and Duration: The onset of Xeomin’s effects is typically seen within 3 to 4 days, and the results can last from 3 to 6 months, similar to Botox.
Benefits of Xeomin
Minimal Downtime: The procedure is quick, usually taking about 10 to 20 minutes, and requires little to no downtime, allowing patients to resume their daily activities almost immediately.
Natural Results: Xeomin provides natural-looking results by targeting specific muscles, ensuring that facial expressions remain expressive and not “frozen.”
Safety: Approved by the FDA, Xeomin is considered safe for cosmetic use when administered by a qualified professional.
Ideal Candidates for Xeomin
Xeomin is suitable for adults who are looking to reduce the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines and other facial wrinkles. Ideal candidates are in good overall health and have realistic expectations regarding the outcomes of the treatment.
It is important to consult with a certified healthcare provider to discuss any concerns, review possible side effects and determine if Xeomin is the right treatment for you.
