XEOMIN®
As the years go by, our skin naturally begins to reflect the passage of time—fine lines, wrinkles, and expression lines that can make us appear older than we feel. Fortunately, Xeomin® offers an advanced, refined solution to maintain a youthful, smooth complexion without compromising your natural beauty.
When Will I See Results?
You should notice results within a few days, with full effects appearing around two weeks after the treatment.
How Long Do Results Last?
Xeomin® results typically last around three months. Regular treatments are advised to maintain a youthful, smooth appearance.
How Do I Prepare for My Xeomin® Appointment?
Avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements like aspirin and ibuprofen a few days before your appointment to minimize bruising.
What Should I Do After My Treatment?
- Stay Upright
Avoid lying down for at least four hours post-treatment.
- Avoid Heat
Steer clear of saunas and other heat sources for at least four hours.
- Don’t Touch
Refrain from touching or massaging the treated areas for 24 hours.
- Skip Strenuous Exercise
Avoid intense workouts on the day of your treatment.
What is Xeomin®?
Xeomin® is a highly purified form of botulinum toxin type A, expertly designed to temporarily relax the muscles responsible for creating dynamic wrinkles—those lines that form due to repetitive facial expressions. What sets Xeomin® apart from other neurotoxins is its “naked” formula, free from unnecessary additives. This purity ensures a focused and effective treatment, delivering precise results without the risk of resistance to treatment.
Target Concerns
Xeomin® is particularly effective in addressing several common signs of aging, including:
- Frown Lines: Softens the vertical lines between the eyebrows, often referred to as "11" lines.
- Forehead Wrinkles: Reduces horizontal lines that appear across the forehead, giving a smoother appearance.
- Crow's Feet: Minimizes the fine lines around the outer corners of the eyes, which are common with age.
Beyond Aesthetic Improvements
Xeomin® is also used to treat a variety of non-cosmetic issues:
- Excessive Sweating: Xeomin® can reduce excessive underarm sweating by targeting overactive sweat glands.
- Chronic Migraines: This treatment can help in preventing chronic migraines, offering relief to those suffering from frequent headaches.
- Jaw Tension (TMJ): Xeomin® can relieve discomfort associated with jaw tension.
Advantages
- Pure Formula: Xeomin® contains no unnecessary proteins or additives, which reduces the risk of developing resistance over time.
- Effective Wrinkle Reduction: Xeomin® smooths out fine lines and wrinkles, particularly on the forehead, around the eyes, and between the brows, restoring a youthful appearance.
- Quick and Convenient: Treatment sessions are typically completed within 15 to 25 minutes, making it an excellent option for those with busy schedules.
- No Downtime: You can resume your normal activities almost immediately after your treatment, making it a seamless addition to your skincare routine.
- Natural-Looking Results: Xeomin® provides subtle, yet noticeable improvements, avoiding the "frozen" look often associated with other treatments.
- FDA-Approved: Xeomin® is FDA-approved for cosmetic use, ensuring safety and efficacy in every treatment.
- Long-Lasting Effects: Results from Xeomin® can last several months, offering sustained wrinkle reduction and smoother skin.
What to Expect During Treatment
At AAFE Medspa, your Xeomin® treatment begins with a personalized consultation to discuss your goals and identify the best areas for injection. During the session, our skilled injector will administer the Xeomin® using a fine needle, targeting specific facial muscles. The procedure is relatively quick, typically taking about 15 to 25 minutes, with minimal discomfort. Post-treatment, you may notice some minor swelling or small red bumps at the injection site, but these usually clear up on their own within a few hours.
Who Should Consider Xeomin®?
Xeomin® is an excellent option for adults seeking to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and fine lines. It is especially beneficial for those who have developed resistance to other neurotoxins like Botox® due to the presence of antibodies. Xeomin® is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding or have certain medical conditions. We will carefully review your medical history to ensure that Xeomin® is safe and suitable for you.
