XEOMIN
What Is Xeomin?
Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) is a prescription medication produced by Merz Aesthetics and approved by the FDA for treating moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. Like BOTOX, the active ingredient in Xeomin is botulinum toxin type A. It works by acting on the nerve endings to prevent muscle fibers from contracting and reduces the lines and wrinkles muscles contractions cause.
How Does Xeomin Differ from BOTOX?
Xeomin is the first injectable botulinum toxin type A product that does not need to be refrigerated. It contains no additives, which is believed to help avoid developing antibodies. The effects of Xeomin are visible within one week, and results can last from three to six months, which makes it comparable to BOTOX in terms of frequency of treatment.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING XEOMIN TREATMENT?
Treatment usually takes approximately 10 to 20 minutes. Our expert injector will apply Xeomin into the muscles causing frown lines and wrinkles. Although no anesthesia is required, a topical numbing cream or cold pack may be used to make your treatment more comfortable.
