Wrinkle treatment
Xeomin
Xeomin is a highly purified form of botulinum toxin, similar to Botox. However, unlike Botox, Xeomin undergoes a specialized manufacturing process that isolates the active botulinum toxin molecule and removes all surrounding proteins. This increased purity reduces the likelihood of developing antibodies that could render the treatment ineffective. Additionally, it’s clean molecular structure gives it the potential for faster onset and longer-lasting results compared to other botulinum toxin products.
How does Xeomin work?
Xeomin is an injectable treatment that temporarily reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It works by containing a neuromodulator that interrupts the signals between nerves and facial muscles, preventing them from contracting. This targeted muscle-blocking action helps smooth and soften wrinkles in the treated areas.

- Minimized appearance of skin imperfections

Can I use Xeomin instead of Botox?
Some people build up a resistance to the large Botox® molecule, causing it to become less effective over time. In such cases, Xeomin® can be an excellent alternative. Conveniently, the dosing units are identical, allowing for a seamless one-step conversion. A skilled injector can complete the procedure in just 10 minutes. The wrinkle reduction treatment delivers a more youthful appearance by temporarily smoothing forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet.

It’s essential that you notify your practitioner if you’ve received other kinds of injections in the three months prior to your appointment. Avoid using medicines, such as aspirin, ibuprofen and other drugs that thin the blood prior to your treatment. These may increase bleeding and bruising risks. Furthermore, be sure to tell your practitioner if you’re taking any allergy drugs, muscle relaxers or sleep aids.
With topical anesthetic, Xeomin injections can be virtually painless. Even without a numbing agent, pain is minimal, and you may only feel a little pinch. Injections are very quick and with a trained Bion injector, you may not even notice when they happen.
