Xeomin injections
Xeomin
Xeomin is a form of botulinum toxin type A (incobotuinumtoxinA) that is very similar to Botox. Unlike Botox, Xeomin is manufactured through a unique and precise process that isolates the botulinum toxin molecule and removes all extra surrounding proteins.
Because Xeomin is a more purified and clean molecule, it has a potential advantage of lessening the chance of developing resistant antibodies against the botulinum toxin – thus rendering the product ineffective.
Furthermore, because of Xeomin’s pure toxin, it has the potential to work faster and last longer.
Can I use Xeomin instead of Botox?
For clients who are interested in an alternative to Botox®, then Xeomin® is your answer! Sometimes, patients may develop an immunity to the large Botox® molecule and may find that Botox® may not last as long. If that is the case, Xeomin® may be a perfect alternative. One good thing is that the dosing units we use is exactly the same so we will be able to convert you from Botox® to Xeomin® in one simple step. Xeomin® is a simple procedure performed in about 10 minutes that provides a more youthful look by the temporary elimination of forehead lines and wrinkles, frown lines, and crows feet wrinkles.

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.
If you’re unhappy with the way wrinkles or fine lines are affecting your appearance, Xeomin may be able to help. It’s your choice to determine if Xeomin is the ideal treatment for you.
