As you age, your skin can begin to lose its elasticity. Because of this, lines are more likely to form, especially in the areas where the skin folds frequently due to facial expressions. One of the areas where these dynamic wrinkles can form is the space between the eyebrows. These lines, called glabellar lines, can be treated with an injectable called Xeomin. 

At Aspire Aesthetics in Hendersonville, TN, every decision that we make is always centered around our patients. We prioritize patient safety and outcome, and we use all of our knowledge to help you achieve beautiful and radiant skin. Xeomin is a unique product that is especially effective at treating frown lines. 

What Is Xeomin? 

Xeomin is a type of botulinum toxin type A injectable that is similar to other neuromodulators. However, it is a unique product that can be preferable for certain uses. As with other neuromodulators, Xeomin works by blocking nerve receptors. When injected, it binds to local nerve endings, preventing the release of neurotransmitters, which reduces muscle activity in the area. 

Because this reaction is highly targeted, it can be used to gently and subtly minimize muscle movement in the muscles between the eyebrows without restricting natural-looking movements. The result is skin that is free from wrinkles even when you make expressions such as frowning or squinting. 

What Is Xeomin Used For? 

While Xeomin can be used off-label for wrinkle reduction in other areas, its primary use is for frown lines between the brows. You can talk to your doctor during your consultation about additional cosmetic or medical uses for Botox. 

What Are the Benefits of Choosing Xeomin? 

Purity

Xeomin is often called the “naked” form of botulinum toxin type A. This formulation only includes the active ingredient without any other additives or accessory proteins. This can result in several different benefits for certain patients. First, those who have allergies to any of the additional ingredients found in other products may be able to use Xeomin instead. 

Additionally, patients who are worried about developing a tolerance to the medication, therefore rendering it less effective as time goes on, may also benefit from Xeomin. As a purified form, Xeomin is less likely to cause resistance to the product. 

Fast Acting

Xeomin can be a very fast-acting neuromodulator. You might start to see results a few days after treatments, with full results typically appearing within 30 days. If you are looking for a treatment that may be able to smooth out your lines and wrinkles quickly, you can talk to us about Xeomin.

Long-Lasting Wrinkle Treatment

All neuromodulators provide temporary results. However, with Xeomin, you can enjoy your results for several months before considering additional treatments. Typically, the treatment can last for up to three months, but it may be longer or shorter depending on the patient. 

How Is Xeomin Different From Botox? 

When comparing Xeomin vs. Botox, it is important to remember that both are good products that have specific uses within the cosmetic industry. We use and recommend both or either depending on what the patient is asking for and what concerns are being addressed. 

The main difference between Xeomin and Botox is the formulation. As mentioned before, Xeomin does not contain any additional proteins or other substances, making it a more naked form. Xeomin also does not have to be refrigerated or frozen, making it a convenient option for some situations. 

What Is Our Treatment Process Like? 

Your Xeomin Consultation 

Before beginning your treatment, you will be able to meet with us for a long consultation to discuss your concerns and your treatment options. We will ask about allergies, medical history, history of cosmetic treatments, and more. Then, we can plan the treatment area and go over any questions you have about the process. 

Your Xeomin Treatment

Before treating your frown lines or other wrinkles, we make sure your skin is clean and sanitized. Then, we will mark the points of injection based on your muscle movements and wrinkle locations. We may use a topical numbing solution to increase your comfort. Next, we will inject a small amount of Xeomin into each point. Appointments take less than 30 minutes and can fit easily into a lunch break. 

Your Xeomin Results

While you will be able to resume your normal activities, we will give you a list of instructions to care for your skin and your injection sites so that you can enjoy the best results from your treatment. Results won’t be apparent right away. However, after a few days, you should be able to see your wrinkles start to smooth as the muscles relax. 

You can enjoy the results of your treatment for several months. Once the motion starts to return, you can schedule another appointment with us. We will follow up with you and determine if you are ready for additional treatments. You can schedule several treatment sessions each year to maintain your results.
