Overview

What is Xeomin?

Xeomin is an injectable neurotoxin, specifically botulinum toxin type A, that targets the facial muscles responsible for creases and wrinkles. It works by blocking the nerve signals that cause these muscles to contract, allowing the skin to smooth out and offer a more youthful appearance. This treatment is popular for those who are looking for quick, efficient solutions for signs of aging.

Xeomin vs. Botox

Why choose Xeomin over Botox? Xeomin is produced using a slightly different manufacturing process that involves removing surface proteins from the botulinum toxin, earning it the nickname of "naked Botox". The absence of these proteins makes it LESS LIKELY for you to build up a tolerance, which could make the treatment less effective over time.

If you've noticed that Botox isn't working as well for you anymore, or if you plan to have regular treatments for a long time, you might want to consider switching to Xeomin.

What Can Xeomin Treat?

Xeomin is most effective for dynamic wrinkles, meaning those that are caused by repeated facial expressions. These include:

  • Frown lines: These are the creases that can form between your eyebrows or around your mouth, making you appear older or more tired than you feel.
  • Crow's feet: These are the fine lines that sprout from the corners of your eyes, especially when you smile or squint, and can give away your age.
  • Forehead creases: These horizontal lines across the forehead can develop over time and may make you look perpetually worried or stressed.
  • Glabellar lines: Sometimes called "elevens," these vertical lines between the eyebrows also create the impression of looking worried or upset.

Before&After

Your Experience

What to Expect from
Your Xeomin
Session

Your experience with Xeomin starts with an initial consultation. During this meeting, a healthcare provider will assess your skin condition, discuss your aesthetic goals, and help you decide if Xeomin is the right treatment for you. This is also the perfect opportunity to ask questions and clarify any concerns you may have.

01

Treatment Day

Once it's determined that you're a good candidate for Xeomin, you'll schedule your treatment session. On the day of the appointment, you'll arrive at the clinic and go through a brief check-in process.

The healthcare provider will then cleanse the treatment area and mark the injection points.

The Appointment
02

The Injections

The Xeomin injections themselves take only a few minutes and are administered with a fine needle to minimize discomfort. You may feel a slight pinch or pressure as the solution is injected, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated.

After all the injections are complete, you'll be given aftercare instructions to ensure the best possible results.

Quick & Comfortable

Recovery & aftercare. Shortly after the treatment, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, but these symptoms usually subside within a few days. A follow-up appointment is often recommended to assess your results and decide if additional treatments are necessary. Overall, the Xeomin treatment is a straightforward process designed to help you achieve a more youthful appearance with minimal downtime.

Where do you provide Xeomin treatments?

SkinOvation Advanced Aesthetics offers Xeomin treatments at our Arden, NC location, close to Asheville, Waynesville, and Hendersonville. We proudly serve clients throughout Buncombe and Henderson counties, making it easy for you to access exceptional care.

Does Xeomin have any side effects?

Yes, Xeomin can have side effects, though they are generally mild and temporary. Common side effects include redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, which usually subside within a few days.

What's the difference between Xeomin and Botox?

The primary difference between Xeomin and Botox lies in their formulation. Xeomin is purified to remove extra proteins, making it less likely for you to develop a resistance to the treatment. Botox contains these proteins and is often used for a broader range of cosmetic and medical conditions.

Can I combine Xeomin with fillers?

Yes, it's possible to combine Xeomin with dermal fillers for enhanced results. While Xeomin targets dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement, fillers add volume to static wrinkles and folds. Consult your healthcare provider to tailor a treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.

How long does Xeomin last?

The effects of Xeomin usually last for about 3–6 months. The duration can vary depending on individual factors such as metabolism and the area treated. A follow-up appointment is often recommended to assess when additional treatments may be needed.
