Xeomin
What is Xeomin?
One of the most noticeable effects of aging is the presence of unwanted wrinkles and lines. Now, you can smooth and soften years of aging in just one appointment with Xeomin. Men and women in the Baltimore, Towson, and Columbia areas looking for treatment with Xeomin can trust Maryland Center for Facial Plastic Surgery for all their cosmetic needs.
Xeomin is an injectable treatment from Merz Aesthetics specifically used on the forehead to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines. The unique formula in Xeomin contains incobotulinum toxin A, blocking the release of chemicals that cause wrinkle-producing muscle contractions, leaving your expression relaxed and youthful.
What Can Be Treated with Xeomin?
Xeomin is an effective treatment of dynamic wrinkles caused when the facial muscles create folds in the skin.
Like other injections of botulinum toxin type A, the active ingredient, this cosmetic treatment targets a wide range of aesthetic concerns such as forehead lines for a rejuvenated appearance.
- Glabellar lines (frown lines between the eyebrows)
- Forehead wrinkles
- Appearance of Crow’s feet (lines around the eyes)
- Fine facial lines and wrinkles
- Facial asymmetry caused by muscle contractions
- Bunny lines (lines on the nose)
- Marionette lines (lines from the corners of the mouth to the chin)
- Chin dimpling or “peau d’orange”
- Platysmal bands (vertical neck bands)
- Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) in the underarms
What are the Benefits of Xeomin?
Beyond delivering smooth skin, there are numerous benefits to those looking to maintain a youthful appearance with quick and convenient treatment.
Effective Wrinkle Reduction: The injection is highly effective at reducing the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet for a period of time, resulting in smoother, younger-looking skin.
Natural-Looking Results: Provides natural-looking results by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for wrinkles without affecting the overall facial expression. This helps individuals achieve a more refreshed appearance without looking “frozen” or overly treated.
Long-Lasting Effects: While individual results may vary, the effects typically last for several months, providing patients with long-lasting improvement in their facial appearance with a single treatment appointment.
Quick and Convenient Treatment: Botulinum toxin injections are quick, typically taking only about 10 to 20 minutes to administer. There’s virtually no recovery time, allowing patients to resume their daily activities immediately after treatment.
Purified Form Without Accessory Proteins: With repeated injections of Botox, patients may notice a decline in muscle weakness due to the body’s immune response. Switching to Xeomin can help mitigate this issue as it is formulated with a purified neurotoxin, without additional proteins, resulting in a lower risk of antibody formation.
What Can I Expect from My Xeomin Treatment?
The treatment is delivered through small injections targeting muscles responsible for the unwanted facial wrinkles. The treatments are simple and quick with minimal discomfort. You may feel a slight pinch during treatment, but a topical anesthetic or ice pack may improve comfort for those with sensitive skin or concerns about discomfort.
You should notice the results within a couple of days after treatment with full results taking effect in a couple of weeks. Natural facial expressions will remain after treatment with the appearance of wrinkles softened and you will look like yourself but with noticeable improvement in your skin and youthful appearance.
The results typically last between three to six months.
Am I a Good Candidate for Xeomin?
The injectable is a powerful anti-aging treatment that can help regain your youthful look. This quick and relatively painless treatment can smooth wrinkles and lines, giving you confidence in your appearance. Additionally, the procedure can be combined with dermal fillers for further rejuvenation.
It’s important to note that repeated injections over time are necessary for maintaining results and preventing deep lines from forming.
Xeomin cosmetic injections may not be suitable if you:
- have had allergic reactions to other forms of botulinum toxin products
- are currently breastfeeding or pregnant
- have an active skin infection in the treatment area
- take muscle relaxants or blood thinners
During your initial consultation, Dr. Hahn will discuss any medical conditions you may have, your facial anatomy, and your goals to determine if this treatment option is right for you.
