Xeomin in Westchester, NY

What is Xeomin?

Xeomin is an FDA-approved injectable botulinum toxin type A that reduces the appearance of frown lines by relaxing the facial muscles. Xeomin’s formula is double-filtered using XTRACT technology. This unique process removes unnecessary proteins and only keeps the isolated therapeutic components of the neurotoxin to stimulate muscle stiffness spasms.

What is Xeomin Treatment Like?

The treatment time for botulinum toxin products like Xeomin is around 10 minutes. Before the injectable is administered, you might feel a small poke from the needle. Depending on the size of the treatment area, you should expect to receive around five pokes.

Recovery from Xeomin

For the first four to six hours after receiving Xeomin, you should avoid touching your face or engaging in strenuous or excessive movement, as this will help ensure the product stays in place. Tenderness, bruising, and other side effects of Xeomin, particularly around the injection site, are completely normal. Over-the-counter pain relief or ice packs can help ease discomfort in the affected muscles. Patients should weigh the risks and benefits before determining their treatment plan.

Who is a Candidate for Xeomin?

Although Xeomin is a doubled-filtered botulinum toxin product, which makes it purer than other injectables, patients with known allergic reactions to botulinum toxin do not qualify for treatment. If Xeomin is used to treat muscle stiffness spasms patients eperience difficulty breathing or notice symptoms getting worse notify your doctor right away.

Xeomin is great for patients with moderate to severe frown lines, as its clean formula smoothes out the appearance of wrinkles with greater efficacy than other injectables. Its quick treatment is a great option for those who want to see results with minimal recovery time and upkeep. Still not sure if Xeomin is right for you?
