  • Plump or augment your lips, and fill in lip lines
  • Straighten your jawline
  • Hide your jowls
  • Augment your chin

  • Create more defined cheekbones while lifting the rest of the face
  • Lift the eyebrows to look more awake

Xeomin

Like BOTOX® and Dysport®, Xeomin® uses botulinum toxin type A to block signals from the nerves to the muscles. When the nerves cannot communicate with the facial muscles, those muscles stop contracting, smoothing the dynamic lines and wrinkles that develop and deepen due to facial expressions. 

However, Xeomin stands out among other neuromodulators through its unique, double-filtered formula that removes unnecessary proteins, purifying the injectable. 

Why Does Xeomin’s Reduced Ingredient List Matter? 

Often, patients who use products like Botox or Dysport for years become desensitized to the treatments, leading injections to become less effective. Since Xeomin does not contain any extra proteins, it reduces the likelihood of developing resistance to the injections.

How Does Xeomin Compare to Other Neuromodulators?

Xeomin and Botox are equally potent, so patients switching from Botox to Xeomin will use the same number of units for their treatment. Both Botox and Xeomin are three times more concentrated than Dysport. 

While Dysport’s reduced concentration allows it to diffuse more easily and treat larger treatment areas, Xeomin’s consistency matches Botox, which is better suited for treating precise areas. 

What Areas Can I Treat with Xeomin?

Xeomin is FDA-approved to treat horizontal forehead lines and the glabellar lines between the eyebrows. 

Because Xeomin ceases the movement of targeted facial muscles, Xeomin treatments offer the added benefits of preventing new lines from forming and delaying current dynamic wrinkles from becoming permanent, static wrinkles. 

Your Consultation With Dr. Nima

When you come in for your consultation on fillers, Dr. Nima will carefully go over the troublesome areas you wish to improve, determine if the use of fillers will satisfactorily address them and set reasonable expectations for the results.

Once numbing cream and ice packs are applies, Dr. Nima uses state-of-the-art micro-cannulas for filler injections in order to minimize discomfort, bruising (hardly any) and swelling after the procedure. This specialized technique is particularly helpful for our patients taking blood thinning medications as it practically eliminates any bruising!

The Recovery Process

There is virtually no downtime with Xeomin, and very few side effects, so that you can immediately return to your normal routine. And, the results can last anywhere from 12 – 18 months, with some injectables even having semi-permanent results! Of course, we always recommend that to extend your results, you should combine any injectable procedures with ongoing skin treatments and use of nourishing skincare products.
