Xeomin

an FDA-approved injectable neurotoxin used to temporarily smooth moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles, most notably frown lines (glabellar lines) between the eyebrows. Unlike competitors like Botox, Xeomin is often called a "naked" neurotoxin because its manufacturing process removes accessory proteins, leaving only the active ingredient.Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) is

What It Does

Xeomin works by blocking nerve signals to the targeted muscles.

• Muscle Relaxation: By preventing muscle contractions, it allows the overlying skin to relax and smooth out, reducing the appearance of "dynamic" wrinkles caused by expressions like frowning or squinting.
• Purity Advantage: Its purified formulation may reduce the risk of antibody resistance, a condition where the body stops responding to other neurotoxins over time.
• Timeline: Initial smoothing often begins within 3–4 days, with full results appearing around day 14. Effects typically last 3–4 months.

Ideal Candidates

Xeomin is suitable for healthy adults (18+) looking for non-surgical facial rejuvenation.

• Primary Concerns: Individuals with moderate-to-severe frown lines, forehead wrinkles, or crow's feet.
• Special Considerations: It is a strong alternative for those who have become resistant to other botulinum toxin products.
• Contraindications: You should not use Xeomin if you are:Pregnant or breastfeeding.
  Allergic to botulinum toxin or any ingredients (like human albumin).
  Suffering from neuromuscular disorders (e.g., ALS, myasthenia gravis).
  

Essential Aftercare

Post-treatment care is critical to prevent the toxin from spreading to unintended muscles and to minimize bruising.

• Upright Position: Remain upright and avoid lying down or bending over for 4–6 hours after the procedure.
• Avoid Pressure: Do not rub, massage, or apply pressure to the treated area for at least 24 hours. This includes avoiding hats or tight headbands.
• Activity Restrictions:Wait 24 hours before resuming strenuous exercise.
  Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications (like ibuprofen) for 24 hours to reduce bruising.
  Postpone other facial treatments (like chemical peels or facials) for at least 24 hours.
  
• Heat Exposure: Avoid high heat environments like saunas, steam rooms, or direct sun exposure for 24–48 hours.
