Xeomin
What It Is
Xeomin is a neuromodulator that works by relaxing facial muscles to soften dynamic wrinkles, primarily on the forehead. Like other neuromodulators in its class, it contains botulinum toxin but is formulated without complexing proteins, which some patients prefer. The injection takes just a few minutes and results develop gradually over one to two weeks.
Good Candidates
Xeomin works well for people with moderate forehead lines or wrinkles caused by facial movement. It suits those seeking a non-surgical option to smooth these areas. A qualified provider can assess your skin and goals to determine if Xeomin is right for you.
What to Expect
The procedure involves several small injections into the forehead using a fine needle. Most people describe mild discomfort, similar to a quick pinprick. The session typically takes 10 to 15 minutes, and you can return to normal activities immediately.
Results and Longevity
Visible softening of forehead lines typically appears within 3 to 7 days, with full results by two weeks. Effects last around 3 to 4 months on average. Repeat treatments maintain the results; some people find effects last slightly longer with regular sessions.
