What is Xeomin?
Xeomin is a neurotoxin injectable that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for creating dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements such as smiling, frowning, or squinting. Like other botulinum toxin type A injectables, Xeomin blocks nerve signals to the muscles, preventing them from contracting and smoothing the overlying skin. What sets Xeomin apart from other neurotoxins, such as Botox or Dysport, is its unique formulation. Xeomin is considered a “naked” injectable, containing only the active botulinum toxin without additional proteins.
This purified composition offers several advantages. By removing the unnecessary proteins, Xeomin reduces the likelihood of the body developing antibodies to the treatment, which can sometimes occur with repeated use of other neurotoxins. This makes Xeomin an excellent option for patients using similar products for an extended period or who want to reduce the risk of resistance over time. Xeomin provides the same muscle-relaxing benefits as other botulinum toxins, helping to smooth out moderate to severe facial wrinkles while preserving natural facial expressions.
Xeomin is commonly used to treat glabellar lines (frown lines between the eyebrows), crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, and other areas with prominent dynamic wrinkles. Its precise formulation delivers consistent, natural-looking results, making it a popular choice for individuals seeking a refreshed, youthful appearance without worrying about being overly treated or "frozen."
