Fine lines and wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process, but many people seek ways to reduce their appearance for a more youthful, refreshed look.
If you’re exploring non-surgical options to smooth out wrinkles, Xeomin is one of the most popular treatments available. This neurotoxin injectable is widely used to address common concerns like frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles—but what exactly does Xeomin do, and how does it work?
In this blog, we’ll take a closer look at what Xeomin is, how it works, and why it’s a popular choice at True Jewel Cosmetic Center for achieving smoother, younger-looking skin.
What Is Xeomin?
Xeomin is an FDA-approved injectable made from botulinum toxin type A, the same active ingredient found in other popular wrinkle relaxers like Botox and Dysport.
However, what sets Xeomin apart is its pure formulation. Unlike other neurotoxins, Xeomin doesn’t contain any additives or unnecessary proteins. This purity may reduce the risk of developing resistance over time, ensuring consistent and reliable results.
How Does Xeomin Work?
As we age, repeated facial expressions like smiling, frowning, or squinting cause dynamic wrinkles to form. Xeomin works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for these wrinkles. When injected into targeted areas, Xeomin blocks the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that signals muscles to contract. By preventing these muscle contractions, Xeomin helps to smooth out the skin and reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
What Does Xeomin Treat?
Xeomin is primarily used to address dynamic wrinkles—those that form due to repeated muscle movement. Some of the most common treatment areas include:
Frown lines (glabellar lines): The vertical lines that develop between the eyebrows from repeated frowning or squinting.
Forehead lines: Horizontal wrinkles that form across the forehead due to raising the eyebrows.
Crow’s feet: Fine lines that appear around the outer corners of the eyes, typically caused by smiling or squinting.
As well as treating facial wrinkles, Xeomin can also be used for other cosmetic concerns like:
Bunny lines: Wrinkles that appear on the sides of the nose when smiling.
Downturned corners of the mouth: Xeomin can help relax the muscles that pull the corners of the mouth downward, creating a more youthful expression.
Chin dimpling: By relaxing the muscles in the chin, Xeomin can smooth out a bumpy or “orange peel” texture.
The Xeomin Treatment Process at True Jewel Cosmetic Center
At True Jewel Cosmetic Center, we tailor every Xeomin treatment to your unique needs. Here’s what you can expect during your Xeomin experience:
Consultation
Your treatment begins with a thorough consultation, during which our skilled practitioners assess your skin, review your aesthetic goals, and determine the best areas to treat with Xeomin. We’ll take the time to understand your concerns and provide a personalized treatment plan designed to achieve natural-looking results.
Preparation
Before your injections, the treatment areas will be cleaned, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
Injection
Using a fine needle, Xeomin will be carefully injected into the targeted muscles. The entire process typically takes around 15-30 minutes, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
Aftercare
After your Xeomin treatment, you may experience mild redness or swelling at the injection sites, but these side effects should subside within a few hours to a couple of days. We’ll provide you with aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results, including avoiding strenuous activity and excessive sun exposure for the first 24-48 hours.
When Will You See Results?
One of the benefits of Xeomin is that results can appear fairly quickly. You may start to notice smoother skin within 3-4 days after treatment, with full effects becoming visible within 7-10 days. The results of Xeomin typically last around 3 to 6 months, depending on individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle. To maintain your desired look, we recommend scheduling regular follow-up treatments.
Why Choose Xeomin?
There are several reasons why Xeomin is a popular choice for patients seeking wrinkle reduction:
Pure formulation: Xeomin’s lack of additional proteins reduces the risk of your body developing resistance to the treatment, potentially allowing for more predictable and long-lasting results.
Natural-looking outcomes: Xeomin works to smooth wrinkles without causing a “frozen” appearance, so your facial expressions remain natural.
Minimal downtime: Xeomin treatments are quick, convenient, and require little to no recovery time, allowing you to return to your daily activities shortly after the procedure.
