Understanding Xeomin

What is Xeomin?

Xeomin is a highly purified neurotoxin known generically as incobotulinumtoxinA. It is designed to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead wrinkles. Unlike other neurotoxin treatments, Xeomin does not contain any accessory proteins, making it a purer form of botulinum toxin type A. This can potentially reduce the risk of patients developing resistance to the treatment over time.

How Does Xeomin Work?

Xeomin works by targeting the nerve signals in the muscles responsible for creating facial expressions. By inhibiting these nerve signals, Xeomin effectively reduces muscle activity, leading to a smoother, wrinkle-free appearance. The effects of Xeomin are typically noticeable within a few days after treatment and can last anywhere from three to six months, depending on individual factors such as age and skin condition.

Benefits of Xeomin

Why Choose Xeomin?

One of the primary benefits of Xeomin is its high level of purity, which reduces the likelihood of an immune response that might diminish its effectiveness over time. Additionally, the results from Xeomin treatments tend to look very natural, as it only targets specific muscles, allowing the rest of your facial expressions to remain unaffected. This ensures that you’ll still look like yourself, just more youthful.

What to Expect During Treatment?

At Southern NP Wellness & Aesthetics, the Xeomin treatment process is straightforward and relatively quick. During your initial consultation, a certified practitioner will evaluate your facial structure and discuss your aesthetic goals. The actual injection process typically takes about 10-20 minutes, with minimal discomfort. Post-treatment, you can resume most of your usual activities, though it's advisable to avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for the first 24 hours.

Post-Treatment Care and Results

Maintaining Your New Look

Results from Xeomin can be seen within three to four days after the procedure, with the full effect visible in about seven to ten days. To maintain the benefits of Xeomin, regular follow-up treatments are recommended. The staff at Southern NP Wellness & Aesthetics will provide you with a personalized treatment plan to ensure your skin continues to look its best. With proper care, you can enjoy a smoother, more youthful appearance with minimal downtime.
