XEOMIN® Cosmetic Injectable in Charlotte

Medically reviewed by Dr. Richard Paul Greenberg on 4/25/24

If stubborn wrinkles and lines are affecting your self-confidence, it’s time to explore the rejuvenating potential of XEOMIN®.

One of many cosmetic injectables offered at Ageless Remedies SouthPark Med Spa in Charlotte, NC, XEOMIN® is a prescription medication made using botulinum toxin A, similar to Botox. When injected into facial muscles, Xeomin acts on nerve endings to prevent the muscle fibers from contracting. Reducing these contractions smooths creases and folds, giving you a brighter, more youthful appearance.

Treatments are fast and effective, providing visible results starting within three to four days. Plus, there is minimal downtime. That means you can resume your usual activities while looking and feeling your very best.

Benefits of Xeomin Cosmetic Injectable

Xeomin injections are a convenient, non-surgical solution for achieving a radiant glow. Key benefits include:

  • Natural Aesthetic: Xeomin allows healthcare professionals to smooth problem areas without affecting surrounding muscles. This gives patients a bright, natural look that isn’t “plastic” or “overdone.”
  • Quick, Long-Lasting Effects: Thanks to its advanced formula, Xeomin offers quick results, starting in as little as three to four days. Plus, results tend to last for three to six months.
  • Minimally Invasive: XEOMIN offers a non-surgical alternative to cosmetic procedures, allowing you to achieve your aesthetic goals without undergoing painful procedures and lengthy recoveries. Even better, treatment sessions can take as little as 5 minutes.
  • FDA-Approved: After extensive clinical trials, Xeomin is FDA-approved for the treatment of moderate to severe glabellar lines (frown lines between the eyebrows). That means this product has met stringent safety and efficacy standards. We also use it for the forehead and crow’s feet lines.

Xeomin for Specific Concerns

Xeomin injections can make you look more youthful by reversing various signs of aging, including:

Xeomin for facial wrinkles

As we age, our skin’s natural collagen production decreases, leading to skin creases and folds. Fortunately, Xeomin effectively smooths persistent wrinkles by temporarily relaxing the underlying facial muscles. In return, you can rejuvenate your skin and restore your confidence without the pain and cost of surgical intervention.

Xeomin for frown lines

Frown lines, also known as glabellar lines, are vertical creases that form between the eyebrows as a result of repetitive facial expressions, such as squinting or frowning. As we age, these lines can become more pronounced, often making you look angry, stressed or fatigued. XEOMIN is FDA-approved to combat frown lines, providing patients with a more relaxed and refreshed appearance.

What to Expect During Xeomin Treatment

A Xeomin treatment typically takes 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Since the procedure is non-surgical, there is no downtime, and you can resume normal activities immediately after receiving injections.

Here’s what you can expect during the five-step treatment process.

Step 1: Consultation

Before receiving Xeomin injections, your healthcare provider will meet with you to discuss your treatment goals, medical history, and any concerns you may have. They will also evaluate your facial anatomy and determine if Xeomin is suitable for addressing your specific concerns.

Step 2: Pre-Treatment

A week before your procedure, you should avoid taking anti-inflammatories, aspirin, ginkgo biloba, vitamin E, and fish oil supplements. Compounds in these medications can increase bleeding and bruising.

A day before your procedure, you should avoid alcohol. Since alcohol acts as a blood thinner, it can cause bruising. Alcohol can also impair the body’s natural healing process and increase inflammation, both of which can exacerbate bruising.

Step 3: Injection Preparation

On the day of your Xeomin treatment, a healthcare professional will clean the treatment area. To provide the most comfortable experience possible, we also offer the option of nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for mild sedation.

When inhaled, nitrous oxide produces a sense of relaxation and euphoria, which can help alleviate anxiety and discomfort. The effects wear off quickly once the gas is discontinued, which means you can drive yourself home after the procedure.

Step 4: Injection

Once the treatment area is prepped, your healthcare provider will use a fine needle to inject the medication into the targeted facial muscles. During the injections, you may experience minor discomfort or a slight pinching sensation.

The number of injections will depend on your treatment plan.

Step 5: Post-Care

After the injections, your provider will also provide specific post-treatment instructions.

Depending on your aesthetic goals, you may schedule another visit with your healthcare provider to be treated again.

Potential side effects

Xeomin has undergone extended clinical trials and testing to ensure its safety. However, like any medication, this cosmetic injectable may result in side effects, such as redness, bruising, or pain at the injection site, and headaches. Occasionally, dropping eyelids may occur.

These symptoms typically subside on their own within a few days after treatment. You can mitigate discomfort and improve your results by avoiding:

  • Alcohol
  • Blood-thinning supplements and medications
  • Aerobic exercise
  • Harsh or abrasive skincare products
  • Touching or massaging the treatment area

Xeomin FAQs

How soon can I expect to see results from a Xeomin treatment?

Most patients begin to see results within three to four days after treatment.

How long does Xeomin last?

The longevity of results varies from person to person. However, the transformative effects of Xeomin injections typically last three to six months.

Are there any side effects associated with Xeomin?

Much like any prescription medication, Xeomin may cause side effects. These symptoms range from redness and swelling at the injection site to headaches but are usually mild and subside within 24 to 72 hours.

How much are Xeomin injections?

The cost of Xeomin injections will depend on your specific treatment plan. However, this non-surgical solution is much more affordable when compared to more invasive procedures.

Combining Xeomin With Other Treatments

Xeomin can offer impressive results when used alone. However, when administered alongside complementary treatments, the outcomes are even more dramatic. Here are several procedures we suggest combining with Xeomin:

Cosmetic dermal fillers

Cosmetic dermal fillers are injectable substances used to address static wrinkles and lines while adding volume to areas like the cheeks, smile lines, lips, tear troughs, and temples. Comparatively, Xeomin is best used to treat dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement. When combined, these two therapies provide a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation.

Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin fibers, helping smooth fine lines and wrinkles. Skincare professionals often pair microneedling with Xeomin injections to provide patients with a bright, radiant complexion.
