Smile-Worthy Frown Fixer

REDUCE THE FROWN LINES ON YOUR FOREHEAD

XEOMIN is the newest “frown fixer,” now available at EsthetixMD medspa. When you squint or frown, the muscles between your brows contract, causing the skin to furrow and fold. As your skin ages and loses some of its elasticity, these repeated contractions can cause persistent frown lines, also known as dynamic lines.

At our office in Bend XEOMIN is a cosmetic injectable that can help. Botulinum toxin type A – the active ingredient in XEOMIN – is used in facial aesthetic treatment to treat glabellar lines – the “11” between your eyebrows. It acts on nerve endings in muscles to prevent muscle fibers from contracting. By reducing these contractions, XEOMIN can temporarily reduce the frown lines on your forehead between your eyes. While the three are similar, XEOMIN (incobotulinumtoxinA) does not carry the proteins present in the other products. This lessens the possibility your body will react to treatment by forming antibodies that can render the product ineffective. (This is typically seen only in patients who have used botulinum toxin for an extended period.)

Budget-Friendly Wrinkle Reversal

CLIENTS ALSO LIKE THE QUICKER EFFECT

To introduce this new product to the marketplace, the manufacturer priced XEOMIN lower than competing injectables. With XEOMIN Bend patients also like the quicker effect they see with the treatment. Our clinicians can use more than one of the compounds in a single session to meet your goals. Our on-staff RN or doctor can advise you on the best approach based on your preference and injection locations.

Your XEOMIN Results

XEOMIN takes effect within two to three days after injection, with results lasting up to four months. You can maintain your results with regular follow-up treatment.

XEOMIN Treatment Aftercare

RECOVERY FROM XEOMIN INJECTIONS IS MINIMAL

As soon as you leave our office, you can resume your regular activities! However, you make some precautions after treatment to ensure the best results. You should not touch the treatment area for a minimum of three hours after your appointment. Four to six hours after treatment, avoid lying down or exercising to prevent the XEOMIN solution from traveling to other areas.

Am I A Good Candidate For XEOMIN Injections?

XEOMIN is an ideal treatment for men and women who would like to prevent or treat fine lines and wrinkles in the face. It is an especially beneficial treatment option for patients who have developed a resistance to the effects of Botox.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Xeomin?

Xeomin is a neuromodulator injection similar to Botox and Dysport. It is used to temporarily improve the appearance of frown lines between the brows, forehead wrinkles, and lines around the eyes. Xeomin is often referred to as the “naked” neurotoxin because it does not contain any additives.

How long does Xeomin last?

Xeomin typically lasts around 3-4 months. This may vary depending on the individual patient’s metabolism and the dosage of Xeomin used.

Is Xeomin painful?

Xeomin treatment should not be painful, though some patients may feel a small pinch during treatment. We will apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area to ensure your comfort.

Where is Xeomin most painful?

Areas with thinner skin, such as the area around the eyes, may be more sensitive compared to other areas. However, pain perception is highly individualized, and some people may be more sensitive than others.

How quickly does Xeomin start working?

Xeomin typically begins to take effect within 2-3 days after injection, with full effect within 14 days, and peak results occurring around 30 days post-treatment.

What are the most common side effects of Xeomin?

The most common side effects of Xeomin include dry mouth, headache, pain or bruising at the injection site, dry eye, and drooping eyelids.

Can Xeomin be used for medical conditions other than cosmetic purposes?

Yes, Xeomin is also used to treat medical conditions such as sialorrhea (excessive drooling), upper limb spasticity, cervical dystonia (neck spasms), and blepharospasm (eye twitching).

How does Xeomin compare to other neurotoxin treatments like Botox?

Xeomin is similar to Botox in its effects and uses, but it lacks certain proteins found in Botox, which may reduce the likelihood of developing antibodies against the treatment. Xeomin is FDA-Approved for forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines.

What precautions should I take after receiving Xeomin injections?

After receiving Xeomin, it’s recommended to avoid lying down for several hours, refrain from rubbing the treated area, and avoid strenuous physical activities for 24 hours to prevent the toxin from spreading to unintended areas.

Who is the ideal candidate for Xeomin?

Ideal Xeomin candidates will be healthy adults with facial wrinkles or lines that they wish to soften. Pregnant or nursing patients should not receive Xeomin treatment. To learn more about candidacy, schedule a consultation appointment today.
