Preparation of the Area
Upon arrival, the treatment areas on your face will be gently cleansed. Your provider may mark the injection sites with a temporary pen to ensure precise placement of the Xeomin.

Using a very fine needle, Xeomin is carefully injected into the targeted muscles. The injections are typically quick and are well-tolerated by most patients. You might feel a slight pinch or pressure with each injection.

Post-Procedure Care
Immediately after the injections, you can resume most normal activities. You will receive specific aftercare instructions to optimize your results and ensure a smooth recovery. This typically includes avoiding strenuous exercise and lying down for a few hours.

Xeomin® FAQs
How does Xeomin® differ from Botox?
Xeomin is considered a ‘naked’ neurotoxin, meaning it does not contain accessory proteins found in other similar injectables like Botox. This might reduce the likelihood of developing antibodies to the product, though its effects are comparable.
Is Xeomin® painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during Xeomin injections, describing it as a brief pinch. A topical numbing cream can be applied before treatment to enhance comfort, if desired.
How long do Xeomin® results last?
The rejuvenating effects of Xeomin typically last between three to four months. Individual results can vary based on factors like metabolism, treated area, and the number of units injected.
Can Xeomin® be combined with other treatments?
Yes, Xeomin can often be combined with other aesthetic treatments like dermal fillers or advanced skin rejuvenation. During your consultation, we can discuss a comprehensive plan to address all your aesthetic concerns.
Are there any restrictions after Xeomin® injections?
After Xeomin injections, it is generally recommended to avoid strenuous exercise, lying flat, or rubbing the treated areas for at least 4-6 hours. This helps ensure the product settles correctly and minimizes potential side effects.
