Xeomin are neurotoxins used for combatting the signs of aging
As we get older, our skin doesn’t produce as much collagen, which gives it its elasticity and structure. This compound also allows our skin to bounce back to its original texture after facial muscle contractions. Over time, our skin becomes tired, and these repeated contractions eventually crease the skin permanently, forming wrinkles and fine lines.
Xeomin is a cosmetic injectable that can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, such as persistent frown lines or crow’s feet in adult patients. Compared to other botulinum toxin injectable treatments, Xeomin works much more quickly, and you should begin seeing results in less than a week.
Xeomin works by blocking transmissions to the nerves
Xeomin is a neurotoxin which reduces wrinkles by blocking nerve transmissions that tell the facial muscles to move. For example, if you want to get rid of frown lines, Xeomin can be injected between your eyebrows. As the toxin takes effect, it will prevent muscle contractions in this area so that the wrinkles are smoothed and cannot crease anymore.
Xeomin injections are designed to freeze muscles and smooth facial wrinkles
Xeomin is different from other cosmetic injections because it contains no protein additives. The proteins found in Botox can actually prevent the neurotoxin from working if antibody resistance builds up. Additionally, because the body doesn’t have to spend time breaking down these proteins with Xeomin, the results appear much more quickly. For some patients, these are unnecessary proteins, and their bodies respond better to Xeomin.
Over time, Xeomin will prevent facial expressions from creating new wrinkles by keeping the muscles from contracting. Instead of long-lasting frown lines, you can reduce these lines on your forehead and keep them from becoming more severe.
FAQs for Xeomin in Atlanta
What is Xeomin?
Xeomin is in the family of cosmetic injectables used most commonly to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Like botox, Xeomin is made from the active ingredient incobotulinum toxin A, a neurotoxin similar to but slightly different than the botulinum toxin in Botox. It has been FDA-approved for treating wrinkles since 2011 when it was developed for treating frown lines (glabellar lines) which can be particularly difficult to get rid of because they are so deep.
How does Xeomin work?
Xeomin is injected into the area where you want the wrinkles to be smoothed out, and the neurotoxin temporarily relaxes the facial muscles beneath the skin. Wrinkles form over time because your skin is constantly being stretched and pushed as you make repeated expressions each day. Using Xeomin to freeze these muscles in one position will prevent them from forming wrinkles, giving patients visible smoothing and a more youthful appearance.
What areas of the body can get Xeomin treatment?
Skin ages everywhere, but our face usually becomes the most wrinkled. For example, many people have severe frown lines or severe glabellar lines much sooner than they develop wrinkles on their bodies. Xeomin can be used anywhere you have moderate to severe wrinkles, as a preventative measure, or to treat certain medical conditions. While the arms are not a common injection site for Xeomin, here are some of the most common areas that receive these neurotoxin injections.
- Crow’s feet,
- Worry lines (glabellar lines)
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines
- Marionette lines
- Nasolabial folds
- Bunny Lines
In addition to the cosmetic use of Xeomin, it can also treat various medical conditions. If you suffer from chronic migraines, Xeomin has FDA approval to treat this and excessive underarm sweating.
