Smooth away dynamic wrinkles with Xeomin—a purified neuromodulator that was designed with only the ingredients necessary for impeccable results.
The Benefits
Xeomin was formulated with only the ingredients necessary to treat your frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet. It’s a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, which means there are no additives and no extra ingredients other than what’s necessary to smooth your dynamic facial wrinkles.
Xeomin and BOTOX are both approved for the same purpose: treating dynamic facial wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing the underlying muscles.
The primary difference lies in how the product is manufactured. Xeomin is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A. Conversely, BOTOX is a complex blend of proteins. Xeomin doesn’t contain any additives, while BOTOX does. Although no studies have been performed, Xeomin may carry a reduced risk for an allergic reaction because it’s a purified form.
Dr. Mehta often recommends Xeomin for patients who no longer respond to BOTOX, typically due to antibody resistance. Xeomin offers a comparable onset and duration, providing an effective alternative for maintaining smooth, natural results.
What are the most common Xeomin side effects?
Can I switch to Xeomin if I’ve used Botox in the past?
At what age should I start Xeomin injections?
The most common side effects include bruising, redness, swelling, and more.
Yes, you can. Using Botox in the past does not prevent you from trying Xeomin.
It depends on your goals and your unique skin. Most patients begin treatment in their 30s, or whenever dynamic wrinkles begin to appear. However, we have many patients in their 20s who use Xeomin preventatively—relaxing the underlying muscles so wrinkles don’t have the opportunity to form.
