Smooth fine lines and wrinkles with Xeomin®
FAQs about Xeomin®
What Is Xeomin®?
Xeomin® (incobotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved injectable neuromodulator used to temporarily improve the appearance of dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions.
Like other botulinum toxin type A products, Xeomin works by temporarily relaxing targeted muscles that create expression lines. As those muscles relax, the overlying skin appears smoother and softer.
One unique characteristic of Xeomin is that it contains only the active ingredient without accessory proteins, making it a highly purified formulation often referred to as the "naked neurotoxin."
What Can Xeomin Treat?
Xeomin is commonly used to improve the appearance of:
- Frown lines (the "11s")
- Forehead lines
- Crow's feet
- Bunny lines
- Lip flip
- Chin dimpling
- Downturned corners of the mouth
- Gummy smile
- Neck bands
- Masseter (jaw slimming)
- Other facial balancing and customized treatment areas
Your injector will develop a personalized treatment plan based on your anatomy, facial movement, and desired outcome.

What to Expect During Your Appointment
Your appointment typically takes about 15. After a facial assessment and consultation, your injector will strategically place small amounts of Xeomin into targeted muscles using a very fine needle. Most patients describe the treatment as quick and very tolerable. Results often begin to appear within several days, with full results developing over approximately 10 to 14 days. Most patients enjoy results that last around 3 to 4 months.
Xeomin® Aftercare
For optimal results, we recommend:
- Remaining upright for at least 4 hours
- Avoiding strenuous exercise until the following day
- Avoiding rubbing or massaging treated areas
- Following all aftercare instructions provided by your injector
Your provider will review everything you need to know before you leave your appointment.
Is Xeomin the same as Botox?
Both are FDA-approved neuromodulators that work in a similar way to temporarily relax muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. Xeomin contains only the active ingredient without accessory proteins, while Botox includes additional protective proteins.
Can Xeomin help prevent wrinkles?
Many patients choose neuromodulator treatments proactively to help reduce repetitive muscle movement that contributes to wrinkle formation over time.
