Xeomin®
Like BOTOX®, Xeomin® injections eliminate wrinkles and create smoother skin. Also known as “naked BOTOX,” Xeomin doesn’t have any of the additives (protective proteins) found in BOTOX, which means that you may be less likely to become resistant to the product. Xeomin may also be combined with dermal fillers such as Radiesse® to further enhance your skin.
How It Works
When you squint or frown, the muscles between your brows contract. As your skin ages and begins to lose elasticity, these repeated contractions can cause persistent frown lines.
Xeomin active ingrident is botulim toxin. It temporarily improves the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows in adults by blocking the signal from the nerve to the muscles, which relaxes the muscles in the forehead.
Dr. Haidarian will gently administer the injections in a matter of minutes, and results are visible within a few days. Results typically last for up to 3 months and may be repeated to maintain your wrinkle-free appearance. There is no downtime necessary, so you can get on with your day right after treatment.
