UNDERSTANDING
Xeomin
Xeomin® is an FDA-approved injectable neuromodulator made with incobotulinumtoxinA, designed to temporarily relax the facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. These are the expression lines that develop from everyday movements like smiling, frowning, and squinting, including forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet.
Often compared to Botox® Cosmetic, Xeomin works in a similar way but features a highly purified formula with no accessory proteins. With expert injection techniques, Xeomin softens wrinkles while preserving your natural facial expressions—helping you look refreshed, never frozen.

Choosing a treatment is an important decision. That’s why we’ve answered some of the most frequently asked questions about Xeomin to help you understand how it works, what to expect throughout your treatment, and feel informed and confident every step of the way.
Xeomin is an excellent choice for adults looking to soften expression lines while maintaining natural facial movement. Whether you’re hoping to reduce forehead lines, frown lines, or crow’s feet, each treatment is personalized to help you achieve refreshed, natural-looking results.
During your consultation, we’ll take the time to understand your goals, review your health history, and determine whether Xeomin is the right treatment for you. Your comfort, safety, and confidence are always our top priorities.
Xeomin is commonly used to soften dynamic wrinkles—the lines and folds that develop from repeated facial expressions over time. Treatment can be customized to address a variety of areas, including:
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Bunny lines on the bridge of the nose
- Neck bands (platysmal bands)
- Masseter muscles to help soften the appearance of a square jawline
- Fine lines around the mouth (perioral lines)
- Downturned corners of the mouth
Every treatment is personalized to your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your concerns and create a treatment plan designed to achieve natural-looking, balanced results.
Many patients begin noticing results within a few days, with full results typically developing over the next one to two weeks. Because Xeomin works gradually, the results appear naturally rather than all at once.
Results typically last about 3 to 4 months, although every patient is different. During your consultation, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan and discuss a maintenance schedule to help you enjoy long-lasting, natural-looking results.
Yes. The goal of Xeomin is to soften expression lines—not eliminate your natural facial expressions. When administered with a personalized approach, Xeomin helps you look refreshed while preserving the ability to smile, laugh, and express yourself naturally.
One of Xeomin’s distinguishing features is its highly purified formulation. Through a specialized purification process, accessory proteins are removed, leaving only the active ingredient needed for treatment. Because of this, Xeomin is often referred to as a highly purified neuromodulator.
Once injected into targeted muscles, Xeomin temporarily interrupts the communication between nerves and muscles responsible for repeated facial expressions. As those muscles relax, dynamic wrinkles gradually soften, helping create a smoother, refreshed appearance while preserving natural-looking facial expressions.
Every Xeomin appointment is personalized to your unique goals. We’ll begin by discussing your concerns, reviewing your treatment plan, and answering any questions you may have. Once you’re comfortable, your injections will be performed with precision and care to help you achieve natural-looking results.
Following your treatment, you’ll receive simple aftercare instructions and guidance on what to expect as your results begin to develop.
