Question 1

What are neurotoxins and how do they work?

Accepted Answer

Neurotoxins are injectable treatments that temporarily relax facial muscles to smooth dynamic lines and wrinkles caused by repeated expressions. Common treatment areas include the forehead, frown lines between the brows, and crow’s feet.

Question 2

How long do neurotoxins results last?

Accepted Answer

Results typically appear within 3–7 days, peak at around 2 weeks, and last about 3–4 months. Duration can vary based on the product used, treatment area, and individual factors like metabolism.

Question 3

What is Botox® used for?

Accepted Answer

Botox® is FDA-approved to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles, softening wrinkles and creating a smoother, more refreshed look. It’s most commonly used for forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet.

Question 4

Is there downtime after Botox®?

Accepted Answer

Downtime is minimal. Some redness or swelling may occur at injection sites, but most clients resume normal activities right away.

Question 5

Is Botox the only option?

Accepted Answer

No. Botox® is the most well-known neurotoxin, but other options—such as Xeomin®—are also available. While both work similarly, Xeomin® is a purified “naked” form without added proteins, which may reduce the risk of resistance over time.

Question 6

What is Xeomin®?

Accepted Answer

Xeomin® is an FDA-approved neurotoxin used to temporarily relax facial muscles and smooth dynamic wrinkles. It’s often used to treat frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet for a refreshed, natural look.

Question 7

How is Xeomin® different from Botox®?

Accepted Answer

Xeomin® is a “naked” form of botulinum toxin—meaning it’s uniquely purified and free from accessory proteins. This may reduce the risk of resistance over time, making it a great option for patients who want a clean, effective wrinkle relaxer.

Question 8

How long does Xeomin® take to work, and how long does it last?

Accepted Answer

Results typically start to appear within 3–5 days, with full effects at around 2 weeks. Xeomin® results usually last 3–4 months, similar to Botox®.

Question 9

Is there downtime after Xeomin®?

Accepted Answer

Downtime is minimal. You may experience slight redness or swelling at injection sites, but most clients return to normal activities immediately.

Question 10

Who is a good candidate for Xeomin®?

Accepted Answer

Xeomin® is ideal for anyone looking to soften facial lines without surgery. It’s especially suited for patients who want a more purified formula or have developed resistance to other neurotoxins.

Question 11

What should I do to prepare for my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Just like other injectable treatments, botox and other neurotoxins can occasionally cause mild bruising. To reduce this risk, please review and follow our injectable pre-treatment guidelines before your visit.
