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.
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.
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.
Downtime is minimal. Some redness or swelling may occur at injection sites, but most clients resume normal activities right away.
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.
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.
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.
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®.
Downtime is minimal. You may experience slight redness or swelling at injection sites, but most clients return to normal activities immediately.
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.
