Xeomin®
facial balancing.
Xeomin is incobotulinumtoxinA, a prescription botulinum toxin type A product.
Its current FDA cosmetic indication includes moderate-to-severe glabellar lines, horizontal forehead lines and lateral canthal lines in adults. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Treat the movement pattern—not simply the line.
The goal is to understand how your forehead, brow complex and eye area work together before deciding where treatment belongs.
Three major upper-face concerns.
Xeomin's current U.S. labeling specifically includes the three major upper-face line patterns commonly discussed during aesthetic consultations. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Frown Lines
Moderate-to-severe glabellar lines associated with corrugator and/or procerus muscle activity.
Forehead Lines
Moderate-to-severe horizontal forehead lines associated with frontalis muscle activity.
Crow's Feet
Moderate-to-severe lateral canthal lines associated with orbicularis oculi muscle activity.
Different prescription products.
Similar treatment category.
Xeomin contains incobotulinumtoxinA, while Botox Cosmetic contains onabotulinumtoxinA.
Both are botulinum toxin type A products, but product selection should be based on the actual medication, dose, treatment area, previous response and clinical strategy—not simply treating every toxin as interchangeable.
About the Xeomin formulation.
Xeomin contains incobotulinumtoxinA as its active neurotoxin component.
You may hear Xeomin marketed casually as “clean Botox.” We don't use that language. Xeomin is its own prescription medication with its own formulation, labeling and clinical data.
Product differences matter—but so do anatomy, dosing, injection placement and how the individual patient responds.
Upper-face treatment should work as a system.
The forehead, brow depressors and muscles surrounding the eyes influence one another. Treating them without considering that interaction can create imbalance.
Common treatment considerations.
- Horizontal Forehead Lines
- Frown Lines / 11s
- Brow Position
- Crow's Feet
Beyond the upper face.
Botulinum toxin products may also be used in other facial and neck areas when clinically appropriate.
- Lower Eyelid
- Bunny Lines
- Lip Flip
- DAO / Downturned Mouth
- Chin / Mentalis
- Platysma + Neck
Natural isn't synonymous with undertreated.
The objective isn't to eliminate every expression.
It is to determine which muscles are producing unwanted lines or directional pull and reduce that activity appropriately while preserving the overall facial expression the patient wants.

Your previous product, dose, treatment pattern, facial response and preferences can inform what happens at future visits.
The objective isn't to perform the same injection map on every patient. It's to understand how your face moves and how you respond over time.
Aesthetic doesn't mean risk-free.
Xeomin is a prescription medication. Appropriate patient selection, medical history, anatomy, dosing and administration matter.
Important Xeomin Safety Information

These problems can be life-threatening and deaths have been reported. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Questions before treatment?
What is Xeomin?
Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) is a prescription botulinum toxin type A medication. Its current FDA cosmetic indication includes moderate-to-severe glabellar lines, horizontal forehead lines and lateral canthal lines in adults. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
Is Xeomin the same as Botox?
No. Xeomin and Botox Cosmetic are different prescription botulinum toxin type A products. Xeomin contains incobotulinumtoxinA, while Botox Cosmetic contains onabotulinumtoxinA.
Is Xeomin “clean Botox”?
We don't describe it that way. “Clean Botox” is marketing shorthand rather than the name of a medical category. Xeomin is its own prescription product with its own formulation and approved labeling.
Can Xeomin treat forehead lines and crow's feet?
Yes. Xeomin's current FDA labeling includes moderate-to-severe horizontal forehead lines and lateral canthal lines, in addition to glabellar lines, in adults. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
How much does Xeomin cost at Bolus?
Standard public/retail neurotoxin pricing is $15 per Botox-equivalent unit. Foundation Private Clients receive preferred pricing of $10 per unit, and Elevated Private Clients receive preferred pricing of $9 per unit. Dysport is handled differently because its product-specific units are not unit-for-unit equivalent.
How many units of Xeomin do I need?
There is no universal dose appropriate for every patient. Treatment depends on anatomy, muscle strength, the areas being treated, previous response and desired degree of movement.
Will Xeomin make me look frozen?
Not necessarily. The treatment plan can be adjusted according to the amount of movement you prefer to retain while still addressing the muscular activity contributing to unwanted lines.
Who performs Xeomin treatments at Bolus?
Neuromodulator treatments at Bolus Med Spa are performed by Mark Abbott, MSN, FNP, CRNP, a board-certified nurse practitioner.
