Xeomin Reduces Unwanted Lines and Wrinkles
What is Xeomin and what does it do? (pronounced zeo-men)
Xeomin is an injectable medication used to relax unwanted wrinkles and lines. Xeomin is made without accessory proteins so some consider it to be "pure" or "naked".
Tired of looking tired? Xeomin can remove unwanted frown lines and wrinkles such as the 11s, crows feet, or forehead lines in a 5 min treatment.

Is Xeomin better than Botox?
Xeomin and Botox are both injectable treatments that reduce the appearance of wrinkles by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause them. They are made from botulinum toxin type A, a neurotoxin that blocks nerve signals to the muscles. This relaxation of the muscles leads to a smoother skin surface and reduced wrinkles.
Key Differences
- Formula Purity:
- Xeomin: Often referred to as the "naked" or "pure" injectable, Xeomin is free from any additives or proteins. This purity means there's less risk of developing antibodies that might make the treatment less effective over time.
- Botox: Contains accessory proteins alongside the active ingredient. Some believe these proteins might contribute to a longer-lasting effect, but they can also increase the chance of the body developing resistance similar to a vaccine.
- Onset and Duration:
- Xeomin: Typically, results from Xeomin can start to appear within 3-4 days after the injection, and the effects can last about 3-4 months.
- Botox: Botox results generally begin to show within 7-14 days and can also last around 3-4 months. Some patients report that Botox may last slightly less for them compared to Xeomin, but it does come down to dose and how its prepared.
Similarities
- Efficacy: Both Xeomin and Botox are highly effective at reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
- Procedure: The injection process for both treatments is quick and relatively painless, often taking just 10-15 minutes.
- Side Effects: Common side effects for both Xeomin and Botox include mild bruising, swelling, and redness at the injection site. Serious side effects are rare but can include allergic reactions and muscle weakness.
Are Xeomin and Botox units the same?
Both Xeomin and Botox are measured in units, which are standardized doses of the botulinum toxin used in each injection. However, the secret sauce varies between how it was prepared, which varies from clinic to clinic. Thats the chefs secret!
*One unit of Xeomin may feel or act different than one unit of Botox. The mixture will be different from one place to another. The secret is sticking to a regular schedule and injector.
Choosing the Right Xeomin Treatment
The choice between Xeomin and Botox often comes down to personal preference and individual response to the treatments. Here are a few factors to consider:
- Area Treated: Xeomin is great for the upper face such as crows feet, frown lines, and forehead lines. It is not recommended for speciality injections.
- Previous Treatments: If you've used Botox before and are noticing reduced effectiveness, switching to Xeomin might be beneficial due to its pure formula.
