Xeomin is a neuromodulator formulated without accessory complexing proteins, used to relax specific facial muscles and soften expression lines while aiming to preserve natural look and feel.
What it treats (best suited)
- Glabellar (frown) lines and forehead lines
- Crow’s feet
- Selected areas: chin dimpling, bunny lines; advanced patterns by indication
Who it’s not ideal for
- Active skin infection at planned sites
- Certain neuromuscular conditions—discuss in consultation
- Expectations for etched, static lines without adjunct resurfacing/filler
How it works
Micro‑injections reduce targeted muscle activity. Most people see visible softening within days, with peak at around 2 weeks.
Treatment areas
- Brow/frown complex, forehead, crow’s feet
- Optional specialist patterns for lower face/neck
Session plan
- Frequency: Typically 3–4‑monthly; individual variation expected.
- Review: 2‑week follow‑up to fine‑tune.
Comfort & aftercare
- Fine needles; quick session. Avoid rubbing and postpone strenuous exercise for the first day as advised.
Results & longevity
- Smoother expression lines by week 2; gradual fade thereafter.
- For static lines, consider pairing with ProFractional or LaseMD Ultra.
Skin of colour
- Appropriate across tones; discuss bruise/PIH prevention and injector’s experience.
Combines well with
- Lift/tighten: Sofwave, Ultherapy
- Texture/pigment: Fraxel Dual, MOXI
How it compares
- Outcomes are technique‑ and dose‑dependent; brand choice is personalised to your goals and history.
