Xeomin, also known as incobotulinumtoxinA, is a neurotoxin that temporarily paralyzes muscles. Similar to Botox, it is used to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles by preventing muscle contractions that cause these lines. Xeomin is unique in that it does not contain any additives, which may reduce the risk of allergic reactions.
Xeomin works by blocking the release of chemicals that cause muscle contractions. When injected into specific muscles, it relaxes these muscles, leading to a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Xeomin is known for its pure formulation, which does not contain any additives. This purity may reduce the risk of allergic reactions and make it a suitable option for individuals sensitive to other neurotoxins.
Xeomin injections are quick, typically taking only 30 minutes, and require no downtime. This makes it an ideal option for individuals with busy schedules.
Xeomin is highly effective in reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by repeated facial expressions. Results are noticeable within a few days and can last for several months.
The process begins with an initial consultation at RelifeMD. During this session, your medical history and aesthetic goals are reviewed to determine if Xeomin is suitable for you.
To prepare for Xeomin injections, it is advised to avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements, such as aspirin and fish oil, for a few days before the treatment to minimize the risk of bruising.
The Xeomin Injection Procedure
During the procedure, a fine needle is used to inject small amounts of Xeomin into the targeted muscles. The number of injections needed depends on the area being treated and the extent of the wrinkles. Please note you are not able to lie down for upto four hours after the treatment.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during Xeomin injections. A topical anesthetic or ice can be applied to the treatment area to enhance comfort.
After the treatment, you can return to your normal activities immediately. However, it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol consumption, and lying down for a few hours to prevent the Xeomin from spreading to unintended areas.
For optimal results, Xeomin treatments should be repeated every 3 to 4 months. Over time, the intervals between treatments may lengthen as the muscles become trained to relax.
Xeomin is suitable for adults looking to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles. It is particularly effective for individuals with dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement.
Comparing Xeomin to Other Neurotoxins
While both Xeomin and Botox are effective in reducing wrinkles, Xeomin's pure formulation without additives may make it a preferable option for some individuals.
Dysport is another neurotoxin similar to Xeomin and Botox. The choice between these treatments often depends on individual response and preference, as well as the recommendation of a qualified healthcare provider.
The cost of Xeomin treatment can vary based on factors such as the number of units required, the areas treated, and the expertise of the provider. Insurance typically does not cover cosmetic procedures.
Investing in regular Xeomin treatments can provide long-term benefits by maintaining a youthful appearance and preventing the development of deeper wrinkles.
