Looking Amazing With Xeomin®

Xeomin® is an alternative to BOTOX® that temporarily reduces fine lines and wrinkles upon the face. This aesthetic treatment continues its escalating rise in popularity as it produces a visibly youthful and refreshed look that can last 3 to 4 months. Xeomin® like BOTOX® and another facial injectable, Dysport® is derived from the botulinum neurotoxin and can be administered to treat the same areas. Xeomin® is highly purified and free of proteins, unlike Botox. Patients who have not been impressed with Botox often discover that they achieve better, long-lasting results with Xeomin®.

Xeomin® will smooth patient’s fine lines and wrinkles for three to four months. Patients who would like to maintain their results can schedule convenient maintenance appointments with Dr. Sadi Erfani. Beautiful, natural-looking skin rejuvenation, for years to come!

Xeomin® is a highly effective, long-lasting solution to dynamic facial wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles are formed when a muscle is overused or has become so tense it holds its position, and the wrinkles it causes, permanently. An injection of Xeomin® targets and relaxes the muscle responsible for a wrinkle, allowing the skin to resume its smooth, unwrinkled position. Xeomin® treatments have also shown to help prevent the formation of additional wrinkles in the future.

Injection Areas

A treatment with Xeomin® is administered with a predetermined solution injected in prescribed amounts on desired areas on the face or neck.

Xeomin® will relax and smooth away your existing wrinkles, as well as help prevent the formation of new ones.

The amount of Xeomin® a patient receives will vary based on their goals for their appearance, as well as the needs of their facial structure. We want you to look more youthful and rejuvenated, while maintaining the beauty and balance of your features.

The most commonly treated areas are the frown lines (known as the glabellar lines), creases in the forehead and crow’s feet. Some of the other areas around the face that Xeomin® treats are:

  • “Bunny Lines” of the nose
  • Reduce “Gummy Smile”
  • Lip lines
  • Droopy eyebrows
  • The neck

Xeomin® is also being found to treat other conditions like excessive sweating in the armpit region known as hyperhidrosis.

Different Treatments

Xeomin® has been made available in the US since late 2011, although it has been actively used in other countries since 2005. As BOTOX® and Dysport® have helped countless clients appear more youthful, questions have understandably arisen between the different treatments.

Trying to decide what anti-aging solutions are right for you? Plastic surgeon, Dr. Sadi Erfani will be happy to provide more information regarding the treatment and proprietary differences between BOTOX®, Dysport® and Xeomin®.

Treatment Time

By the end of your private consultation, if you and Dr. Erfani decide Xeomin® is the best way to address your facial wrinkles, Dr. Erfani will tailor a treatment to the unique needs of your body. A Xeomin® procedure is quick and can often be completed in as little as 15 to 20 minutes. Anesthesia is not mandatory as tiny needle injections are used so discomfort is minimal. There is almost no downtime recovery.

Due to the convenience of the treatment, Xeomin® is often combined with other rejuvenating procedures like facelift surgery, a liquid facelift, or facial fat transfer to maximize results.

Patients can receive Xeomin® on their lunch break, and return back to their normal day immediately right after treatment. There may be some slight redness or swelling from the sites at injection, but can easily be hidden with light makeup.

Results

Patients do not always realize the difference a few wrinkles make, until they see them completely wiped away! Our patients love the way that a quick, comfortable treatment with Xeomin® is able to smooth away their dynamic lines and wrinkles, reviving their entire appearance.

Desired results typically appear within 48 hours to as much as ten days depending on the amount and treatment. Some report a noticeable difference even sooner!

As like most facial injectables, subsequent treatment with Xeomin® is necessary to maintain one’s desired appearance. Patients who would like to extend the results they achieved with Xeomin® are invited to speak with Dr. Erfani about scheduling convenient touch-up appointments.
