Skip to content Xeomin® is an FDA-approved treatment that involves injections to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles by relaxing the muscles in the face. It helps minimize the look of movement-related wrinkles by blocking signals from the nerves that cause muscle tightening, all while allowing you to maintain natural facial expressions. Like Botox® and Dysport®, Xeomin® is often used to treat forehead wrinkles, frown lines (also known as glabellar lines), and crow’s feet. What sets Xeomin® apart is its highly purified formula, which contains only botulinum toxin without any added proteins. This may help prevent the development of resistance in patients who receive regular neurotoxin treatments.
Xeomin® in Wilmington, NC, is ideal for both men and women looking for a natural-looking, non-surgical solution to wrinkles. You usually start to see results within 3 to 7 days, with the complete effects appearing after about two weeks. Xeomin® effects typically last from 3 to 4 months, but this can change depending on your muscle activity and metabolism. Because Xeomin® has fewer extra proteins, it may be less likely to trigger an immune response compared to Botox® and Dysport®. This makes it a great option for individuals who have stopped seeing results with other neuromodulators. Additionally, Xeomin® is FDA-approved for medical conditions, including cervical dystonia (neck muscle spasms) and blepharospasm (uncontrolled eyelid twitching).

Xeomin® is a great choice for first-time patients because of its pure formulation and natural-looking results. It works similarly to Botox® and Dysport®, but some patients prefer its lightweight feel and reduced risk of resistance over time.
The amount of Xeomin® required varies by treatment area and muscle strength. For example, treating frown lines (glabellar lines) may require 20-30 units, while forehead wrinkles might need 10-20 units. Your provider at Beach Medical Aesthetics in Wilmington, NC, will assess your needs and create a personalized treatment plan.
Many patients switch from Botox® to Xeomin®, especially if they develop a resistance to Botox® over time. Because Xeomin® contains no added proteins, it may be a better option for individuals who no longer see the same results with Botox®.
Stopping Xeomin® will not make wrinkles worse. However, your muscles will gradually regain movement, and wrinkles will return to their natural state over time. Regular maintenance treatments help prevent deepening lines.
If you have a wedding, reunion, or special event coming up, schedule your Xeomin® treatment at least two weeks in advance to ensure full results and allow time for any mild swelling or redness to subside.
Xeomin® is FDA-approved for adults aged 18 and older. A lot of individuals begin treatments in their late 20s or early 30s to help slow down the formation of deep wrinkles. However, Xeomin® is also highly effective for individuals in their 40s, 50s, and beyond who want to reduce the appearance of existing wrinkles.
