Xeomin Treatment for Moderate to Severe Facial Wrinkles

If you have any facial wrinkles that are bothering you and you want to get rid of them, you may want to consider Xeomin. This is an injectable drug approved by the US FDA for cosmetic indications. It is effective for use in treating frown lines, smile lines, forehead lines and other facial wrinkles. Xeomin injections serve the same cosmetic purposes as injections of other approved botulinum toxin treatments such as botox and Dysport. Compared to botox, Xeomin has not been found to be inferior in any way. For your safety, Xeomin treatment should only be provided by a trained medical professional. Dr. Bloch is not only an expert in providing such treatments but is also an experienced board certified plastic surgeon. Patients conveniently book their appointments at Skin Deep Medical Spa by calling the office at 847-380-7596,

Better or worse than Botox?

Xeomin is the first one that does not need to be refrigerated before use, which may simplify distribution. Xeomin is also has no additives, just botulinum toxin type A. This may mean that there is less risk of developing antibodies against Xeomin than other available neurotoxins. The body develops antibodies in response to a foreign invader and attacks. In theory, antibodies could prevent a neurotoxin from having its desired effects. The effects of Xeomin occur within one week, and the results last from three to six months, making it comparable to Botox in terms of both onset and duration of action. Xeomin should not be used interchangeably with other botulinum products.

How is Xeomin treatment performed?

After your consultation with Dr. Bloch and deciding on your treatment, Xeomin will be injected into specific muscles depending on the areas where wrinkles on your face need to be corrected. The botulinum toxin type A will reduce the muscle activity responsible for the wrinkles and therefore you will be left with a smoother appearance. A topical anesthetic may be used to numb your facial skin before injections. The doctor will give you the instructions to follow to minimize the side effects of the treatment. The results of your treatment will be evident after about 7 days and will last between 3 to 6 months. Since these results are temporary, you need repeat treatments to maintain them.

Xeomin side effects

Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction to Xeomin: hives; difficulty breathing; feeling like you might pass out; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

The botulinum toxin contained in Xeomin can spread to other body areas beyond where it was injected. This has caused serious life-threatening side effects in some people receiving botulism toxin injections, even for cosmetic purposes.

How much does Xeomin cost?

The cost of Xeomin treatment is comparable that of other injectable drugs based on botulinum toxin especially botox. Since the doctor will have to examine you and determine the number of injections required to achieve your desired results, it is important to ask how much the treatment is likely cost during your consultation.
