Common Questions About Xeomin
How does Xeomin work?
Xeomin is a neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles. By reducing muscle contractions, the skin above appears smoother, softening lines and wrinkles.
How is Xeomin different from Botox®?
Xeomin is often called the “naked injectable” because it contains no accessory proteins—just the pure botulinum toxin type A. This may reduce the chance of developing resistance over time.
What areas can Xeomin treat?
Xeomin is effective for many concerns, including Forehead Lines, Glabella (Frown Lines), Crow’s Feet, Bunny Lines, Eyebrow Lift, Lip Lines, Chin Dimpling, Jawline & Masseter Reduction, and Neck Bands.
How long do Xeomin results last?
Results typically last 3–4 months, though this can vary by patient, treatment area, and dosage.
How soon will I see results?
Most patients notice smoother skin within 3–7 days after treatment.
Is Xeomin safe?
Yes. Xeomin is FDA- and Health Canada-approved, and has been studied extensively for both safety and efficacy.
Will I look frozen?
No. At Dermis, Nurse Practitioner Elizabeth Lavoie uses a conservative, artistic approach to ensure results are natural and expressive, not overdone.
What is recovery like?
There is virtually no downtime. Minor redness or swelling at the injection site may occur, but it typically resolves within hours.
Who is a good candidate for Xeomin?
Adults seeking subtle, non-surgical wrinkle reduction who want to maintain natural expression may benefit from Xeomin.
Can Xeomin be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Xeomin is often combined with Dermal Fillers, Radiesse, or PRP for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
