Xeomin
Xeomin® is an injectable medication, which is used for the temporary aesthetic improvement of glabellar lines (frown lines that develop between the eyes). The formula, and its effects, is similar to a better-known product, Botox®. These products, known as neuromodulators, have become one of the most popular non-surgical wrinkle reduction options available. Neuromodulators can help you look years younger with a comfortable procedure that takes just minutes, and the results last for months.
How Xeomin® works
When we think of muscles, we tend to think of the large ones in our arms, legs, or back. However, there are many tiny muscles throughout the human body, including our faces. The contraction of these muscles allows us to form facial expressions, such as squinting or scowling. Over time, repetitive contraction of specific muscles can lead to rigidity. The hardened muscles cause wrinkles and lines in the overlying skin. This type of wrinkling is most common on the forehead and around the eyes.
Xeomin® and other neuromodulators temporarily block the reception of the nerve signals that trigger muscle contraction. It relaxes the muscles, which reduces or eliminates dynamic wrinkles.
What Xeomin can treat?
Xeomin is used most often on the forehead and around the eyes, where lines and wrinkles tend to be of muscular origin. It is an excellent treatment for:
- Lines on the forehead
- Crow’s feet
- Frown lines
