Xeomin

IncobotulinumtoxinA—often called a “purified” or “naked” neuromodulator—for softening dynamic lines while keeping natural expression.

Overview

Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) is a neuromodulator used to temporarily relax specific muscles that create dynamic facial lines. Cosmetic treatment commonly targets the frown lines (glabella), crow’s feet, and horizontal forehead lines. Subtle results begin around 2–5 days, with a more complete effect by weeks 2–4, and typical duration of about 3–4 months (varies by area, dose, and individual).

Why Xeomin

Xeomin is formulated without accessory complexing proteins—often referred to as a “purified” or “naked” toxin. This streamlined formulation is designed for consistent performance and may be considered by some patients who prefer a minimal-protein option. Functionally, its onset and duration are similar to other botulinum toxin type A products.

Regulatory note: Xeomin is FDA-approved for glabellar lines. Providers may also treat additional dynamic areas based on clinical judgment and individual assessment.

Who it’s for

  • Soften frown, crow’s feet, and forehead lines
  • Prevent dynamic lines from etching in at rest
  • Seek a subtle, temporary refresh with minimal downtime
Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with certain neuromuscular disorders, active infection at the site, or other contraindications determined by your provider.

FAQ

When will I see results and how long do they last?

Early changes start in about 2–5 days, with peak effect by weeks 2–4. Typical duration is ~3–4 months, varying by area, dose, and individual.

Will I look “frozen”?

Our approach relaxes movement without erasing expression. We tailor dose and placement to your features and goals.

How is it different from Botox®?

Xeomin contains botulinum toxin type A without accessory complexing proteins (a “purified” formulation). Onset and duration are generally similar; your provider can recommend the best option for you.

Can I combine it with other treatments?

Yes—often paired with fillers, gentle lasers, or medical-grade skincare. We’ll sequence treatments to minimize irritation and optimize results.
