What Is Xeomin Used for?

Are the signs of aging you’re seeing as you get older making you feel self-conscious about the way you look? At Le Beau Visage Medical Spa in Frisco, TX, our treatments can help. Here’s what you can expect from your XEOMIN treatment.

What Is XEOMIN Used for?

This injectable treatment is made with an ingredient called botulinum toxin type A. This ingredient acts as a neuromodulator, which means it blocks signals sent from your brain called neurotransmitters from reaching your muscles.

By blocking these neurotransmitters, it helps keep your muscles from over-contracting. In turn, this keeps the skin on top of your muscles smooth and free of wrinkles. It’s used to treat a variety of cosmetic concerns. It can also be used as a way to manage certain medical concerns.

What Cosmetic Concerns Can XEOMIN Treat?

Glabellar Lines

Your glabella is the area between your eyebrows. When you frown or furrow your brow, you may notice creasing in between your brows. Over time, as your skin loses its natural elasticity, you may start to notice that these creases become permanent.

This can make you look constantly angry or worried, as well as age your appearance. If you don’t like this change, then you’ll want to consider getting this injectable. It will keep the muscles around your brow relaxed, allowing you to maintain smooth-looking and wrinkle-free skin.

Forehead Lines

Lifting your brows will cause horizontal lines to run across your forehead. Eventually, these lines may start to become permanent. If this change is affecting your self-esteem and you’re looking for a solution, this injectable is here to help.

It will stop the muscles in your forehead from over-contracting, keeping the skin smooth and relaxed. Instead of looking older and perpetually surprised, you’ll look younger and much more relaxed.

Nose

When you wrinkle your nose, you may notice lines running along its sides. These lines are often referred to as bunny lines because of their resemblance to a rabbit’s ears. You may find that these lines make you look older and give you a constantly disgusted appearance.

This neuromodulator treatment can be used around the nose area to ensure the muscles around your nose stay relaxed. You’ll love how much smoother the area looks.

Eyelids

The skin around your eyes is a lot thinner than the skin on the rest of your face. That makes it a pretty common place to see early signs of aging. As your skin loses elasticity, for example, you might start to notice that your eyelids become droopier.

If you’d like to reverse this change, you can consider getting surgery. But not everyone is comfortable with more invasive treatments like this. If you’re looking for an alternative, consider getting injections of XEOMIN. It will help lift your eyelids without you needing to go under the knife.

What Medical Concerns Can It Treat?

Hyperhidrosis

It’s normal to sweat, but if you’re sweating excessively, this can make you feel self-conscious. You may also find yourself staying away from activities you wish you could participate in and clothes that you want to wear.

If you’re experiencing hyperhidrosis and you’re looking for a solution, talk to your doctor about getting this treatment. It can be used to relax the muscles that trigger this excessive sweating. This will leave you dry and able to enjoy your life worry-free.

Migraines

If you have ever had a migraine, then you know exactly how painful they can be. Migraines are much more extreme than just a headache, and many people deal with them chronically. If you have migraines, you may also experience extreme sensitivities to light and sound.

You don’t need to live in pain. There is evidence that getting injections of this treatment can help to reduce the symptoms of migraines, allowing you to live comfortably and get back to the things you love in life.

Cervical Dystonia

This condition causes the muscles in a person’s neck to contract without their control. Often, these contractions are painful. They can also cause a person’s head to twist to the side. There is, unfortunately, no cure for cervical dystonia. Instead, doctors will recommend management techniques.

One thing you can discuss with your doctor to lessen your symptoms is getting injections of this treatment. It will prevent the muscles in your neck from over-contracting, keeping them relaxed. You should notice a major reduction in your symptoms, meaning you can get back to a pain-free life.

Temporomandibular Joint Disorders

Your temporomandibular joint is the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. Many people have chronic tension around their jaws. This is especially true of people who experience a lot of daily stress. This tension can cause discomfort, constant tooth grinding, and even pain.

This treatment can offer you the solution you need. If you are struggling with a TMJ disorder, this injectable will keep the muscles around your jaw relaxed. You should feel much more comfortable as you carry less tension in your jaw. This will help you protect your dental health as well.

XEOMIN FAQs

When Will I See Results?

You may not notice a change in your appearance right away after you get treatment, but don’t worry. The product may just take a few takes to start kicking in. You should begin to see the changes you’re looking for a few days after treatment, with full results generally being visible after a week or two.

After receiving your treatment, we’ll instruct you on what you need to do to help your results appear as quickly as possible. This includes avoiding pressing down on the treated areas to help prevent the product from spreading to unwanted areas.

How Long Do Results Last?

Most people find that their results last somewhere between 3 to 6 months. The amount of time your results last will depend on a few different factors. This includes where you receive the injections as well as how your skin reacts.

If you want your results to last for as long as possible, there are a few things you can do. The most important thing is to keep up with a regular skincare routine. Living a generally healthy lifestyle will also help your results last much longer.

What Is Treatment Like?

One of the reasons why so many people love this injectable is that the treatment process is extremely fast, safe, and easy. When you come to our clinic, we’ll do everything we can to keep you comfortable throughout the entire process. Feel free to ask questions at any point in the treatment process.

We’ll start by cleaning your skin. Once it’s been cleaned, we can apply a topical numbing ointment. You should feel no pain throughout the treatment process. There may be a slight pinch as the needle is applied. Most appointments take less than half an hour, and you can leave when it’s finished.

What Is the Recovery Like?

Because this treatment is non-invasive, you don’t need to worry about an extensive recovery. When you’re ready to leave, we’ll provide you with instructions on how you can care for your skin as it heals around the injection areas.

These instructions will be minimal. You’ll just need to avoid a few things since your skin will be a bit more sensitive. Stay away from strenuous physical activity or anything else that could cause excessive sweating. You will also need to keep away from direct sunlight.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

This treatment is safe for almost anybody to receive. If you have been sensitive to other products with botulinum toxin type A, however, you should speak to us about alternatives. You should also avoid it for the time being if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or currently have any skin conditions around where you want treatment.

However, if you are in good general health and you’re looking for a non-invasive treatment, this injectable could be perfect for you. It’s great for people who want to reduce signs of aging that they’re seeing, as well as people looking for a preventative measure.
