Xeomin injections to fight fine lines and wrinkles
If you are unhappy with the natural formation of fine lines and wrinkles on the face as you age, you are not alone. At Cassie Lane Aesthetics in Richmond, Virginia, we are here to help you to look and feel your best in ways that do not require surgical intervention. That includes the use of aesthetic injectables that are great for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and delaying a patient’s need for surgeries such as browlifts and facelifts. One of these injectables is Xeomin, a neuromodulator that reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and imperfections of the facial skin in a single appointment.
How does Xeomin work?
Xeomin is similar to other products such as Botox and Dysport, which are other botulinum toxin Type A injectables. This injection is used to treat many specific issues on the face that contribute to an aged appearance, including forehead wrinkles, glabellar line treatment, and under-eye imperfections. It works because it is injected into the muscles that create fine lines and wrinkles, particularly dynamic wrinkles. It reduces the muscle’s ability to tighten and contract, therefore smoothing away these wrinkles and folds. Patients will find that the results are seen within a few days after the first appointment and can be maintained with regular injections every three to four months.
Is Xeomin a dermal filler?
Another popular cosmetic injectable treatment available with aestheticians is dermal fillers. However, Xeomin and other neuromodulators work differently than dermal fillers. Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are injected into wrinkles and folds to smooth the skin. However, they are not a medication that reduces muscle contractions, working differently than Xeomin products. However, Xeomin may be combined with dermal fillers for a more dramatic improvement.
Why we love Xeomin:
Xeomin is also known as the “Puretox” as it has no additional additives or proteins. This leads to a less “heavy” or “frozen” akak more natural looking result. This is a great product choice when you are new to this type of treatment.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How is Xeomin Different from Botox or Dysport?
Xeomin, Botox, and Dysport are all popular treatments that use botulinum toxin type A to help smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, but each product has its unique qualities that set it apart. The primary differences among these options include their formulations, strength, and how quickly they begin to take effect.
Among these treatments, we have a special fondness for Xeomin due to its lightweight, natural feel. One of the standout features of Xeomin is that it is free from extra proteins, which means you get pure and effective wrinkle-smoothing power. This makes it an excellent choice for those seeking a more natural look while still achieving fantastic results.
Where Can Xeomin Be Injected?
Xeomin is a fantastic solution for softening facial wrinkles and fine lines, helping you achieve a refreshed appearance. It is commonly used to treat the following areas:
- Forehead lines, which can give away your age
- Frown lines, often called “11s,” that can make you look unapproachable
- Crow’s feet, which commonly develop at the outer corners of the eyes
- Wrinkles around the mouth that can affect your smile
If you’re uncertain whether Xeomin is the right choice, don’t hesitate to reach out! Our team at Cassie Lane Aesthetics is here to support you. We will work closely with you to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and goals, ensuring you feel confident and beautiful.
How Long Does Xeomin Last?
Results typically last approximately three to four months; however, this duration can vary depending on individual factors such as age, metabolism, and muscle activity. Many clients find that with consistent treatments, they enjoy longer-lasting results. We encourage regular visits to help you maintain your desired outcomes and support your overall well-being.
Is There Any Downtime After Xeomin?
Not really! Most people find they can quickly return to their daily routine without issues. For the first day, remember to avoid heavy workouts and touching the treated area. This will help everything settle in nicely and ensure the best possible results. Take care of yourself, and you’ll be back to normal in no time!
Are There Any Side Effects?
Side effects are usually mild and temporary, like slight redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection site—these fade quickly. In rare cases, side effects like a droopy eyelid or uneven smile can occur, so always discuss any concerns with your provider before treatment.
Can Xeomin Be Used Preventatively?
Yes! Preventative Xeomin is an effective treatment that can help delay the formation of deeper wrinkles by relaxing the muscles responsible for creating fine lines. The best wrinkle is the one you never get! This approach is a wonderful way to stay ahead of the natural aging process and maintain smooth, youthful skin for longer. By incorporating Xeomin into your skin care regimen, you can feel more confident in your appearance and avoid the dreaded “resting bothered face.”
Can I Combine Xeomin with Other Treatments?
Absolutely, you can combine Xeomin with other treatments! We enjoy designing personalized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs. Pairing Xeomin with options like a chemical peel, dermal fillers, or light laser treatments can achieve even more remarkable results. We’re here to help you look and feel your best!
