What Is Xeomin?

Xeomin is an FDA-approved neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. Often referred to as a highly purified form of botulinum toxin type A, Xeomin contains no accessory proteins, allowing for precise treatment and rejuvenation. By reducing repetitive muscle movements that contribute to visible lines, Xeomin in Beverly Hills can soften signs of aging while preserving facial expressions and promoting a balanced look.

Xeomin vs. Botox: What’s the Difference?

Xeomin and Botox are both FDA-approved neuromodulators that reduce dynamic wrinkles by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles. While they work similarly, one of the most notable differences is the formulation surrounding the active ingredient.

Xeomin

Often called the “naked” toxin, Xeomin contains only botulinum toxin type A without accessory proteins. This purified formulation may reduce the likelihood of antibody development over time, making it ideal for some patients seeking long-term wrinkle-relaxing treatments.

Botox

Botox contains botulinum toxin type A along with accessory proteins that surround the active ingredient. While highly effective and widely used, these additional proteins may contribute to antibody formation in a small number of patients after repeated treatments over many years.

Comprehensive Xeomin Consultation

Your Xeomin consultation begins with a detailed discussion about your concerns, aesthetic goals, and previous cosmetic treatments. You will review the areas that bother you most, whether that includes forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, or other expression-related wrinkles. Your medical history, current medications, allergies, and overall health are carefully evaluated to ensure Xeomin is an appropriate treatment option.

Next, Dr. Torkian performs a thorough facial assessment, analyzing your facial anatomy, skin quality, muscle movement patterns, and natural expressions. You may be asked to smile, frown, squint, and raise your eyebrows so treatment areas can be precisely identified. Based on this evaluation, a customized treatment plan is developed to create balanced, natural-looking rejuvenation while preserving facial harmony and authentic expression.

Xeomin Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Xeomin take to work?

Most patients begin noticing improvement within three to four days, although full results typically develop over seven to fourteen days. As the targeted muscles gradually relax, dynamic wrinkles appear softer and less pronounced. The timeline can vary depending on the treatment area, muscle strength, and your individual response.

How long do Xeomin results last?

For many patients, results last approximately three to four months. Factors such as metabolism, muscle activity, treatment area, and dosage can influence longevity. Regular maintenance treatments can help preserve a consistently refreshed appearance while preventing deeper expression lines from becoming more noticeable over time.

Will I look frozen or unnatural?

When performed with precision and an advanced understanding of facial anatomy, Xeomin should not make you look frozen. Dr. Behrooz Torkian emphasizes facial harmony and natural expression, carefully tailoring each treatment to your unique muscle movement patterns. The goal is to soften wrinkles while keeping your face expressive and balanced.

Is Xeomin painful?

Most patients describe Xeomin injections as very tolerable. The treatment uses a fine needle, and injections are completed within minutes. You may experience a brief pinching sensation, but discomfort is minimal. Most patients return to normal daily activities immediately afterward.

Can Xeomin prevent wrinkles from worsening?

Yes. By reducing repetitive muscle contractions that contribute to dynamic wrinkles, Xeomin can help limit the deepening of expression lines. Many patients choose ongoing maintenance because they appreciate the corrective and preventative benefits of neuromodulators.
