If you have been noticing fine lines, frown lines, or forehead wrinkles that make you look more tired or older than you feel, Xeomin may be the solution you have been looking for. At Rejuvify Med Spa in Los Angeles, we offer Xeomin injections administered by experienced injectors who take a personalized, results-driven approach to every treatment.

What Is Xeomin?

Xeomin (incobotulinum toxin A) is an FDA-approved injectable neuromodulator used to temporarily reduce the appearance of moderate to severe facial wrinkles. It works by relaxing the underlying muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, which are the lines that form from repeated facial movements such as squinting, frowning, and smiling.

Unlike some other neuromodulators, Xeomin is a "naked" injectable, meaning it contains only the pure active ingredient without any complexing proteins. This formulation makes it a highly pure option and may reduce the likelihood of the body developing resistance over time, which can sometimes occur with other neuromodulators.

Xeomin has been used safely in over 84 countries worldwide and is backed by extensive clinical research, making it one of the most well-established wrinkle treatments available today.

How Does Xeomin Work?

Xeomin works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that cause specific facial muscles to contract. When these muscles relax, the overlying skin becomes smoother and the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines is visibly reduced.

Dynamic wrinkles, unlike static wrinkles that are present even at rest, are caused by repetitive muscle movement over time. Common examples include the frown lines between the eyebrows (also called the "11s"), horizontal forehead lines, and crow's feet around the eyes. Xeomin targets these specific muscles precisely, leaving surrounding areas unaffected.

The results are natural-looking and subtle. You will still be able to make full facial expressions; your face will simply appear more rested, refreshed, and youthful.

Treatment Areas

Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines): The vertical lines that form between the eyebrows when you furrow your brow are among the most common concerns treated with Xeomin. These are often called the "11s" because of the two parallel lines they create. Xeomin is FDA-approved specifically for the treatment of moderate to severe glabellar lines.

Forehead Lines: Horizontal lines across the forehead develop over years of raising your eyebrows. Xeomin softens these lines by relaxing the frontalis muscle, giving the forehead a smoother, more relaxed appearance.

Crow's Feet: The fine lines that fan out from the corners of the eyes, known as crow's feet, are a natural result of smiling and squinting. Xeomin injections in this area can significantly soften these lines, helping the eyes appear more refreshed and youthful.

Brow Lift: Strategic Xeomin injections can be used to subtly elevate the brows, creating a more open, lifted appearance to the eyes without surgery. This is often combined with forehead or glabellar treatments for a comprehensive rejuvenation effect.

Lip Lines (Perioral Lines): Vertical lines that form around the lips, sometimes called smoker's lines or lip lines, can be softened with small, precise Xeomin injections. This is often paired with lip filler for a comprehensive perioral treatment.

Bunny Lines: The diagonal lines that appear on the sides of the nose when you scrunch your face are called bunny lines. Xeomin can smooth these subtle but noticeable lines with just a small amount of product.

Neck Bands (Platysmal Bands: For patients looking to address the vertical bands that appear on the neck with age, Xeomin injections can relax the platysma muscle, producing a smoother and more youthful neck contour. This is often referred to as a Nefertiti neck lift.

Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis): While not a cosmetic concern, Xeomin can also be used therapeutically to treat hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating in areas such as the underarms, hands, and feet. The injections block the nerve signals that trigger sweat glands, providing significant relief for several months.

Are You a Good Candidate for Xeomin?

Xeomin is suitable for most healthy adults who are bothered by dynamic facial wrinkles and are looking for a non-surgical option to refresh their appearance. You may be a good candidate if you:

•   Are 18 years of age or older
•   Have moderate to severe dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement
•   Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
•   Do not have a known allergy to botulinum toxin or any of the product's ingredients
•   Do not have a neuromuscular disorder such as ALS or myasthenia gravis
•   Have realistic expectations and understand that results are temporary

Xeomin may not be ideal for patients whose wrinkles are primarily static, meaning they are visible even without muscle movement. In those cases, dermal fillers may be more appropriate, either alone or in combination with Xeomin.

A thorough consultation with one of our licensed injectors will help determine whether Xeomin is the right treatment for you.

What to Expect: Your Xeomin Experience at Rejuvify Med Spa

Consultation

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. Your injector will review your medical history, discuss your aesthetic goals, assess your facial anatomy and muscle movement, and create a personalized treatment plan. This is the time to ask any questions you may have and to set clear, realistic expectations for your results.

Preparation

Before your appointment, your injector may recommend you avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and vitamin E for at least one week prior to treatment. This helps minimize bruising. You should also arrive to your appointment with clean, makeup-free skin.

The Treatment

The actual Xeomin injection process is quick and straightforward. Your injector will use a very fine needle to administer small amounts of Xeomin into the targeted muscles. Most patients find the discomfort to be minimal, often describing it as a slight pinch. A topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand if desired.

The entire appointment typically takes 15 to 30 minutes, making it easy to fit into a lunch break or a busy schedule. No sedation or anesthesia is required.

Recovery

One of the most appealing aspects of Xeomin is that there is virtually no downtime. Most patients return to their normal daily activities immediately after treatment. You may notice minor redness, swelling, or small bumps at the injection sites, but these typically resolve within a few hours.

To support the best possible results, we recommend the following after your treatment:

•   Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours
•   Stay upright for at least four hours after the procedure
•   Avoid vigorous exercise for 24 hours
•   Avoid excessive heat, including saunas and hot showers, for 24 hours
•   Do not undergo facials or facial massages for at least two weeks

Results

Most patients begin to notice the effects of Xeomin within three to five days of treatment. Full results typically become visible within two weeks. You can expect your results to last approximately three to four months, after which muscle activity gradually returns and the treatment can be repeated.

With consistent treatments over time, many patients find that their results last longer as the targeted muscles become trained to remain more relaxed.

Combining Xeomin with Other Treatments

Xeomin works beautifully on its own, but it can also be paired with complementary treatments for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation approach. Some of the most popular combinations include:

Xeomin and Dermal Fillers

While Xeomin addresses dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement, dermal fillers restore volume and smooth static lines. Together, they address both types of aging for a more complete result. This combination is sometimes referred to as a liquid facelift.

Xeomin and Microneedling

Microneedling stimulates collagen production and improves skin texture, tone, and firmness. When combined with Xeomin, patients can address both surface-level skin quality and the deeper muscle movement that causes wrinkles.

Xeomin and Laser Treatments

Laser resurfacing and skin rejuvenation treatments can target sun damage, pigmentation, and uneven skin tone. Pairing these with Xeomin provides a layered approach to skin health and anti-aging.

Your injector will help you design a combination treatment plan that safely addresses your full range of concerns while respecting your timeline, budget, and goals.
