Wrinkle-Free Without Surgery: Xeomin® Injections Explained
In a world where youthful, vibrant skin is always in style, more people are searching for non-surgical ways to look refreshed and confident. If you’re considering a wrinkle-reducing treatment without the downtime or risks of surgery, Xeomin® injections may be exactly what you’re looking for. At Medicine Four U in Union City, NJ, we specialize in Xeomin® treatments that are safe, effective, and tailored to your aesthetic goals.
Below we’ll explore everything you need to know about Xeomin®, including how it works, its benefits, what to expect during treatment, and how it compares to alternatives like Botox and Dysport. Whether you’re new to cosmetic injectables or just looking for a safer, purer option, this guide will help you make an informed decision.
What Is Xeomin®?
Xeomin® (incobotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved neurotoxin injection used to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet in adults. Like Botox®, it works by blocking the release of chemicals that cause muscle contractions, thereby smoothing out lines and preventing new ones from forming.
What sets Xeomin® apart is its “naked” formulation—it contains no additives or unnecessary proteins. This purity may reduce the risk of developing resistance over time, making it an appealing option for long-term cosmetic use.
How Does Xeomin® Work?
Wrinkles form over time due to repeated facial expressions like squinting, frowning, or raising your eyebrows. These expressions cause your facial muscles to contract and fold the skin, which eventually creates lines even when your face is at rest.
Xeomin® works by temporarily relaxing the targeted facial muscles. When the muscles can’t contract as strongly, the overlying skin appears smoother and more youthful.
Common Treatment Areas Include:
Glabellar lines (frown lines between the eyebrows)
Forehead lines
Crow’s feet (lines around the eyes)
Bunny lines (nose wrinkles)
Downturned corners of the mouth
Chin dimpling
The Benefits of Xeomin® Injections
Patients choose Xeomin® because it offers powerful anti-aging results without surgery or downtime. Here are some of the top benefits:
✅ No Surgery or Downtime
Xeomin® is a minimally invasive procedure with no incisions or anesthesia required. Most patients resume normal activities the same day.
✅ Natural-Looking Results
Because Xeomin® relaxes rather than freezes your facial muscles, the results are smooth and subtle, never “overdone.”
✅ Fast Treatment Time
A typical session takes 15–30 minutes, making it easy to fit into your lunch break or daily routine.
✅ Long-Lasting Results
Results generally last 3–4 months, depending on your individual metabolism, muscle strength, and treatment area.
✅ Fewer Additives
Xeomin® contains only the active botulinum toxin, which may reduce the risk of developing antibodies or building a resistance over time.
✅ Great for Sensitive Skin
The additive-free formula makes Xeomin® a great option for individuals with allergies or sensitivities to other injectables.
How Long Does Xeomin® Take to Work?
While some people start seeing improvements within 3–4 days, the full effect typically takes about 7–10 days. Results last around 12–16 weeks, at which point you may return for a touch-up.
Is Xeomin® Safe?
Yes—Xeomin® is FDA-approved and has been safely used by millions of patients worldwide. At Medicine Four U, we use only trusted, brand-name products and employ experienced medical professionals to ensure optimal safety and results.
