When you squint or frown, the muscles between your eyebrows contract, causing the skin to furrow and fold. Over time, as your skin ages and loses some of its elasticity, these repeated contractions can cause persistent frown lines. XEOMIN® can help eliminate those unsightly lines.
XEOMIN® is a prescription medication used to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the in adults. The active ingredient on XEOMIN is botulinum toxin type A, a protein purified from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.
During treatment, which usually takes about 10-20 minutes, XEOMIN is injected into the muscles in your forehead that cause frown lines between your eyebrows. No anesthesia is required; however, we may use a topical anesthetic or cold pack to reduce any discomfort you may experience.
The effects of Xeomin typically occur within one week, and the results last from three to six months, making it comparable to Botox.
