What is Xeomin®?

Xeomin is the brand name of pure form of botulinum toxin that doesn’t have any protein additives. Because it is a purified structure, it can prevent antibody resistance, which is what many routine BOTOX patients experience over time. This reduces the achievement of optimal results the more treatments you receive. With Xeomin, this won’t be an issue.

As you age, your muscles will become overworked, causing them to bunch up. When this happens, it creates unwanted wrinkles and fine lines, or even tension and muscle spasms. When injected into certain facial muscles, like ones near the jaw, around the mouth, or at the corners of the eyes, it’s able to relax them and smooth them out. By encouraging the muscles to relax, Xeomin is able to minimize these cosmetic issues, improving the overall appearance and function of your face.

The process of receiving Xeomin injections is relatively simple and fast. At your appointment, your BOTOX dentist in Arlington Heights will discuss the goals that you’d like to achieve with treatment. Then, our team will map out where we plan on placing the injections for optimal results. Each injection only takes a couple of minutes to administer, so treatments typically last no longer than an hour.
