IncobotulinumtoxinA is isolated and then injected to reduce glabellar lines. Unlike alternatives such as Botox, it does not contain an accessory protein. Xeomin can make it an appealing option for clients who may be sensitive to the proteins found in Botox.
All the times we frown or squint in the sun can catch up to us and leave their mark as frown lines. Xeomin corrects this by restricting muscle contraction in the localized area that it is injected into. This, in turn, eases and opens up your face, and reduces the appearance of frown lines. While not always instant, you can expect results from your treatment fairly quickly.
Most patients will see visible results within a week of their injections, with some reporting results three to four days after their treatment. The first thing you can expect to notice is your skin beginning to smooth over, as the frown lines fade out. Your results will involve relaxing the muscles on your face and smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, both of which will create a more youthful visage.
Some patients may notice results in as little as 5 days. How quickly you notice results will depend on how well you are responding to the treatment. Neurotoxins are a novelty in the cosmetics industry. Ever since Botox became available as a cosmetic treatment for patients seeking anti-aging solutions, neurotoxins have been the backbone of many cosmetic treatment plans.
All neurotoxins work in the same way, which means that they are each an injectable treatment. Injections are made in targeted locations on the face, such as the forehead, to help you achieve your aesthetic goal. In principle, the basic idea for neurotoxins as a cosmetic treatment is the tactical application of chemicals like botulinum toxin, which are known toxins that interfere with the regular communication of neurons.
In the case of botulinum toxin, this is a neurotoxin that modulates the way neurotransmitters related to muscle movement communicate with each other. Because botulinum toxin inhibits the response of muscles in the face, wrinkles caused by facial movements can relax.
The main difference between this injectable treatment and Botox is in the chemical formulation. The trace proteins in Botox help bind the neurotoxin to blood and tissue, which essentially helps the injections stay in place. For Xeomin, those proteins are absent, which means this neurotoxin injectable has a bit more freedom in how it settles in the muscle.
However, the fact that there are multiple neurotoxin treatments to choose from would suggest that there is one specific formula that works best with your unique body composition. Steven Dayan is a true expert who will help you determine which neurotoxin treatment is ideal for your aesthetic goals, as well as which neurotoxin injectable works best for you to produce the results you want.
Patients who are old-hat at cosmetic treatments, particularly patients who have used neurotoxins in the past, might already be aware of the wisdom in alternating between different neurotoxins. For example, because Dysport is the most effective for about 4 to 6 treatments in a row, many patients alternate Dysport and Botox to prolong result efficacy and to avoid building up a tolerance to the treatment.
However, most of the tolerance from neurotoxin treatments is the result of the trace proteins in the injection, which binds to enzymes produced by your body, which creates the opportunity for your body to build up a tolerance to those proteins over time. You may not have this problem with Xeomin because the formula does not contain added proteins.
You absolutely can use neurotoxin treatments with other cosmetic treatments, and in fact, for many patients, this is the best way to achieve all of your aesthetic goals. Combining treatments is particularly useful if you have multiple appearance-related concerns that cannot be addressed by a single treatment.
Some cosmetic treatments commonly combined with this one include:. Vivian Bucay. Bucay to give us all the details on how the treatment works, who is the best candidate, and what differs between this formula and its injectable counterparts. Read on for your crash course in the treatment, either if you're considering it, or for the sake of pure curiosity. Xeomin is a form of botulism toxin that is used to block muscle movement in areas that contribute to wrinkles. It is used in the forehead, typically between the brows to soften frown lines.
Dermal fillers, another type of injectable treatment that our practice offers, are often called on to help with easing the appearance of static wrinkles. This injectable is a convenient, non-invasive wrinkle-fighting option.
A single treatment, which often involves a series of injections, can be performed in our office in less than an hour. This injectable was approved by the FDA in and has been safely used ever since. These cosmetic treatments are a lot alike. Botox has been around longer and is the better known of the two, but both injectables effectively smooth over lines and wrinkles for months at a time. The primary difference lies in their chemical formulation.
Botox, meanwhile, contains additives and proteins as well as botulinum toxin. Those additives and proteins make it slightly more possible that patients could experience an allergic reaction to Botox or build up a resistance to it after years of use. One of the reasons this injectable is so popular is that it delivers great results quickly.
Most patients begin to see their results in about four days, which is just slightly longer than with Botox, which offers signs of improvement within 72 hours. Both injectables last anywhere from three to six months, and you can opt to schedule another treatment when the first one wears off.
Treatments with this injectable are nothing to worry about. Patients are generally surprised at just how quick, comfortable, and easy the entire process is. There will be very few limitations placed on you after treatment.
We usually ask patients to avoid lying down for four hours and refrain from rubbing their face for 12 hours.
