Xeomin® Treatment
Xeomin® Treatment in Waterloo, IA
Xeomin® is a uniquely purified toxin without proteins. This means the chance of toxin resistance over time is reduced, as is the chance of an inflammatory or allergic reaction if you had a previous reaction to botulinum toxin injections.
Xeomin® can be utilized to temporarily smooth moderate-to-severe forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows (the elevens) in adults. It can also be used as a treatment for bunny lines, gummy smiles, down-turning of the mouth, performing the lip flip, and for the treatment of TMJ pain/masseter reduction.
Evolve Aesthetics and Regenerative Medicine offers a wide range of injectables and free consultations to find the perfect combination for our clients.
FAQ's
What Can I Expect During A Typical Treatment?
Your aesthetic specialist will perform a consultation to determine the optimal Botox® dosing to get the look you want. A small needle is used to inject the Botox® into the targeted muscle and may feel like a pinch.
Will I Look Like Myself After Xeomin®?
Absolutely! Just with fewer wrinkles. You should not lose the ability to show expression when treated by a trained aesthetic specialist.
What Is the Downtime Post-Xeomin® Treatment?
There is no significant downtime. However, we do advise patients to limit certain activities post-injection to prevent the Xeomin® from moving from the area of injection. No laying flat or strenuous exercise for 6 hours post-injection. No massage or manipulation of the tissues, and no hats for 12 hours post-injection.
What Are the Common Side Effects?
The most common side effects reported include redness and swelling at the injection site. Mild bruising and bleeding could also occur. A mild headache is also a common reported side effect. Other possible side effects include eyelid heaviness or brow drooping.
Other rare side effects that have been reported include dry mouth, double vision, blurred vision, dry eyes, and allergic reactions.
How long before I see results?
You may see results within 24-48 hours; however, most patients see full results 7–10 days after their initial injection. If the desired result is not seen after 2 weeks of your treatment, you may need additional Xeomin®.
How Long Does Xeomin® Last?
Results can vary, but typically take 3 months.
What Is The Typical Cost Of Xeomin®?
The final cost is dependent on the number of units required after a thorough consultation with your experienced aesthetic injector. Xeomin® is priced at $12.00 per unit. $11.00/unit pricing is available with the Tox membership and other select Evolve exclusive memberships.
Who Should Not Receive Xeomin®?
You should not receive Xeomin® if you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Likewise, those with muscle or nerve conditions (such as ALS, myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton syndrome, multiple sclerosis, etc.) should speak with their provider before pursuing Xeomin® injections. Please inform your provider if you have had a previous allergic reaction to botulinum toxin or any of the other ingredients in Xeomin®.
