Xeomin

For those looking for a quick, effective, and non-invasive approach to smoothing wrinkles and frown lines, Xeomin in Worcester works magic. Xeomin is an injectable with an active ingredient called botulinum toxin type A, which is manufactured in a process free of the added proteins found in BOTOX, and the purest molecule. As a result, this injectable is often more effective, and many see the results lasting longer.

What you can expect during your appointment

Your Xeomin in Northborough should take only between 10 and 20 minutes. Dr. Poulos may administer a topical anesthetic to prevent any potential discomfort. Once the anesthesia takes effect, she will inject Xeomin into the targeted areas, such as the muscles in your forehead to address frown lines or the crow’s feet. The active ingredient smooths away fine lines and wrinkles by preventing the contraction of specific muscle strands, without affecting your natural expressiveness.

After your Xeomin treatment

Since Xeomin is a quick, non-invasive treatment, there is essentially no recovery time. However, proper aftercare can help ensure the best possible results:

Do not touch your face for about three hours
Avoid strenuous activity for four to six hours
Do not use makeup for 24 hours
Avoid sun exposure for four hours
Use an ice pack for any bruising

You will begin to see the results of Xeomin about three days after your injections, though it can take up to 30 days to enjoy the final results.

Xeomin FAQ

What side effects might I experience?

Side effects associated with Xeomin are rare. However, the most common side effects are minor bruising or swelling at the injection sites, with other side effects extremely rare. Be sure to reach out to Dr. Poulos if you have any concerns.

How long after my injection can I resume my workout routine?

If you regularly exercise, be sure to wait at least 24 hours before you start working out again. If you exercise too soon, it can increase the risk of bruising or reduce the effectiveness of Xeomin.

Why is aftercare important?

When you follow the aftercare instructions, you ensure a better success rate and reduce any potential for complications. While the aftercare is very minimal, following the rules for a few days will help you achieve the best outcome.

How long does Xeomin last?

The results of your Xeomin treatment can last in the range of three to six months, depending on your lifestyle and your unique physiology, as every individual is different. When the results start to fade, you can return for a touch-up session to continue see the beautiful, smoothing effect.

Is Xeomin safe?

Xeomin is FDA-approved for adult clients, but if you are pregnant or nursing, you must wait to undergo injections, as the product was not tested on pregnant or nursing mothers.

Does Xeomin work better than BOTOX?

Some clients who have relied on BOTOX notice the results are less effective. This can be the result of developing antibodies to the added proteins in the BOTOX formula, and a switch to Xeomin in Worcester can resolve this issue. Others choose Xeomin and they have seen the results last longer.
