How Xeomin Works
Assessment & History Review
Your provider reviews your neurotoxin history (which products, how long, any reduced response) and assesses facial muscle activity to plan the optimal treatment.
Reconstitution
Xeomin requires refrigeration only after reconstitution. The powder is mixed with sterile saline to the provider's specified concentration.
Injection
Using a fine needle, small amounts of Xeomin are precisely injected into target muscles. The procedure takes 15-30 minutes.
Follow-Up
Results appear within 3-7 days. A 2-week follow-up allows for assessment and any needed touch-up.

Xeomin vs. Alternatives
| Treatment | Key Difference |
|---|---|
| XeominCurrent | $250–$700 per treatment area · 15–30 minutes · None |
| Botox | Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) contains accessory proteins that some long-term users develop antibodies to. Xeomin's pure formulation may maintain effectiveness longer for these patients. |
| Dysport | Dysport spreads more widely and activates faster. Xeomin is more localized like Botox. Both are alternatives if Botox loses effectiveness over time. |

Frequently Asked Questions about Xeomin
What makes Xeomin different from Botox?
Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) contains only the pure botulinum toxin molecule without the accessory proteins in Botox and Dysport. This "naked" formulation may reduce the chance of developing antibodies that make the toxin less effective over time.
Does Xeomin last longer than Botox?
Some clinical studies report Xeomin lasting 3-6 months — potentially longer than Botox's average of 3-4 months. Individual results vary based on metabolism and muscle activity.
Who should choose Xeomin over Botox?
Xeomin is particularly beneficial for patients who have used Botox for many years and notice it wearing off faster — a sign of potential antibody formation. Switching to Xeomin's pure formulation may restore full effectiveness.
How is the Xeomin dosage different?
Xeomin uses a 1:1 unit ratio with Botox — the same number of units provides equivalent results, making it straightforward to transition between the two without dose adjustments.
Is Xeomin FDA-approved?
Yes — Xeomin is FDA-approved for glabellar lines (frown lines between the brows) and has been used safely in over 84 countries for both cosmetic and therapeutic applications.
