Schedule a ConsultationWhat is Xeomin®?
Xeomin is an FDA-approved injectable that selectively limits muscle motions on the brow and around the eyes. The active ingredient is incobotulinumtoxinA, a neurotoxin which has been developed as a cosmetic treatment.
The smoothing effect of Xeomin
Xeomin is a protein that we can carefully inject into specific facial muscles to decrease the constant muscle motion leading to facial lines and wrinkles on the brow, and around the eyes. Like BOTOX, Xeomin smooths the prominence of existing frown lines, forehead furrows or crow’s feet. In order to maintain results, treatment must be repeated about every three to four months. Many people count on Xeomin treatments to continue to look younger by smoothing facial lines.
Is Xeomin safe?
Xeomin is manufactured by Merz Pharmaceuticals and has been used by more than 84,000 people worldwide. It is now approved for use in 20 countries. The active ingredient in Xeomin is the same as BOTOX, but it has a difference: Xeomin does not contain any additives. For some, this may be a benefit, as you can avoid the risk of developing antibodies that reduce the effectiveness of treatment.
What is the cost of Xeomin® in Grand Rapids?
The introductory price of Xeomin® at our Grand Rapids office ranges between $10 and $12 per unit. All injections are performed by our highly trained expert injectors who have advanced training in injectables.
How does Xeomin work?
Xeomin’s active ingredient works to halt the nerve signals to certain facial muscles for a smoothing effect. While the product smooths the brow, creases between your brows, or crow’s feet, the skill of your injector has everything to do with results, as you want to appear younger, refreshed, and natural, not a “frozen” appearance. This requires a full understanding of facial muscle structure so that the product is injected correctly to create a very natural look. You can trust our team of medical professionals to inject Xeomin correctly.
Why should I choose Xeomin®?
Looking younger and improving facial appearance often may be attained through non-surgical solutions such as using Xeomin or in conjunction with facial plastic surgery or other procedures and skincare products and treatments. Decreasing animation and frown lines can make you look less tired and angry creating a fresher, brighter, younger look.
