Xeomin

A Popular Botox Alternative With Great Results

Xeomin offers a simple solution for reducing “11 lines”—the two vertical lines that form between the eyebrows due to aging and facial expressions. Officially known as glabellar lines, these dynamic wrinkles develop as facial muscles contract and relax over time. If you’re looking to eliminate these lines, Xeomin at New York Minimally Invasive Surgery provides a comfortable and welcoming environment for effective treatment.

What is Xeomin?

Xeomin (ZEE-oh-min) is an effective treatment for muscle stiffness, eye disorders, migraines, and excessive salivation. Like Botox, it reduces wrinkles by relaxing muscles and is FDA-approved for frown lines between the eyebrows. Produced by Merz Pharmaceuticals, Xeomin blocks nerve signals to temporarily reduce muscle activity, with tens of thousands of patients benefiting worldwide.

The Difference Between Xeomin and Botox

Xeomin

Xeomin operates using the same mechanism as Botox but does not contain any additives or foreign proteins. This absence of unnecessary components may offer advantages for patients, particularly those with sensitivities or allergies, making it a potentially better treatment option for some individuals.

Botox

Botox works by blocking signals from nerves to muscles, causing the muscles to relax and smoothing out wrinkles. It contains inactive proteins that accompany its active ingredients, which are not essential for the drug’s function. Despite this, Botox treatments typically yield successful and excellent results.

What to Expect

Dr. Marina Kurian and her team at New York Minimally Invasive Surgery provide expert Xeomin treatments, effectively targeting dynamic wrinkles. Patients notice improvements within 72 hours, with peak results in four to six weeks lasting for months.

Possible Side Effects

Like all cosmetic procedures, Xeomin treatments carry potential side effects, including drooping eyelids, dry eyes, injection site pain, dry mouth, muscle weakness, and neck pain. Patients with pre-existing conditions may experience additional risks, which will be discussed during your consultation.
