5 Facts About XEOMIN for Anti-Aging

XEOMIN

You may hate to admit it, but you are going to show some signs of aging at some point in your life. Wrinkles and frown lines on the face are nearly impossible to avoid due to the natural movement of muscles on your forehead. If you do not want to deal with these common signs of aging, then you should consider XEOMIN® injections at our med spa in San Antonio. There are various reasons why this is such an amazing anti-aging treatment.

Great Alternative to BOTOX®

XEOMIN® is the most popular alternative for people looking for an anti-aging treatment other than BOTOX®. While both products use the same active ingredient, XEOMIN® is actually much better for your body. The active ingredient in XEOMIN® injections is used in its pure state. BOTOX® adds extra proteins to the injection mixture. Since XEOMIN® is used in its pure state, it does not have to be refrigerated. The warmer injection is much more comfortable than a cold BOTOX® injection.

Effectively Prevents Lines on the Forehead

These injections can effectively prevent the formation of frown lines, wrinkles and crow’s feet. The active ingredient in the injections blocks the nerve signals in your body. This helps prevent the muscles in your forehead from causing wrinkles and fine lines.

Long-Lasting Results

A XEOMIN® treatment from Spa Black is a great way to prevent aging because you will be able to maintain the amazing results for a long time. While one treatment session may provide noticeable results for approximately four months or so, you can create a treatment plan at our office to maintain the smoother skin for a longer time. Consistently getting XEOMIN® treatments is the perfect way to make sure you never see your smooth skin fade away.

Relatively Short Treatment Time

Since you will be coming to our med spa in San Antonio multiple times a year, you will be pleased to know that you will not be required to spend much time at our office. We can usually complete a XEOMIN® treatment session in less than one hour. This short treatment time means that you will only have to spend a little bit of time in our med spa every year to maintain your beautiful skin.

Almost No Side Effects

You can expect to only experience a few minor side effects after getting a XEOMIN® treatment at Spa Black. These minor side effects are normal and should disappear in the days after your treatment session.

Now that you know some more about the benefits of these injections, make an appointment at Spa Black in San Antonio. We will be able to answer any questions you may have about this great anti-aging treatment. Contact us today to schedule a consultation!

XEOMIN: The Better BOTOX

BOTOX

BOTOX® is currently one of the most popular treatments for fine line and wrinkle reduction in the cosmetic industry. XEOMIN®, however, is definitely giving BOTOX® a run for its money. XEOMIN® is a much purer version of the BOTOX® solution and is reported to work faster, last longer and to pose fewer threats of side effects. Both solutions are purified protein solutions that temporarily relax the muscles responsible for facial expression. This, in turn, releases tension in the muscle tissues and causes surface wrinkles to relax. There are some definite benefits that can be gained by choosing XEOMIN® for fine line and wrinkle reduction over BOTOX®.

XEOMIN® Has Fewer Ingredients

While quite similar to BOTOX® in a variety of ways, the first advantage that XEOMIN® is reported to have is a much simpler formulation. With fewer ingredients and no unnecessary additives, XEOMIN® is less likely to cause unpleasant, allergic reactions or side effects. If you have experienced prolonged swelling, redness or inflammation as the result of BOTOX® injections, switching to XEOMIN® could help you to get the desired treatment results, minus a number of unpleasant complications.

Your Body is Less Likely to Develop a Resistance to XEOMIN®

In addition to a larger number of additives and a slightly higher risk of side effects, BOTOX® is also more likely to result in the body rejecting treatment than the pure-form solution that is XEOMIN®. People who regularly use BOTOX® to maintain smooth and line-free appearances often develop antibodies to the product. Over time, this can disqualify them as suitable candidates for the procedure. Fortunately, the XEOMIN® solution can be a safe and equally effective alternative in these instances.

What to Expect with XEOMIN® Injections

During your procedure at our med spa in San Antonio, our experienced specialist will skillfully inject the solution in areas with visible fine lines and wrinkling. While these treatments can produce immediate improvements in fine lines and wrinkles across the visage, the full effects are not likely to manifest for up to one week.

Aftercare for XEOMIN®

Anti-aging treatments using XEOMIN® are considered to be non-invasive. These procedures require absolutely no tissue removal, recovery time or incisions. Once your injections are complete, you will be free to leave our spa in San Antonio and can return to work or most other scheduled activities right away.

Eliminate Facial Wrinkles with XEOMIN

XEOMIN®

XEOMIN® is a new type of wrinkle treatment that is being used at our med spa in San Antonio. According to research, it can be quite effective for reducing the appearance of frown lines that sit between the eyebrows.

As you age, your skin loses elasticity, and you’ll start to experience a number of facial creases. Over time, these facial lines become permanent.

XEOMIN® can be an effective treatment because it’s very similar to BOTOX®. By relaxing the muscles, it’s able to temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles. The injections are safe and don’t take long to complete. This injectable can even be used for moderate and severe frown lines.

How XEOMIN® Works

This product is used to fix facial wrinkles. Like BOTOX®, it must be injected into specific areas of the face, and it will cause select muscles to relax. XEOMIN® limits the target muscles from being able to contract fully, which produces a smoothing effect for the muscles.

The treatment can be especially effective for frown lines. This treatment is very similar to BOTOX® because once it has been injected into the target facial muscles, it will prevent the muscles from fully contracting.

However, it doesn’t affect facial muscles that don’t receive an injection. It’s important to know that the effects aren’t instantaneous. After the procedure, you’ll notice gradual results, and you might have to wait a week to see the full benefits of the procedure.

The Latest Treatment for Facial Wrinkles and Lines

XEOMIN® is the newest injectable for the treatment of wrinkles. Since it’s very similar to BOTOX®, it can effectively treat dynamic wrinkles. Some examples of dynamic wrinkles are furrows that sit between the eyebrows, fine lines that develop near the eyes and forehead lines.

Depending on your appearance, this injectable has the potential to give you dramatic results. By relaxing the target muscles, it can make you look younger and more attractive.

The biggest difference between XEOMIN® and similar products is the molecular structure. Unlike BOTOX® and Dysport®, this new product doesn’t contain protein additives.

The major benefit of this difference is for patients who’ve stopped responding to BOTOX® treatments. A number of patients develop antibodies for BOTOX®, which can render the treatments ineffective. Since it doesn’t have the same protein additives, XEOMIN® can be used to solve this problem.

What Does It Treat?

This procedure can treat crow’s feet, forehead lines and frown lines. It works best for dynamic facial wrinkles. The benefits from the procedure can last anywhere from three to six months. If you’ve received BOTOX® treatments and they’re no longer effective for you, XEOMIN® is an ideal solution. However, even if you’ve never received BOTOX® or Dysport® injections, you should still see benefits from XEOMIN®.

Do You Look Angry and Tired? XEOMIN May Be Right for You!

XEOMIN(R)

When people look at us, they make decisions about us based solely on our appearance. It’s not always fair and the decisions they make about us are not always correct, but these decisions are what determine the way that people will interact with us. For example, if as a result of stress, aging and environmental factors, your face has a tired, worn out or even angry appearance, people are going to treat you negatively. You could be the nicest person in the world, but if when people look at you, they think that you’re always angry, they’re going to avoid you. When your boss looks at you and he thinks that you’re so tired and so worn out because of the work you’re doing, he may overlook you when it comes to a promotion or to giving out more responsibility. For this reason, many people have turned to XEOMIN® as a way to restore their facial appearance, to make them look more rested and to make them look happier.

XEOMIN® is one of the newest products to be approved by the FDA for cosmetic use. It serves as a viable alternative to BOTOX®. A person might ask, since BOTOX® is so popular, why is there a need for an alternative? BOTOX® contains an accessory protein in order to carry the powerful solution. Over time, the human body can build up a resistance to this protein, which diminishes the results a person gets when they use BOTOX® repeatedly. XEOMIN® does not have this accessory protein. As a result, the body does not build up a resistance to it. It can be used multiple times and still produce the same level of results. Also, there is no chance of people developing an allergic reaction.

XEOMIN® can be used for wrinkles on the forehead, around the nose and around the mouth. The results from using XEOMIN® will usually last from between three to six months. The product works by reducing the contractions the muscles in your face make when you smile or frown. This is because the contractions that your muscles make either from smiling or frowning are what give you dynamic wrinkles. These dynamic wrinkles are what can make you look tired or angry, even if you are the happiest, most well-rested person in the world.

Some may ask, since XEOMIN® is the newest product for this type of cosmetic procedure, is it safe? The answer is absolutely yes. Before receiving FDA approval in 2011, XEOMIN® went through multiple studies involving more than 500 people. The average age of the individuals involved in the study was 46 years. The product was assessed not only by the patient who received treatment, but also by the physician who oversaw the treatment. In both cases, the results were resoundingly positive.

XEOMIN® is an injectable procedure that is drastically changing the way people look and feel. XEOMIN® helps individuals make a good first impression on others and helps to improve the way they view themselves. Located in San Antonio, Spa Black proudly offers XEOMIN® injectables as a safe, effective, non-surgical way to look and feel happy and awake rather than angry and tired. Contact our office today to schedule your appointment to learn more about how XEOMIN® can benefit you.

XEOMIN vs BOTOX for Nonsurgical Wrinkle Relaxation

BOTOX

Both XEOMIN® and BOTOX® are injectable “neuromodulators,” which means they can temporarily relax muscles. Consequently, wrinkles caused by muscular contractions are reduced or eradicated.

Both are most commonly used to treat facial wrinkles. They can also be used to treat non-cosmetic problems like migraines or excessive sweating.

Since BOTOX® and XEOMIN® operate by blocking nerve impulses, they are not recommended for people with neurological disorders. Women who are pregnant or nursing should also not use either

What is XEOMIN®?

XEOMIN® is a “naked” neuromodulator, which means it doesn’t have any additives. It therefore does not need to be refrigerated when being shipped, making it easier to store or transport than BOTOX® is. As a result, it can be less expensive than BOTOX®. The lack of additives also means that XEOMIN® is less likely to cause an allergic reaction.

XEOMIN® was cleared by the FDA to lessen the frown lines between the eyebrows. While some dermatologists do use it to treat other kinds of wrinkles, the FDA has not yet approved such uses. On the other hand, the FDA has approved using XEOMIN® to treat various conditions and some nerve disorders affecting the eye muscles.

When used to treat wrinkles, XEOMIN® generally produces results within a week, and those results can last for six months.

What is BOTOX®?

BOTOX® is also a neuromodulator. It also contains a protein that helps preserve it. This also means that it takes a bit longer than XEOMIN® to start showing results. As with XEOMIN®, those results also last for around six months.

Since BOTOX® has been around for much longer than XEOMIN® has, doctors and scientists have found more uses for it than they have for Xeomin. Like XEOMIN®, BOTOX® can be used to treat cervical dystonia and nerve disorders affecting the eye muscles. It can also be used to treat overactive bladder, migraines, excessive sweating, and stiff muscles in the elbows, wrists or fingers.

As a cosmetic, BOTOX® has been cleared by the FDA to treat more types of wrinkles than XEOMIN®. While XEOMIN® is designed to treat the frown lines between the brows, BOTOX® can also be used to treat forehead lines, crows’ feet, and lines around the neck.

How else do BOTOX® and XEOMIN® differ?

BOTOX® and XEOMIN® were developed and made by different companies. BOTOX® is produced by Allergan while XEOMIN® is made by Merz. BOTOX® is the oldest drug of its type and was approved by the FDA in 2002. XEOMIN® is much newer; it was approved by the FDA in 2010.

XEOMIN: The New BOTOX

Xeomin

What Is XEOMIN®?

XEOMIN® is a treatment that is made out of incobotulinumtoxinA. It is designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Some people refer to XEOMIN® as the new BOTOX®. It is estimated that XEOMIN® has been approved in more than 20 countries.

XEOMIN® is very similar to BOTOX®. Both treatments work by paralyzing the muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

How Long Do The Results Of XEOMIN® Last?

The results of XEOMIN® last three to six months, which is about the same as BOTOX®. Some patients will notice that the results last longer than six months. Keep in mind that the full results of XEOMIN® will not be noticed immediately. It takes about three to seven days to notice the full results of XEOMIN®. As you continue with XEOMIN® treatments, the muscles will become trained to stay relaxed. This will keep new wrinkles from forming, and you will require fewer treatments.

Is XEOMIN® Safe?

XEOMIN® is a very safe treatment. When it is administered by a trained professional, the chances of developing adverse side effects are low. The most common side effects are bruising and bleeding.

Am I A Good Candidate For XEOMIN®?

You will need to schedule a consultation with our staff in order to determine whether you are a good candidate for XEOMIN®. This treatment is not right for people who are pregnant or nursing. We will work with you to determine the most effective treatment plan for your individual needs.

During your consultation, we will discuss any medications that you are taking. There are certain medications that we recommend you stop taking – like blood thinners – before getting XEOMIN®. Blood thinners make you more susceptible to bruising and bleeding.

Benefits of XEOMIN®

Many benefits can be reaped from XEOMIN®. Designed primarily to address the frown lines in the forehead, XEOMIN® can help give you a younger appearance. These lines form over time and can become severe. With XEOMIN®, the underlying muscles are relaxed and these lines no longer form.

XEOMIN® can also be completed in a short amount of time. In fact, injections can be completed within in five to 15 minutes. There is also not recovery time necessary. You can immediately return to your normal activities after treatment. However, we recommend that you avoid rubbing the area. This will help prevent the XEOMIN® from spreading.

If you’re interested in how XEOMIN® can help you, schedule your consultation at Spa Black today. Located in San Antonio, we’ll help you get the younger-looking skin you want.

Fight Wrinkles with Xeomin

xeomin

Wrinkles, frown lines and crow’s feet can drastically change the appearance of mature skin. Wrinkles are often caused by frowning, overexposure to the sun and weather conditions. Luckily, we can reverse these effects through the injection of botulinum products, called Xeomin.

At Spa Black we offer injectable treatments like Xeomin to help combat the natural signs of aging. Everyone ages differently, so there are different treatment options based on your specific needs. To schedule your appointment, contact Spa Black or stop by our San Antonio spa.

Xeomin treatments are an alternative to Botox treatments. Like Botox, a medical professional will inject the serum underneath the surface of your skin, just between your eyebrows. Xeomin is approved by the FDA for adults who suffer from moderate to severe frown lines.

Xeomin is a safe and effective treatment for facial wrinkles, crow’s feet, and frown lines. Xeomin is virtually painless and extremely easy to inject. The entire process takes less than 15 minutes, from start to finish. There is no down time, so most patients receive treatments on their lunch break or after work.

Xeomin does not need to be refrigerated before use. Serums that do not need to be refrigerated are safer for injection as the body does not run the risk of developing antibodies against the serum.
Xeomin was approved by the FDA in 2011, though doctors have been using the drug since 2005 in other countries.

Xeomin can take up to one week to take effect, though sometimes it can take up to two weeks to take full effect. It can last from three-to-six months. Both Botox and Xeomin are produced and distributed under rigorous guidelines.

During your consultation, ask our medical team about our Botox and Filler Clubs! You can combine your Xeomin treatment with dermal fillers to enhance your results. Dermal fillers like Juvederm and Radiesse are injected into lines and wrinkles of the skin to restore volume, where Xeomin is injected into the muscle. Combining these two procedures can help give you a youthful and radiant look.

If you look older than you feel, it’s time to consider Xeomin. At Spa Black, we can help you achieve the results you want, so you can look and feel your absolute best – at every age! Contact Spa Black today to schedule your consultation. We can help you get back your youthful glow.
