Frowning, smiling, laughing, and crying are all part of our natural facial reactions. But when these reactions lead to constant muscular contractions and activity, they can also result in the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and fine lines across your face.
What Is Xeomin®?
Xeomin® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that relaxes your muscles to limit their movement. When used across the face, Xeomin® treats dynamic wrinkles and fine lines that appear on your facial features from constant muscular activity in particular areas. Besides resolving the appearance of existing wrinkles and fine lines, Xeomin® can also prevent these unwanted signs of aging from forming in the first place. This is possible due to Xeomin®’s composition, which comprises the substance known as botulinum toxin type A. As a neuromodulator, botulinum toxin type A can prohibit the movement of treated muscles by limiting their activity signals to the brain.
When botulinum toxin type A is used as an aesthetic treatment, it can reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and fine lines that form due to repeated muscle contractions and skin folds. When the targeted muscles do not move, the wrinkles and fine lines that they form over the skin start to fade away in 3-4 days. Typically, after a week of your treatment, these signs of aging get reduced to the point of becoming unnoticeable. This makes way for you to get visibly smooth skin that is not marred by unwanted reminders of aging.
