Xeomin/Botox Injections in Plano
Your Xeomin/Botox treatment will begin by cleansing the area to be treated, then our medical licensed injector will ask you to smile, frown or look surprised. This activates the muscles to be treated. After identifying the target area, we may outline it with washable marker. Injection follows, with a normal treatment consisting of 6 to 25 Xeomin/Botox injections. The number of injections during your treatment depends on the size of the target area and the severity of your frown lines, wrinkles or crow’s feet. After treatment, your brows may appear lifted and your eyelids may have an open look. Xeomin/Botox refreshes your face, giving it a more pleasant, vibrant look. If you find that frown lines between your eyebrows or forehead lines make you look old, tired or angry, Xeomin/Botox can help!
Is Xeomin a Botox Alternative?
Many of our clients get regular BOTOX treatments, and swear by the product. Some others are switching to Xeomin as it is a purer formula and believed to be less likely to product an allergic reaction. Both products work by affecting the nerves that trigger muscle motion beneath the skin, causing them to relax and stop creating the creases and lines due to facial motion. A difference in Xeomin is that it contains only the key ingredient that causes the muscle relaxation, without the additional proteins found in BOTOX. Patients who don’t respond well to Botox may fare better with Xeomin. IncobotulinumtoxinA, the only active ingredient, isn’t coated with protein like Botox. Because it contains a plain form of botulinum toxin type A, there’s nothing to interfere with its functionality even in the most sensitive patients. So yes Xeomin is a good Botox alternative!
