Fine lines and wrinkles often tell the story of our lives: smiles shared, moments of focus, years of laughter. For many of us, there comes a time when those lines linger and no longer reflect how we feel on the inside.
At Enrichment Skin Solutions, achieving natural, refreshed results begins with understanding all your options. While Botox has become a household name, Xeomin is a refined alternative that has been gaining attention for its purity and precision.
In this guide, we’ll explore how Xeomin® works, how it compares to Botox, and what makes it a great option for those considering wrinkle injections in Brooklyn Park. Whether you’re new to injectables or looking to fine-tune your aesthetic routine, this is your starting point for smoother, more confident skin.
Understanding Dynamic Wrinkles
Before we take a look at how Xeomin works, let’s take a look to understand what it’s been designed to treat. Dynamic wrinkles are lines and creases that form on the face due to natural movements and expressions.
When we laugh, smile, or frown, muscles under the skin contract to form these expressions. Initially, these lines and wrinkles are temporary and disappear when the face relaxes. Over time, and with repeated muscle movements, though, these lines and wrinkles become pronounced and permanent.
Common areas that usually develop dynamic wrinkles include:
- Around the eyes
- Forehead
- Between the eyebrows
- Corners of the mouth
- Neck
The Science Behind Smoother Skin
Xeomin is a powerful neuromodulator that is designed to relax the muscles that cause lines and dynamic wrinkles. It’s made of a completely purified form of botulinum toxin, which is the same active ingredient in Botox.
Wrinkle injections in Brooklyn Park, such as Xeomin, work to block the signals from the nerves that cause muscle contractions, giving the muscles a break from movement. This softens the appearance of lines and dynamic wrinkles on the face.
Xeomin does more than treat existing wrinkles; it also helps to prevent future wrinkles from forming.
Is Xeomin the same as Botox?
Both Xeomin and Botox are wrinkle relaxers and neuromodulators, so it’s easy to think that they’re the same thing. However, though they both use botulinum toxin to relax facial muscles, they have specific formula differences.
Xeomin is known as the “naked” neuromodulator, as it contains no protein additives. Xeomin goes through a special purification process to remove complexing proteins within the injection. Botox uses these complexing proteins to remain stable.
These complexing proteins aren’t dangerous, but people have had allergic reactions to them. If you’ve had a poor reaction to Botox in the past, Xeomin may be a better treatment option for you because of its pure formulation.
Is Xeomin safe?
It can be a little intimidating to read that Xeomin and Botox are made of botulinum toxin, and we understand that. However, just because the injections have this toxin does not mean they are toxic.
Xeomin is FDA-approved for treating dynamic wrinkles as well as certain medical conditions. Like all injectables, there are some mild side effects, like redness, mild swelling, or pain at the injection site. These side effects typically resolve on their own within a day or 2 after treatment.
