Looking for a wrinkle injection in NYC that delivers smoother skin with a cleaner formulation? Xeomin is a highly purified neurotoxin designed to soften frown lines and other expression-related wrinkles, without added accessory proteins.
What Is Xeomin and How Does It Work?
Xeomin is a form of botulinum toxin that temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for frown lines and crow’s feet. Like Botox and other neurotoxins , it works by interrupting the signals that tell those muscles to contract. The difference? Xeomin is uniquely purified, meaning it contains no accessory proteins, just the active ingredient.
Where Can Xeomin Be Used?
Xeomin is commonly used to treat:
- Glabellar lines (the “11s” between your eyebrows)
- Crow’s feet (lines around the eyes)
- Forehead lines
- Other off label applications such as for perspiration , TMJ treatments , jaw line slimming and even a lip flip treatment.
We may recommend it for other areas affected by repeated facial movement.
How Is Xeomin Different From Botox?
In the discussion of Xeomin vs Botox, the key difference is formulation. Xeomin is considered a “naked” neurotoxin. It contains only the active botulinum toxin with no extra proteins. This may reduce the risk of building resistance over time in some patients.
How Long Does Xeomin Last?
Results from Xeomin typically last around three months, though individual results can vary depending on metabolism, dosage, and treatment area. Many patients return seasonally to maintain smooth, refreshed skin.
What’s the Cost of Xeomin in NYC?
In NYC, Xeomin is typically priced at 12- $16 per unit. Your total cost depends on the area being treated and the number of units required which can vary from $199 per area to $300-$400 per area . Your provider will discuss a personalized plan during your consultation.
Are Results from Xeomin Immediate?
You may begin to notice a difference in 3 to 5 days, with full results visible by the 10–14 day mark. Results are subtle but effective. Your expressions remain, but the lines they create soften noticeably. See our Xeomin before and after gallery for real patient outcomes.
