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 in Manhattan 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 include 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.

Are the 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.
