Xeomin is a brand name for incobotulinumtoxinA, which is a type of botulinum toxin . It is used in cosmetic treatments to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing the muscles responsible for causing wrinkles. This can give the face a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) is typically administered via injection. Here’s how the application process generally works:
1. Consultation: Before treatment, a consultation with a qualified healthcare provider, such as a dermatologist or plastic surgeon, is necessary. During this consultation, the provider will assess your suitability for treatment, discuss your goals, and explain the procedure.
2. Preparation: On the day of treatment, the provider will clean the area to be treated and may apply a topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort, though this is often not necessary.
3. Injection:Using a fine needle, the provider will inject small amounts of Xeomin directly into the muscles that are causing the wrinkles. The number of injections depends on the area being treated and the severity of the wrinkles.
4. Post-treatment: After the injections, the provider may gently massage the treated area to ensure even distribution of the Xeomin. You may be advised to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area yourself to prevent spreading of the toxin.
5. Recovery: There is minimal downtime associated with Xeomin injections. You can usually resume normal activities immediately after treatment, although you may be advised to avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sun or heat exposure for the rest of the day.
6. Results: It typically takes a few days to start seeing the effects of Xeomin, with full results appearing within 1 to 2 weeks after treatment. The effects usually last about 3 to 4 months, after which additional treatments may be needed to maintain results.
It’s important to note that the actual mode of application and specific details can vary based on individual preferences, the area being treated, and the expertise of the healthcare provider administering the treatment. Always follow your provider’s instructions before and after treatment to ensure safety and optimal results.
