Xeomin Overview
Xeomin Treatments at Luminus
Xeomin is designed to soften expression-related lines while preserving facial movement. Xeomin helps patients achieve a refreshed, well-rested appearance without surgery or downtime. Whether you’re new to aesthetic injectables or looking for a cleaner alternative to traditional neuromodulators, Xeomin offers a modern approach to wrinkle reduction.
What Is Xeomin?
Xeomin is an FDA-approved neuromodulator used to temporarily relax the facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles which are lines that form from repeated expressions such as smiling, squinting, or frowning.
Unlike some other injectables, Xeomin is uniquely purified and contains only the active ingredient, with no added proteins. This streamlined formulation allows for consistent results and may reduce the likelihood of developing resistance over time.
Common treatment areas include:
● Lines around the eyes (crow’s feet)
● Forehead creases
● Vertical lines between the eyebrows (“11” lines)
Is Xeomin Safe?
Yes. Xeomin has been extensively studied and is FDA-approved for cosmetic use. It has been safely administered worldwide for many years and is also used therapeutically for certain medical conditions.
Because Xeomin contains no accessory proteins, it is considered a “naked” neuromodulator, meaning only the active component is injected. This purification process aligns with strict pharmaceutical standards and contributes to its strong safety profile when administered by trained medical professionals.
Xeomin vs. Other Wrinkle Relaxers
Xeomin works similarly to other wrinkle-relaxing injectables but differs in formulation. Its single-ingredient composition appeals to patients who prefer a minimal approach while still achieving smooth, natural-looking results.
During your consultation, our injectors will help determine whether Xeomin or another injectable is best suited to your facial anatomy, goals, and treatment history.
Ideal Candidates for Xeomin
You may be a good candidate for Xeomin® if you:
● Are 18 or older with mild to moderate expression lines
● Are in good overall health
● Want a non-surgical option for facial rejuvenation
● Prefer subtle, natural-looking results
● Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
● Have realistic expectations about temporary wrinkle reduction
Xeomin is often chosen by patients who want effective results without added ingredients.
What Is a Unit of Xeomin? How Much Will I Need?
A unit is a standardized measurement used to determine dosage. The number of units required varies based on:
- The area being treated
- Muscle strength and facial movement
- Individual aesthetic goals
For example, treating the forehead may require a different number of units than the eye area. Your provider will evaluate your facial structure and recommend a personalized treatment plan focused on balance and natural expression, not overcorrection.
What to Expect During a Xeomin Appointment
After a consultation, the treatment itself typically takes about 10–15 minutes. Xeomin is administered using a very fine needle, and most patients describe the sensation as minimal and brief. There is no required downtime, making it easy to return to work or daily activities shortly after your visit.
How to Prepare for Your Xeomin Treatment
● Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements for several days prior, if medically appropriate
● Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before treatment
● Arrive with a clean face, free of makeup
Be sure to share your full medical history and any medications with your provider ahead of time.
Aftercare Guidelines for Xeomin
● Avoid strenuous activity, lying flat, or touching the treated area for several hours
● Skip makeup application immediately after injections
● Avoid excessive heat (saunas, hot tubs) and alcohol for the remainder of the day
These precautions help ensure the product stays in the intended areas and supports optimal results.
When Will I See Results?
Initial changes may begin to appear within a few days, with full results developing over 10–14 days. Results are temporary and typically last several months, at which point maintenance treatments can be scheduled if desired.
