Botox® & Xeomin®

It’s become common knowledge that Botox® is the definitive wrinkle-smoothing injectable treatment. However, you may not realize that Xeomin® has many benefits of its own, and some people prefer it to Botox®. Your expert injector at JK MedSpa will help you discover which one works best for you.

Both Botox® and Xeomin® are used to treat lines and wrinkles, especially those caused by repetitive facial motions. They temporarily stop your facial muscles from creating those motions, allowing your skin to relax and become smooth.

Learn More About Botox® and Xeomin®

Botox® and Xeomin® are injectable treatments used to treat lines and wrinkles, especially horizontal forehead lines, vertical creases between the brows, and crow’s feet around the eyes. They both use botulinum toxin type A, a neurotoxin or neuromodulator, to help these wrinkles disappear.

Expression lines and wrinkles appear naturally when you frown, smile, or raise your eyebrows. When you have youthful skin, those lines only last as long as the expression does. Over time, repetitive motions cause expression lines to deepen and linger even when your face is at rest. Botox® and Xeomin® can smooth these wrinkles or prevent them from even forming!

Botulinum toxin type A, the active ingredient in Botox® and Xeomin®, works by interrupting the signals that your facial nerves send to your muscles. Your expert JK Medspa injector uses tiny amounts of this compound to target only the muscles that cause your wrinkles without affecting your natural facial expressions.

Despite the name, botulinum toxin isn’t toxic to your nerves or muscles. When it wears off, all their functions return to normal without any lingering effects.

Each person’s body responds differently to injectables, so the results will vary. Some people may prefer their results with Botox®, while others may be more satisfied with their Xeomin® results.

Once established, both treatments last three to four months for most people. Some people will see longer results with one or the other, and your JK Medspa expert injector can help you find the one you prefer. Xeomin® is sometimes recommended for people who have become less responsive to Botox® as they gradually develop a resistance to its proteins.

Many people enjoy the best results with a combination of neurotoxin injections and dermal fillers in what is sometimes called a “liquid facelift.” We can tailor a treatment with these versatile injectables to address your unique needs.

Your Botox® or Xeomin® injections usually take about 15 minutes, and you can return to your daily routine immediately. You won’t need any downtime but may notice minor bruising, swelling, or redness in the area lasting a few hours to a few days. Many people notice minimal or no effects.

While you can return to most of your usual activities after Botox® and Xeomin®, you should take a few precautions. Avoid rubbing your face or lying down for a few hours after receiving your injections, and wait 24 hours before resuming your exercise routine. Once the botulinum toxin has reached its target, it will stay there until your body removes it.

With extensive medical and cosmetic research behind them, botulinum toxin injectables are safe for almost anyone. Individuals of all skin types and tones can have Botox® or Xeomin®. Good candidates are healthy adults with reasonable expectations who want to address expression lines and wrinkles. Individuals range in age from younger people looking to prevent wrinkles to older people wanting to smooth them away.

You should not have any type of facial injections if you have an infection or active skin condition in the area. Botox® and Xeomin® are not recommended for people who are pregnant or have certain medical conditions. Only a consultation will let your expert injector determine whether you’re a good candidate.
