Xeomin/Botox

Xeomin and Botox are prescription medications that are injected into muscles to relax, soften, and improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Both Xeomin and Botox work in a similar manner, but their chemical makeups are different. At our office, we prefer to use Xeomin because it is the purest of the three. The manufacturer has removed unnecessary proteins from Xeomin's makeup, so it is the least likely to cause tolerance. When you are exposed to unnecessary proteins, your immune system builds antibodies that break down the medication sooner than it should. We offer Xeomin and Botox at The Skin Refinery.

Is this treatment right for me?

Neurotoxins are great for people who are concerned with wrinkles on their forehead, frown lines, crow’s feet, chin dimpling, and mouth wrinkles. It can be used to create symmetry, give the corners of the mouth a lift, decrease the amount of gum that shows with a smile (aka the gummy smile), and smooth the bunny lines. This treatment pauses muscle movement for 3-4 months, essentially giving the skin time to rest and heal. People often wonder if having a neurotoxin treatment will make the wrinkles worse after the injectable wears off. The wrinkles will not come back worse after this treatment, and, if anything, the skin should glow after having a rest for a few months.
