Xeomin®

Xeomin is a form of botulism toxin that is used to block muscle movement in areas that contribute to wrinkles. It is used in the forehead, typically between the brows to soften frown lines.

Frown lines form when facial expressions are made as the muscle under the skin contracts. Over time, as your skin ages, these repeated expressions cause lasting frown lines and wrinkles. Xeomin blocks the release of chemicals that cause these muscle contractions so frown lines are softened.

Unlike filler, Xeomin only impacts muscle movement, and has no effect on filling deep wrinkles that have already formed.

Effective November 1, 2022: Botox and Xeomin treatments.

To obtain the best possible results and maintain affordability for our clients, we strive to achieve your aesthetic goals using the least amount of product we feel is necessary. In addition, when treating facial fine lines and wrinkles with Botox and Xeomin, the best results are typically not fully realized immediately and may take up to 14 days to settle in and take effect.

Our highly trained, master injectors take a conservative approach when treating the area most people would agree is the most important feature of the body, their face. Our goal is reverse the signs of aging but most importantly, to do so in a most natural manner.

If you have not received the expected results, you may require a “dosage adjustment” visit. As of November 1st, a dosage adjustment visit will be $99. We will continue to provide free touch ups to adjust brow asymmetry.

FAQs

Why do we charge by the unit and not by the area?

We charge by the unit and not by the area because this is the most fair, ethical, and affordable approach for you. Since every person is different, their lines and wrinkles are different, and their facial muscles react differently to the injections, it is impossible to know in advance how much product will be needed to achieve their desired goals. We take a conservative approach for several reasons:

• It is more affordable for our clients if we charge by the unit rather than by the area. Using only the amount of product necessary to relax the muscles and reach your goals saves product, thus saving you money. Additionally, over-treating a muscle is useless, wasteful, and frankly, unethical. It is typically an indication of an inexperienced injector. Injecting more product than needed will cost you more money but will not enhance the results.
• Final results are not realized immediately. It can take up to 14 days for the product to take full effect. Keep in mind that you may still have visible wrinkles. This does not mean that the treatment was ineffective. The treated muscle may be fully relaxed but the skin has not yet adapted. Treating the same area again will not improve the results. It will simply cost you more money.
• Over treatment can cause unwanted results such as distortion, brow ptosis, eyelid ptosis, “frozen face” or other unnatural features. Our approach is “too little” is always better than “too much.”

Why do I have to pay for a dosage adjustment if I already paid for treatment?

Because we inject conservatively, our master injectors relying on years of expertise and experience, are only going to use as much product during your initial visit as we feel is necessary. If after several weeks, you need additional treatment, then you are simply paying for more product that you did not receive on the previous visit.

What is a free “touch-up?”

We will continue to offer free touch-ups for improving eyebrow asymmetry. That is, in the event one eyebrow is higher than the other, we will inject a small amount of product to equally align the brows.
