Xeomin®

Xeomin® is unique. It was the first clinically proven anti-wrinkle injection uniquely purified to remove proteins unnecessary for treatment.

Xeomin® is indicated for temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines in adult patients. Xeomin® can help differentiate your practice.

Xeomin® is different in ways that matter to you and to your patients.

*Studies have not been performed to determine whether the presence or absence of complexing/unnecessary proteins has a long-term effect on safety or efficacy.

Mechanism of Action

· Xeomin® is a Botulinum Toxin Type A that blocks transmission of acetylcholine (ACh) from neuron to muscle

· This inhibits muscle contraction and causes muscle paresis (weakness) or paralysis

· Botulinum Toxin Type A only affects "cholinergic neurons" (neurons which use acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter)

· Botulinum Toxin Type A effects dissipate after ~ 3 months because new SNAP-25 proteins take 3 months to be synthesized

Yes, dosage of Dysport® and Xeomin® is different bit that’s only the information needed for the provider and not the patient.

How does Xeomin® work?

Adults from 18 to 65 and older are all candidates for the treatment. There is no right age to start treatment, but Xeomin, Botox and Dysport are all being recognized as a preventative measurement to starting injections early to avoid the lines from getting deeper and becoming more prominent.
