A Purified Approach to Wrinkle Relaxation
XEOMIN® (incobotulinumtoxinA) is a highly purified neurotoxin used to temporarily smooth the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. It’s often called the “naked” injectable because it contains only the active ingredient, no surrounding proteins or additives found in other neurotoxin formulations.
At ULS Aesthetics Lab, Xeomin injections in Corona, CA are offered as part of our neurotoxin lineup, alongside Botox, Jeuveau, and Daxxify. Xeomin is often chosen by clients who prefer a clean formulation or who feel like other neurotoxins aren’t working as well as they used to.
What Makes Xeomin Different
If you’ve been using another neurotoxin for years and noticed it doesn’t last as long as it used to, Xeomin can be a helpful “reset” worth exploring. Xeomin stands out from other neurotoxins because of what’s not in it. Other formulations contain complexing proteins that surround the active ingredient. Xeomin removes those, leaving just the pure botulinum toxin behind. This matters for two reasons:
Reduced risk of resistance: Some people develop antibodies to the extra proteins in other neurotoxins, which can make those treatments less effective over time. Xeomin’s purified formulation reduces that risk.
Cleaner approach: Without unnecessary proteins, Xeomin is often described as a more streamlined, simplified neurotoxin option.
Xeomin: An FDA-Approved Frown Line Treatment
Xeomin is FDA-approved to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows in adults. It works by relaxing the muscles responsible for creating those lines, allowing the skin above to smooth out for a softer, more refreshed look. Beyond the FDA-approved use, Xeomin is also commonly used off-label to address other dynamic wrinkles on the face, similar to other neurotoxins.
Why Choose Xeomin Over Other Neurotoxins?
All neurotoxins work in a similar way, they relax facial muscles to soften wrinkles. But the differences in formulation and how they’re processed by the body can matter, especially over time.
Pure, Streamlined Formulation
Xeomin contains only the active ingredient, with no surrounding proteins. This is the main thing that sets it apart.
Reduced Risk of Resistance
Without those extra proteins, your body is less likely to develop antibodies that can reduce a neurotoxin’s effectiveness over time.
Consistent, Reliable Outcomes
Xeomin’s pure formulation delivers steady, predictable results, treatment after treatment.
Areas We Treat With Xeomin
Xeomin is a versatile, medically proven treatment that softens lines, enhances facial balance, and delivers natural-looking results. Common treatment areas include:
Forehead Lines
Horizontal lines that appear when you raise your eyebrows.
Frown Lines (the “11s”)
Vertical lines between the brows that deepen when you frown or concentrate.
Crow’s Feet
Fine lines at the outer corners of the eyes that appear when you smile.
Bunny Lines
Small wrinkles across the bridge of the nose from facial expressions.
Smoker’s Lines
Vertical lines around the lips for a softer, more refined look.
Neck Bands
Visible vertical bands on the neck that soften with treatment.
Masseter (Jawline)
Treatment that slims and contours a square jawline for improved facial harmony.
DAO (Mouth Corners)
Lifts the corners of the mouth to reduce a downward or “sad” appearance.
What to Expect at Your Xeomin Appointment
Your appointment starts with a short consultation to review the areas you want to address and confirm whether Xeomin is the right fit. The injections themselves take just a few minutes. Using a very fine needle, your provider places small amounts of Xeomin into the targeted muscles.
Most clients describe the sensation as a quick pinch. There’s no required downtime, and most people return to their normal day immediately after. Results begin to develop within a few days, with full effects visible after about two weeks. Most clients enjoy results for 3 to 4 months before scheduling maintenance treatments.
How Many Units of Xeomin Do You Need?
Patients average around 20 units of Xeomin per visit for treatment between the brows, similar to Botox, and considerably less than Dysport, which typically requires around 40 units for the same area.
The exact number of units depends on the treatment area, your muscle strength, and the result you want. Smaller areas like crow’s feet typically need fewer units than larger areas like the forehead or masseter. During your consultation, your provider will recommend a unit count based on your specific goals.
