Xeomin is a neuromodulator that is in the same class as Botox. Xeomin is FDA approved for aesthetic use in the human face including the treatment of moderate to severe wrinkles in the glabella. It is also has therapeutic indications and is the first-line therapy for blepharospasm. Both Botox and Xeomin can be used throughout the face in a safe fashion. Most commonly, both are utilized in the forehead, around the eyes (crows feet), around the lip lines, and along the neck. Bruising is uncommon, and swelling resolves within an hour. Each of these treatments are common “lunchtime” interventions.
There is no mistaking the brand presence of Botox®, but also consider that Botox was introduced back in the 1980’s. There have been a number of innovations in neuromodulation since the landmark discovery of Botox. Xeomin is the next step in the neuromodulator market. It provides the purest form of neuromodulation on the market, spares the possibility of preservative allergy/rejection, and acts faster while lasting just as long as Botox. Welcome to the next level of neuromodulators.

Xeomin is the only highly purified neurotoxin on the market that uses a patented process called, Xtract Technology.
Xeomin was created and is produced by Merz Aesthetics, a 112 year pharmaceutical company that focuses on nothing but aesthetic products. Their scientists developed the Xtract Technology to remove all of the unnecessary proteins away from the active toxin molecule. Their goal was to achieve an end-product that was as pure as possible. That makes sense, right? Why would anyone want impurities in a product that they would inject into their face? If they could minimize those impurities, wouldn’t they achieve a better purifies toxin than other available products on the market? So, using their special Xtract Technology, Merz is able to eliminate all the unnecessary proteins that can result in immunogenicity and dose creep.
And, in a double-blind patient satisfaction study, Xeomin had a 93% satisfaction rate at month four and that’s 3% higher than Botox. In a world where some of our patients are more conscious than ever about what they put in their body’s, Xeomin is a great option.
At our practice in Vero Beach Xeomin patients living an active lifestyle want to look refreshed. They fear the heavy brow sensation associated with older generations of neurotoxins. Our team targets specific facial muscle groups to preserve a normal, human aesthetic. We focus on dynamic wrinkles. These are the lines created through constant facial movement over time.
We evaluate your anatomical structure and aesthetic goals during consultation. The ideal candidate for Xeomin seeks a light, mobile outcome. You want your skin to look smooth without the frozen stigma. Athletes, fitness models, and active parents from Jupiter to Palm Beach prefer this purified toxin. It works fast. The rapid onset aligns with their demanding schedules.
We turn away patients expecting complete facial immobility. If you demand a severe, heavy brow freeze, this specific product falls short of your goals. We use alternatives. We refuse to administer injections if you present with active skin infections or certain neurological conditions. Safety dictates our practice.
Xeomin has the same parent molecule as Botox, but unlike Botox, it begins working within 1-2 days rather than over 10-14 days. This is one of the main innovations that Xeomin brings to the table.
The reason why it acts faster is because unlike Botox, Xeomin does not have a preservative protein. When Botox is injected, the botulinum molecule must free itself from its preservative protein, and then it is free to bond with the facial muscles. It bonds to the muscle, and the muscle relaxes. Once the muscle relaxes, the wrinkles fade away. Again, with Xeomin, there is no preservative protein. Xeomin is immediately available to the muscle receptors.
It starts to bind immediately, and reduce wrinkling at a markedly faster rate, and at a steadier pace. No preservatives in the mixture allows for a higher activity of the active molecule following injection. There are also significant differences in how Botox and Xeomin feel to the patient. As a patient myself, I have received both Botox and Xeomin.
Xeomin feels much lighter and more natural than Botox, in my opinion. With Xeomin, the wrinkles disappear, but I still maintain normal motion. Botox tends to be a bit stronger, in my opinion. It has a heavier feeling on the brow, and it tends to limit muscle movement to a greater degree.
As we always preach at Ocean Drive Plastic Surgery, one solution does not fit everyone. We use Botox in patients who want a more dramatic result from their neuromodulator. We use Botox in patients who do not mind that heavy sensation, and in patients that want to curtail muscle movement. For our Xeomin Vero Beach patients that want more natural facial function, we have found that Xeomin offers a superior result to those clients that want to maintain muscle function but limit the amount of facial lines they see in the mirror.
Generations of older toxins require binding proteins to fall away before taking effect. Xeomin skips this phase. The purified nature means the active molecule binds direct to the muscle receptor upon injection. Patients observe wrinkle reduction within two days. Traditional neurotoxins require up to two weeks.
You can walk into a Friday evening dinner at the resort without obvious forehead lines. The clinical duration mirrors the industry standard. Most patients maintain their smooth appearance for three to four months. The exact timeline depends on your individual metabolism and muscle mass. Thicker muscles metabolize the product at a faster rate.
The Ocean Drive experience prioritizes your comfort. The Xeomin injection feels like a quick sting. We use micro-needles to minimize trauma to the tissue. You will leave our beachside facility with minor pinkness at the injection sites. This fades within the hour.
You must follow specific protocols to ensure the product settles in the correct location. Keep your head elevated for four hours. Avoid the ocean, intense heat, and intense exercise for one full day. Skip the heavy makeup. Let your skin breathe. If you rub the treated areas, the product might migrate. Migration creates asymmetrical results.
Our practice does not compete on bargain pricing. We provide elite surgical and dermatological care. The total investment depends on your specific anatomical needs and the strength of your facial muscles. Men require higher doses due to increased muscle density. We review all pricing details during your private consultation.
Yes. The formula lacks complexing preservative proteins. The active molecule binds to your muscle receptors upon contact. You will see a visible reduction in facial wrinkles within two days. Older toxins require a breakdown phase before activating.
All FDA-approved neurotoxins maintain exceptional safety profiles. This purified option removes unnecessary additive proteins. The absence of these proteins reduces the risk of antibody resistance. Your body is less prone to rejecting the treatment over time.
Our patients report a lighter physical sensation across their forehead. You retain subtle facial mobility. The heavy, frozen aesthetic associated with older plastic surgery interventions is absent. You look rested and vibrant.
Consistent maintenance prevents deep creases from forming. Most patients schedule their visits every three to four months. Our aesthetic team maps out a long-term longevity protocol for your specific facial structure.
