How do BOTOX and XEOMIN work?

BOTOX and XEOMIN are neuromodulators or muscle relaxers. Fine lines and wrinkles naturally form on our faces as a result of making expressions such as frowning, laughing, squinting, or smiling. Collagen is the protein in our skin that allows it to bounce back, preventing any lines or wrinkles from sticking around. As we get older, collagen production begins to slow down, making it more difficult for our skin to look smooth or wrinkle-free. These wrinkle relaxers temporarily paralyze the nerve impulses that provide muscle movement to make certain facial expressions, therefore eliminating or reducing contraction-induced wrinkles.

Botox/Xeomin FAQ

What is Botox/Xeomin/Dysport?

Botox injections use a toxin called onobotulinumtoxinA to temporarily prevent a muscle from moving.

Botox was the first drug to use botulinum toxin. Other products now include abobotulinumtoxinA (Dysport), incobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin). Each is a little different, particularly when it comes to dosage units, so they aren't interchangeable.

What is a Botox/Xeomin injection?

Botox/Xeomin injections block certain chemical signals from nerves, mostly signals that cause muscles to contract.

What areas are Botox/Xeomin injections most commonly used on?

The most common use of these injections is to temporarily relax the facial muscles that cause wrinkles in the forehead and around the eyes.

How do I prepare for a Botox/Xeomin injection?

Let us know if you've had any type of Botox/Xeomin injection within the past four months. Also let us know if you take muscle relaxants, sleeping aids or allergy medications. If you take blood thinners, you may need to stop taking them several days before your injection to reduce your risk of bleeding or bruising.

After I get Botox/Xeomin, how long will the effects last?

Botox/Xeomin injections usually begin working three to seven days after treatment. Depending on the problem being treated, the effect may last three months or longer. To maintain the effect, you'll need regular follow-up injections.

What side effects can I expect from Botox/Xeomin?

Botox/Xeomin injections are relatively safe when performed by an experienced provider. Possible side effects and complications include:

• Pain, swelling or bruising at the injection site
• Headache or flu-like symptoms
• Droopy eyelid or cockeyed eyebrows

Where does Botox/Xeomin go when it wears off?

The neurotoxin protein in Botox/Xeomin blocks neurotransmitters from engaging with your facial muscles. Over time, the Botox/Xeomin components are broken down into harmless particles called amino acids. The broken-down components are excreted from the kidneys as waste, or they're used in other proteins.
