Xeomin, a popular alternative to Botox at Ultra Smooth Skin in Scottsdale, offers a safe and effective solution for reducing facial wrinkles and achieving a smoother, youthful appearance.
The Purest Botulinum Toxin Injectable
Xeomin is an FDA-approved cosmetic injectable used to treat facial lines and wrinkles. It is derived from botulinum toxin type A, just like Botox and Dysport. Xeomin is uniquely formulated without any additives, making it a purer alternative. When injected into specific muscles, it temporarily relaxes them, reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles caused by the overuse of facial muscles and expressions. Xeomin is a popular choice for individuals seeking a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
Xeomin Treats:
- Facial wrinkles
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines (glabellar lines)
- Crow’s feet (lines around the eyes)
- Fine lines around the mouth
- Marionette lines (lines around the corners of the mouth)
- Neck bands (platysma bands)

FAQs
How does Xeomin work?
Xeomin, like other botulinum toxin type A products, works by blocking nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. Its active ingredient, incobotulinumtoxinA, specifically targets the neuromuscular junction, where nerves communicate with muscles. By inhibiting the release of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine, Xeomin prevents muscle contractions, resulting in the temporary relaxation of the treated muscles. This reduction in muscle activity leads to a smoothing effect on the overlying skin, diminishing the appearance of wrinkles.
Why is Xeomin called a “naked” botulinum toxin?
Xeomin is often referred to as a “naked” botulinum toxin because it is formulated without any complexing proteins or additives. Unlike other botulinum toxin type A products, Xeomin contains only the purified active ingredient. The removal of these accessory proteins minimizes the risk of potential immune reactions or resistance development. Consequently, individuals are less likely to develop a tolerance to Xeomin after repeated use, making it an effective alternative for those with a tolerance to Botox and Dysport.
Who is a good candidate for Xeomin?
Good candidates for Xeomin are individuals seeking to reduce facial wrinkles and achieve a smoother, more youthful appearance. Those with moderate to severe frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet, or other facial wrinkles may benefit from Xeomin. However, you must be at least 21 years old, have good physical and mental health, and have realistic expectations.
Who should not get Xeomin?
Individuals with a known allergy to any of the ingredients in Xeomin and those with a history of severe allergic reactions to other botulinum toxin products should not receive Xeomin injections. Pregnant or breastfeeding women and individuals with certain neurological disorders may also be advised against getting Xeomin. Consultation with our medical providers is necessary to determine eligibility for treatment.
