Xeomin offers a non-surgical approach to temporarily soften wrinkles by reducing the muscle activity that creates them. At Center for SmartLipo & Plastic Surgery, treatment is tailored to your facial features, muscle movement, and aesthetic goals so you can achieve a smoother, more refreshed appearance without changing what makes your face look like you.

Xeomin is a prescription cosmetic injectable containing incobotulinumtoxinA, a form of botulinum toxin used to temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It works by relaxing targeted facial muscles that contribute to expression lines, particularly in areas such as the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes.
Xeomin focuses on wrinkles created by repeated muscle movement. Your provider can determine which areas may benefit from treatment based on your facial anatomy and the way your muscles move.
Lines between the eyebrows can make your resting expression appear worried, serious, or tired. Xeomin can temporarily relax the muscles responsible for these lines and create a smoother appearance.
Repeated eyebrow and forehead movement can contribute to horizontal lines across the forehead. Targeted Xeomin treatment may soften these wrinkles while preserving appropriate facial movement.
Movement around the eyes can contribute to visible expression lines. When appropriate, Xeomin can be used to address selected wrinkles around the eyes as part of a personalized facial rejuvenation plan.
Your appointment begins with a discussion about the lines you want to improve and the type of result you hope to achieve. Your provider can also address concerns about injections, discomfort, previous treatments, or other factors that may affect your experience.
Your provider examines your facial features and observes how your muscles move during different expressions. This evaluation helps identify the muscles contributing to the wrinkles you want to soften.
Xeomin works by targeting specific muscles, so injection placement matters. Your provider develops a treatment plan based on your facial anatomy, muscle activity, and desired level of correction.
Xeomin is delivered through a series of small injections into the selected muscles. The treatment typically takes about 15 to 20 minutes, and most patients can return to their daily activities almost immediately.
Xeomin can address different concerns caused by facial muscle movement. The treatment plan should focus on the areas that affect your appearance most while maintaining balance with the rest of your face.
Frown lines between the eyebrows can become more pronounced with repeated expressions. Xeomin temporarily relaxes the underlying muscles to help smooth the appearance of these wrinkles.
Forehead lines can become more noticeable as facial expressions are repeated over time. Your provider can evaluate the movement of the forehead muscles and determine whether Xeomin is appropriate for your concerns.
The muscles around the eyes contribute to certain expression lines that become more visible with smiling and other facial movements. Treatment can be considered when these lines are part of your overall facial rejuvenation goals.
Xeomin is similar to other botulinum toxin injectables, including Botox. The products differ in formulation, and Xeomin contains fewer inactive ingredients. Your provider can discuss which neuromodulator best fits your treatment goals and facial features.
At Center for SmartLipo & Plastic Surgery, Xeomin treatment starts with an assessment of your individual facial features rather than a standard injection pattern. Dr. Durvi Patel and Dr. Aaron Shapiro evaluate your concerns and customize the treatment plan according to your desired level of correction. The practice focuses on personalized care and natural-looking results. Xeomin can soften unwanted wrinkles while allowing you to maintain the facial movement that makes your expressions look natural.
You do not need to know which injection sites or how much Xeomin you need before your appointment. Your provider will evaluate your facial movement, discuss your concerns, and recommend the appropriate treatment approach.
Pronounced lines between the eyebrows can make your resting expression appear more serious or concerned. If these lines remain noticeable when your face is relaxed, reducing the underlying muscle activity may help create a softer appearance.
Repeated expressions can gradually deepen certain facial lines. Xeomin may help when these wrinkles are primarily related to muscle movement rather than loss of facial volume.
Xeomin provides an injectable alternative to surgical facial rejuvenation. The treatment takes a short amount of time and generally allows patients to return to their normal activities almost immediately.
Xeomin does not permanently alter the appearance of the treated muscles. The practice states that results usually appear within a few days and can last approximately three to four months, making periodic treatments an option for patients who want to maintain their results.
You do not have to change your entire appearance to look more refreshed. Xeomin can target specific expression lines and soften their appearance while maintaining the natural character of your face.
Xeomin treatment usually involves minimal downtime. The practice states that the procedure typically takes 15 to 20 minutes, and patients can generally return to their daily activities almost immediately. Patients who are concerned about injection discomfort can discuss the use of numbing cream before treatment.
Results usually begin to appear within a few days and can last around three to four months. Because results vary between patients, your provider can discuss the expected timeline during your consultation and determine when another treatment may be appropriate.
