Lines between the brows or across the forehead can become more noticeable over time, especially with repeated facial movement. If you want a smoother, refreshed look without changing your natural expression, Xeomin is one of the neuromodulators offered at Beverly Friedlander MD in Short Hills, New Jersey. As part of our full range of injectables, Xeomin provides wrinkle softening with a clean formulation that appeals to many patients.
Dr. Bev uses Xeomin for both men and women seeking a subtle, effective way to reduce facial lines. It fits seamlessly into a nonsurgical routine and pairs well with fillers and other aesthetic treatments when needed.
What Is Xeomin?
Xeomin has been FDA-approved since 2011 and is used for both cosmetic and medical indications. It works similarly to Botox and Dysport by limiting the muscle activity that creates wrinkles. What sets Xeomin apart is its purified formulation—free from accessory proteins—which can be especially helpful if you don’t respond well to other neuromodulators.
How Xeomin Works
Xeomin helps reduce facial lines by blocking the signal that causes targeted muscles to contract. When these muscles remain at rest, the skin above them softens, creating a smoother look.
The treatment is FDA-approved for frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) and has additional therapeutic uses. Xeomin’s streamlined formulation allows it to behave predictably, often making it a preferred choice for our clients looking for consistent results.
How Xeomin Differs From Botox and Dysport
While all three neuromodulators share a similar mechanism of action, the formulation differs. Botox and Dysport contain added proteins that help stabilize the active ingredient. Xeomin does not.
This difference may benefit a small group of patients who develop resistance to other neuromodulators. Without added proteins, Xeomin can work well when other products provide limited improvement.
Why Patients Choose Xeomin
Patients choose Xeomin when they want:
- A neuromodulator without accessory proteins
- A reliable option after reduced response to Botox or Dysport
- A smooth, expressive result
- A treatment that integrates easily with fillers or skin-focused procedures
Xeomin fits naturally into personalized plans built around your movement patterns and long-term aesthetic strategy.
Xeomin Aftercare and Maintenance
You can return to most activities shortly after treatment. For the best results:
- Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas for the first day
- Skip saunas, hot yoga, or high-heat environments for 24 hours
- Stay upright for several hours after treatment
- Use sunscreen daily to protect your skin
- Maintain a consistent skincare routine to support long-term skin quality
Touch-ups every 3–4 months help maintain your refined look.
