Xeomin: The Smart Choice for Natural-Looking Results
Wrinkle relaxing medications (or neuromodulators) are designed to help lessen the lines that we develop after years of repetitive frowning, squinting, and smiling. A tiny needle is painlessly inserted into the overactive muscle and a small amount of medication is injected. This decreases the muscle’s ability to contract and create deep lines. These quick and safe procedures soften expression lines with predictable, natural, and subtle results with no downtime.
Xeomin is unique among the neuromodulators in that it does not contain preservative proteins. This is often a medication chosen by people who are looking for a more “natural” treatment. Although most people have no issues with neuromodulators at all, Xeomin may be the only neuromodulator to which people cannot develop resistance to over time.

FAQs About Xeomin Treatment
What is Xeomin and how does it work?
Xeomin is an FDA-approved wrinkle relaxer made from botulinum toxin type A, the same active ingredient used in Botox and Dysport. It works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to targeted muscles, which reduces their activity and softens dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated expressions like frowning, squinting, and smiling. Patients in Tribeca and Lower Manhattan choose Xeomin for its ability to create smooth, natural-looking results without downtime.
How is Xeomin different from Botox or Dysport?
Unlike Botox and Dysport, Xeomin is formulated without added preservative proteins. This means it contains only the “naked” active ingredient, which may reduce the likelihood of developing resistance over time. For patients in New York City who have used other wrinkle relaxers before, Xeomin can be a good alternative if treatments seem less effective. It’s also a popular choice for people seeking a more simplified, “pure” formulation while still achieving the same wrinkle-relaxing results.
How long do Xeomin results last?
The effects of Xeomin usually appear within 3 to 5 days, with full results visible in about a week. On average, results last 3 to 4 months, depending on your metabolism, muscle activity, and treatment area. With regular appointments, patients in NYC can maintain consistently smoother skin throughout the year. Some combine Xeomin with dermal fillers from the Juvederm family or Restylane family to address both wrinkles and facial volume in a single treatment plan.
Does Xeomin require downtime?
No, Xeomin is a non-surgical treatment with no downtime. Patients can resume normal activities immediately after injections, making it convenient for busy schedules in Tribeca and Lower Manhattan. Mild side effects such as redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection site may occur but typically fade within a few hours. For those managing skin concerns like rosacea or eczema, your dermatologist can recommend a personalized approach to ensure safe and effective results.
Who is a good candidate for Xeomin in NYC?
Xeomin is best for adults who want to reduce moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) while maintaining a natural range of facial expressions. It’s a particularly strong option for patients who may have developed tolerance to other wrinkle relaxers over time. In New York City, Xeomin is often chosen by patients who want predictable, natural results with a simplified formulation. For a more complete approach, Xeomin can be combined with other wrinkle relaxers, RF microneedling, or laser treatments to achieve comprehensive skin rejuvenation.
