    The lines and wrinkles around our mouth, forehead, and eyebrows can show the laughter and memories collected over the years—and that is certainly a beautiful thing! But seeing these permanent lines every time we look in the mirror can also impair our confidence, especially if they draw attention away from our features.

    Xeomin Injections in Chicago

    A mixture of artistry and mastery is required to inject Xeomin and get sophisticated results. At Impressions Face + Body, we have the know-how to transform your face in a completely natural way while still letting you express emotion and display your feelings like normal.

    What Is Xeomin?

    Like Botox, this injection paralyzes wrinkles, blocking the signal from the nerve to the muscle. As a result, the targeted muscle cannot contract. Xeomin offers yet another option for achieving a smoother, fresher, and younger appearance without undergoing surgery. Under the expert care of leading Illinois Facial Plastic Surgeon Steven H. Dayan, you can expect natural, effortless results.

    Xeomin is considered the “Naked” neurotoxin because it does not use “complexing proteins” unlike its competitors. When a foreign substance enters the body, the body can resist the substance and react by releasing antibodies. The absence of additives lessens the possibility of an adverse reaction from a patient. In all other regards, Xeomin is quite comparable to Botox. It is administered in the same manner, uses a similar dosage and offers all of the same benefits of relieving fine lines and wrinkles.

    Your Xeomin Consultation

    As with everyone who gets a procedure at Impressions Face + Body, you’ll first undergo a consultation. This is important as it gives us a glimpse into your thoughts surrounding your facial aesthetic goals and any concerns you may have. Your specialist will evaluate your medical history, carry out a close examination of your face, and together, come up with a plan that you’re happy with.

    How to Prepare for Your Xeomin

    About 3-5 days before treatment, you should avoid using “strong” topical products like retinoids and glycolic acids, waxing and threading your face, and even taking certain medications like anti-inflammatories. This gives your skin enough room to calm down before we inject Xeomin and reduces the risk of excessive bleeding during the procedure.

    During Your Xeomin Procedure

    It takes a relatively short time to administer Xeomin injections, and you can expect the procedure to be no longer than 30-45 minutes. Your specialist will take a small and thin needle and carefully inject it into the targeted muscles. Because the needle is thin, there’s little to no pain.

    Xeomin Aftercare & Recovery Timeline

    There’s likely to be minor swelling, bruising, or even light spotting of blood at the injection site post-procedure. This should subside after a few hours. Remember to keep your head elevated for 3-5 hours, and avoid touching the area or undergoing elaborate skincare routines for 1-3 days. The full results of Xeomin can be seen up to 2 weeks post-procedure.

    Where Can This Injection Be Used?

    This treatment actually has a broader range of treatment areas than other neurotoxin treatments. There are multiple areas of the face that can be treated, including:

    • Glabellar Lines: Smooths the frown lines between the brows for a relaxed appearance.
    • Forehead Lines: Reduces horizontal lines across the forehead, creating a youthful look.
    • Crow’s Feet: Softens fine lines at the outer corners of the eyes for a refreshed appearance.
    • Smile Lines: Minimizes wrinkles around the mouth to enhance your natural smile.
    • Bunny Lines: Softens lines on the bridge of the nose for a smoother look.
    • Nasolabial Folds: Reduces deep lines from the nose to the mouth for balanced facial contours.
    • Vertical Lip Lines: Smooths fine lines above the lips, enhancing lip definition.
    • Gummy Smile: Lowers an overly visible gum line for a more balanced smile.

    Am I a Good Candidate for Xeomin?

    If you are an adult, in good general health, and want to reduce the appearance of various lines and folds on your face, then you are a good candidate for Xeomin.

    How much does Xeomin cost in Chicago?
    The cost of a Xeomin treatment will vary based on the treatment plan, which details the areas of the face to be treated, and the expertise of the clinic. You can find out about the specific cost for your aesthetic goals at your consultation.
    How painful is Xeomin?
    Because we administer Xeomin with an ultra-thin needle and techniques that minimize pain, you should only feel a small pinch at the injection site. If needed, your specialist can apply a local numbing cream.
    Are there any Xeomin Risks?
    Some potential risks include pain or infection at the injection site, dizziness and nausea, increased sensitivity to light, and eye spasms.
    How long do Xeomin results last?
    Xeomin is known to be one of the longer-lasting injectable muscle relaxants, and results can last up to 6 months.
    What procedures pair well with Xeomin?
    As part of your overall treatment plan to improve the appearance of your skin, Xeomin can be paired with other non-surgical procedures, like facial contouring or fillers. We offer these and more at Impressions Face + Body.
    How long does Xeomin take to work?
    After Xeomin injections, it usually takes a few days for the initial effects to become noticeable. Most patients will start to see improvements within 2-3 days, but the full effect might not be visible until about 7-10 days post-procedure.
    How Soon Can You See Your Results?

    Generally speaking, regardless of the neurotoxin treatment being used, it will take about 7 to 10 days for the results to manifest on your face. Your results will involve relaxing the muscles on your face and smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, both of which will create a more youthful visage. Some patients may notice results in as little as 5 days. How quickly you notice results will depend on how well you are responding to the treatment.

    What's the Difference Between Xeomin and Botox?

    Xeomin and Botox both reduce wrinkles, but Xeomin lacks the accessory proteins found in Botox, allowing it more flexibility in settling within muscles. The "best" option varies by patient. Dr. Steven Dayan will assess your unique needs to recommend the neurotoxin that aligns with your aesthetic goals.
