Xeomin FAQs
Is Xeomin Safe?
When properly administered, small doses of botulinum toxin — the main ingredient in Xeomin — are considered to be safe. In fact, botulinum toxin products have a long history of being both safe and effective; severe adverse reactions are extremely rare. If any side effects occur, they tend to be mild and temporary. In rare cases, patients have an allergic reaction to the formula or develop an infection at an injection site.
Is Xeomin Permanent?
No, Xeomin does not provide permanent results. It usually lasts for 3 – 6 months before additional injections become necessary. This happens because your body can break down and metabolize the injections, causing the botulinum toxin to lose its effectiveness.
You can continue to visit your cosmetic dentist in Broken Arrow indefinitely to reap the benefits of Xeomin. Or, as you age, you may reach the point where you decide to pursue other aesthetic treatments instead.
How Can I Prolong My Xeomin Injections?
You may be able to prolong the results of your Xeomin injections by taking some simple steps:
- Practice good skincare. Whether or not you receive Xeomin, it is always a good idea to practice good skincare. For example, you should avoid overexposure to sunlight. You should also stay hydrated and keep your skin moisturized.
- Switch to low-intensity workouts. High-intensity workouts can boost your metabolic rate, which may cause Xeomin to break down faster. This does not mean you should avoid exercise. Rather, try to focus on low- to moderate-intensity movements.
- Manage your stress. Stress can cause tension in your muscles, which may cause Xeomin to wear off faster. It can also accelerate your body’s overall aging process. Try to take time each day to de-stress.
- Avoid nicotine products. Smoking, vaping, and similar habits can break down collagen in your skin, which can make you look older. Plus, continually puckering your lips around cigarettes can cause lines to form around your mouth.
- Take a zinc supplement. Some research indicates that a zinc supplement can prolong the effects of botulinum toxin products.
What Happens If I Stop Xeomin Injections?
As the Xeomin is metabolized, normal movement will return to the targeted muscles, which means that your wrinkles and fine lines will start to become more noticeable over time. However, you will still likely look younger than if you had never received Xeomin injections.
Who Should Not Get Xeomin?
Xeomin is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women. It is also not for people with certain neuromuscular disorders (such as ALS), those with active skin infections at the injection sites, and people who have known allergies to any of Xeomin’s ingredients.
