XEOMIN® | Bluffton, SC

While you may have been able to smile, frown, laugh, and make other facial expressions without worrying about the lasting effects in earlier years, you may now be realizing that the facial lines and wrinkles caused by these expressions are remaining, even after your face relaxes. These lines are called dynamic wrinkles, and they're caused when the facial muscle stays contracted from overuse, creating etched lines in the skin. XEOMIN is an injectable wrinkle relaxer, like BOTOX®, that temporarily relaxes the facial muscles with a purified strain of botulinum toxin type A. The product treats dynamic wrinkles, causing them to appear softer and smoother. Call VIP Cosmetic Surgery in Bluffton, SC to book a XEOMIN consult with medical director Dr. Kenneth Farr today.

XEOMIN injections at VIP Cosmetic Surgery typically take less than 30 minutes from start to finish and can be performed right after your consultation. The parts of the face receiving treatment will be sterilized before XEOMIN is carefully injected with a fine-gauge needle. The procedure is fast and does not generally cause great discomfort so local anesthesia is not necessary but available upon request. Prior to your return home, pressure and cold compresses will be applied to the injection sites to reduce minor bleeding.

Following your XEOMIN session, you may have some swelling, bruising, and redness at the injection sites, but these symptoms are normal and should dissipate over the next few days. Most patients will see marked improvements 2 – 3 days after their XEOMIN treatment with optimal results occurring after about ten days. Results usually last 3 – 4 months. Repeat treatments at VIP Cosmetic Surgery can be arranged to maintain your outcomes.

How much does XEOMIN cost?
Your cost for a XEOMIN treatment will depend on the amount needed to match your needs. During your initial consultation, you will share your aesthetic goals so your injector can develop your personalized plan and estimate your cost. VIP Cosmetic Surgery takes many forms of payment and frequently has deals on XEOMIN and other injectable treatments.

Should I get XEOMIN or BOTOX?
Both BOTOX and XEOMIN are wrinkle relaxers activated by botulinum toxin. The skilled injectors at VIP Cosmetic Surgery know the subtle differences between XEOMIN and other wrinkle relaxers, so they can determine which will deliver the desired results for you. During your initial consultation, your injector will listen to your needs and concerns before deciding if XEOMIN or a different brand is right for your goals.

Should I get XEOMIN or fillers?
Injectable wrinkle relaxers like XEOMIN improve dynamic facial wrinkles, particularly frown and smile lines. A wrinkle filler improves static wrinkles and adds volume. Tell your injector about your needs/concerns and goals so they can decide if you should get XEOMIN, a filler, or both.

Is XEOMIN safe?
XEOMIN has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a cosmetic treatment, which can be used safely on most men and women. In your initial consultation, your injector will ask several questions, like any known allergies plus prescription medications, herbs, and supplements you are using. You should be open and honest to avoid any complications or side effects.

How often should I get XEOMIN injections?
Results from a XEOMIN treatment may be visible for up to three months. Each patient will metabolize XEOMIN differently, which determines how long their results last. During your consult, your injector will discuss how soon you should schedule your next appointment.

Age comes with a few great gifts, such as wisdom and grace, but it can also come with some undesired changes, like facial wrinkles and fine lines. Release and smooth out dynamic facial wrinkles with XEOMIN treatments at VIP Cosmetic Surgery.
