Xeomin Treatment In Glen Burnie, MD

Xeomin Treatment

Xeomin Treatment is a great way to get rid of deeper wrinkles and fine lines that show up on your face as you age. Xeomin, a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, works like Botox but has one key difference – it’s a “naked” injectable with a purer formulation because it doesn’t contain any extra proteins or additives.

Our patients want to see results quickly. The good news is that Xeomin starts working in just 3-4 days, and you’ll see the full results after about two weeks. The results usually last 3-6 months, based on the treated area and your body’s metabolism. Our Glen Burnie location uses Xeomin to treat several areas where dynamic wrinkles form from overactive facial muscles – the glabella (between eyebrows), frontalis (forehead), and crow’s feet (around eyes). Xeomin stands out from other neurotoxins because it targets why these expression lines happen by stopping nerve signals that make muscles contract.

Understanding Xeomin: A Purified Neurotoxin

Xeomin has emerged as a unique option among botulinum toxin treatments that work as the life-blood of facial rejuvenation. Let’s look at what makes this treatment stand out in the neurotoxin market.

What is botulinum toxin type A?

Botulinum toxin type A blocks acetylcholine release and acts as a neuromuscular blocking agent. This powerful substance targets your nervous system and prevents chemical messengers from triggering muscle contractions. The toxin relaxes specific facial muscles by blocking nerve signals when injected.

The process happens in four steps. The toxin binds to nerve terminal receptors and enters through endocytosis. It moves through the cell membrane and cleaves SNAP-25—a protein your body needs to release acetylcholine. This temporary nerve disconnection stops muscle contractions, so wrinkles from repeated facial expressions smooth out.

How Xeomin is different from Botox and Dysport

Xeomin, Botox, and Dysport all contain botulinum toxin type A, but their formulations are different by a lot. Xeomin stands alone as the “naked injectable” with just pure 150 kDa neurotoxin, without any complexing proteins or additives. Botox, on the other hand, comes as a 900 kDa complex where protective proteins surround the same neurotoxin.

The protein content shows this difference clearly. Xeomin has just 0.6 ng/100U of protein while Botox contains 5 ng/100U. Xeomin doesn’t need refrigeration and stays stable at room temperature for up to 4 years, which proves complexing proteins aren’t needed to stabilize the neurotoxin.

Xeomin boasts the highest specific neurotoxin activity at 227 units/ng. Dysport follows at 154 units/ng and Botox at 137 units/ng. This means Xeomin mostly contains active neurotoxin rather than denatured or inactive parts.

FDA approval and safety profile of Xeomin

The FDA approved Xeomin in 2010 and expanded its cosmetic uses later. The original approval covered glabellar lines (frown lines between eyebrows), and the FDA added forehead lines and crow’s feet. Doctors recommend 20 units for glabellar lines, 20 units for forehead lines, and 24 units for crow’s feet.

Clinical studies show Xeomin works just like Botox when used in a 1:1 ratio. The safety profiles of both products look similar. Studies with 908 participants showed almost identical side effect rates—26.6% for Xeomin and 26.0% for Botox. Side effects like dysphagia, ptosis, and muscle weakness usually stay mild to moderate.

These differences help explain why doctors might recommend this purified neurotoxin to patients seeking Xeomin Treatment in Glen Burnie, MD for specific esthetic concerns.

How Xeomin Works to Smooth Wrinkles

Xeomin’s effectiveness comes from knowing how to stop specific neuromuscular pathways that cause facial wrinkles.

Blocking nerve signals to relax facial muscles

Xeomin blocks acetylcholine release, a significant neurotransmitter that makes muscles contract. The botulinum toxin type A in Xeomin works like a gatekeeper at the neuromuscular junction after injection into targeted facial muscles. Nerves and muscles can’t communicate temporarily, which “freezes” the muscle and limits its contraction.

Targeting dynamic wrinkles caused by expression

Repetitive facial expressions create dynamic wrinkles through years of smiling, frowning, and squinting. Your skin loses elasticity over time, and these repeated muscle movements leave visible lines even at rest. Xeomin works best on frown lines between eyebrows, horizontal forehead lines, and crow’s feet around eyes. The overactive muscles relax, which lets the skin above them smooth out naturally.

Expected onset and duration of results

Patients usually see improvements within 3-4 days after treatment. Clinical studies show that 70% of patients notice visible changes in just two days. Results fully develop within 7-10 days. The benefits last 3-4 months typically, though some patients see improvements for up to 6 months. Yafeh Aesthetics can schedule maintenance treatments to maintain optimal results.

Common Xeomin Injection Areas in Glen Burnie

Patients at Yafeh Aesthetics in Glen Burnie find Xeomin offers more than just wrinkle treatment. This purified neurotoxin works on multiple facial concerns through targeted injections.

Glabella: Treating frown lines between eyebrows

The glabella area creates vertical lines between your eyebrows during frowning. These “11 lines” show excellent results with neurotoxin treatment. A typical session uses 20 units of Xeomin to relax the muscles that cause these persistent furrows.

Frontalis: Smoothing horizontal forehead lines

Repeated eyebrow raising leads to horizontal forehead lines that can make you look worried or tired. The frontalis muscle responds well to Xeomin, and FDA guidelines suggest about 20 units. Patients get a fresh look without the frozen appearance.

Crow’s Feet: Reducing lines around the eyes

Fine lines spread from your eyes’ outer corners and become noticeable during smiling or squinting. Careful Xeomin injections around the orbicularis oculi muscle reduce these lines naturally. The FDA suggests 24 units for the best results with these canthal lines.

Chin and jawline contouring with Xeomin

Xeomin shines in facial contouring too. The mentalis muscle gets targeted injections to smooth chin dimpling or “orange peel chin”. Masseter muscle treatments can refine an overdeveloped jawline. This technique has grown 14% yearly, particularly among adults 25-40 who want non-surgical options.

Neck bands and bunny lines treatment options

Vertical platysmal cords in the neck create an aged look but respond well to Xeomin. The treatment also works on bunny lines – those wrinkles that appear on your nose bridge during scrunching. These combined treatments enhance your overall facial appearance.

Xeomin Treatment Process at Yafeh Aesthetics

Your trip to smoother skin starts with a tailored treatment approach at Yafeh Aesthetics in Glen Burnie. Safety, comfort, and natural-looking results remain our priorities during your Xeomin experience.

Original consultation and facial assessment

Each treatment begins with a complete consultation. Dr. Amir Yeganeh assesses your facial structure’s unique features, talks about your esthetic goals, and reviews your medical history. We need to know about your medications, supplements, and previous neurotoxin experiences to determine if Xeomin treatment suits you. This full picture helps us create a custom plan that targets your specific concerns.

Injection procedure: What to expect

The treatment starts with cleansing the area and applying numbing cream if you prefer. Your Xeomin injection session usually takes just 10-20 minutes. We use a fine needle to deliver small amounts of Xeomin into carefully mapped treatment areas. Patients typically describe feeling a brief pinch rather than pain. We might ask you to make facial expressions afterward to help the product spread effectively.
