Wrinkles that show up on your face can make you look older than you feel. If you’re looking to reduce the appearance of wrinkles on your face in a way that looks natural, the Xeomin might be the right injectable for you. This fast-acting treatment is safe, effective, and actually works. That’s why we offer it to our clients at Mia Bella Donna Medspa in Overland Park, KS.
How Quickly Does Xeomin Work?
If you’re looking for ways to achieve a youthful, glowing look, then going with an injectable could be the right choice for you. There are many different treatment options available that can help to diminish or even get rid of wrinkles and fine lines. But if you’re looking for a safe, non-invasive, and fast method, then an injectable is the right way to go.
Xeomin is a fast-acting injectable that will give you the results you’re looking for quickly. Within just a few days of your treatment, you’ll notice a difference in your overall appearance. After only a week or two, you’ll see the full results of this treatment.
What Is Xeomin?
If you’re considering getting this treatment, then it’s important to know what exactly it is. This is an injectable very similar to Botox. It is approved for the treatment of frown lines or the wrinkles that appear right between your eyebrows.
This is a safe and FDA-approved treatment that works quickly and requires very little downtime. Unlike surgical solutions to fine lines, you’ll have a very fast healing process along with very little risk involved with the treatment itself.
What Causes Wrinkles?
Looking to get rid of your wrinkles? The first thing you should do is learn about why wrinkles appear in the first place. They can be caused by a variety of factors, the main one being changes to the proteins in your skin.
Your skin is made up of proteins called collagen and elastin. These proteins are what allow your skin to maintain its structure. However, over time, the amount of elastin and collagen in your skin begins to diminish. This is a natural side effect of aging, and it can be exacerbated by things like prolonged sun exposure and repeated facial movements that cause dynamic wrinkles.
What Are Dynamic Wrinkles?
There are several types of wrinkles, including dynamic wrinkles. These wrinkles are the wrinkles that are formed by the expression you make throughout the day. When you laugh, smile, frown, squint or make any other type of expression, the skin on top of your muscles moves along with the muscles.
While your collagen and elastin levels are still high, your skin will be able to easily bounce back from these expressions, smoothing out as soon as you relax your face again. However, as these proteins begin to diminish, your skin is less able to smooth itself out, resulting in those areas staying wrinkled even when you’re not making those expressions.
How Does Xeomin Fix Wrinkles?
Dynamic wrinkles can be particularly hard to treat because they’re caused by making facial expressions. Not only are facial expressions unavoidable, but they are also a way to show joy, sadness, and all the other emotions that allow us to connect with others. Avoiding making facial expressions simply isn’t realistic.
But just because these wrinkles are unavoidable, that doesn’t mean that they need to be a permanent fixture to your face. Injectables like this one are extremely effective ways to treat dynamic wrinkles, offering better results than simply applying topical creams and faster results than getting a surgical procedure.
How Does It Work?
This injectable is a neuromodulator made from the same bacterium that Botox is made with. This bacterium is called Clostridium botulinum, which creates botulinum toxin type A. These words may look intimidating, but the injectables that use this ingredient are carefully studied and perfectly safe.
When you receive this injectable, the neuromodulator works to intercept the signals that your nerves send to your muscles. By blocking these signals, the injectable forces the skin to relax. This results in your skin remaining smooth and offering you a natural, youthful appearance.
What Can It Treat?
This injectable can treat essentially any wrinkles that are caused by the dynamic movement of the face. It’s been approved primarily to treat your frown lines, the wrinkles that are formed in between your eyebrows when you furrow them.
However, these aren’t the only types of wrinkles that it can treat. If you have crow’s feet, or fine lines around the eyes caused by squinting, or the horizontal lines across your forehead that are formed when you raise your brow.
What Is Treatment Like?
If you’re thinking of getting this injectable, then you may be wondering what the treatment process looks like. When you visit our clinic, you can trust that you’ll receive your injections from highly-trained technicians in a safe and clean environment.
What Do I Do to Prepare?
When you come in for your injection, there is very little that you need to do beforehand. While some treatment options for wrinkles involve a to-do list, there are only a few things you should be mindful of before you come in for your treatment.
The main thing that you should avoid is drinking any alcohol for at least 24 hours before you come in. Medications like aspirin should also be avoided, as should any medications that are known to cause thinning of the blood.
What Happens During the Treatment?
One of the best things about getting an injectable treatment is that the treatment process itself is fast and simple. After we’ve discussed which areas you’d like to treat and what your expectations are, we’ll begin preparing your skin to receive the injection.
The first thing we’ll do is thoroughly clean the areas being treated. Then, a small amount of numbing cream will be applied which will help to make the process painless. Once your skin has been prepared, the Xeomin will be strategically applied to your desired areas using a fine and precise needle.
The Benefits of Xeomin
An injectable treatment like this one comes with a myriad of benefits that you’re sure to appreciate.
It’s Safe
When it comes to any type of treatment or procedure, one of your first questions is like to be: is it safe? One of the benefits of going with an injectable like this one over a surgical procedure or other types of treatments is that it’s completely safe. This treatment has been carefully formulated and studied, and the injectable is FDA-approved.
One of the best parts of this injectable is that, unlike Botox, it contains no additive proteins. While Botox is a very effective way to treat wrinkles, it does contain some additives which may not be safe for those who are particularly sensitive. Xeomin doesn’t contain any, making it a great option for those who have shown some reactivity to the additives in Botox.
It’s Fast
Treatment options like surgical procedures can take a long time. You may have to spend weeks leading up to your procedure preparing for it. You’ll also have to spend several hours under the knife, and you’ll need to factor in the recovery time afterward, too.
But with an injectable like this one, you need to do very little to prepare beforehand. The treatment itself is also very quick. Most sessions last somewhere between 10 and 20 minutes, which means you can get back to your busy day quickly.
There’s No Downtime
One of the biggest drawbacks to getting a surgical procedure is that there is often a long recovery time afterward. You need to be very careful during this period, which doesn’t make it your most convenient option.
But going with this injectable means that you don’t need to worry about a long recovery period. Since this treatment is non-invasive, you can get back to your life right after your treatment is completed. While you may need to avoid things like direct sunlight and strenuous physical activity, you’ll be able to go back to work once you’re finished with your session.
It’s Long-Lasting
Injectables like this one aren’t permanent, and you’ll need to come in for further treatments if you want to maintain your results. But that doesn’t mean that the injections aren’t going to last for a long time.
You can expect your injection to last up to four months. Some additional factors will influence how long your results last, including how much of the product is injected into the skin during the time of treatment. When you come to our clinic, we can discuss what an effective treatment plan looks like for you, and help you determine how often you should come in for treatment to get the results you’re looking for.
Who Can Get This Treatment?
Almost anyone makes a good candidate for this injection. It’s a great option for anybody who is looking to rejuvenate their appearance and look younger and healthier. Wrinkles like crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, and frown lines can make you look older. They can also make you look grouchy or unhappy.
If you are in general good health, then this treatment is a great way to get the youthful, natural-looking results that you want. It can also be a good option for candidates who want to prevent wrinkles and fine lines from appearing. However, if you have any irritation or infections around the desired sites, you should avoid getting this injection until your condition has cleared up.
What Else Can It Help?
While treating wrinkles and fine lines around the brow and forehead is this injectable’s primary purpose, it can be used to treat other areas as well. For example, those looking to fix dimples on the chin may find it helpful. It can also keep the corners of your smile from drooping.
Some medical conditions can be treated with this product, too. If you have crossed eyes, eyelid spasms, or uncontrollable blinking, this injectable can help. It may also be beneficial for those who experience chronic migraines, have cervical dystonia, or experience muscle spasms in the face and neck.
