What Are Neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators are injectable treatments that temporarily relax targeted muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. By blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions, these treatments can smooth out areas like the forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet. They are widely used to create a more refreshed and youthful appearance.
What Is Xeomin?
Xeomin is a specific type of neuromodulator that is used for dynamic wrinkles, those wrinkles that are caused by repetitive facial movements. It is specifically approved for treating the frown lines, or glabellar lines, that are noticeable between the eyebrows. It uses the same active ingredient (botulinum toxin type A) as other well-known neuromodulators like Botox®, but it has differences in its formulation that set it apart.
What Makes Xeomin Unique?
Xeomin stands out because it is a “naked” neurotoxin. This means it contains only the active ingredient necessary for muscle relaxation without any additives such as complexing proteins. These complexing proteins are removed from the formulation using Xeomin’s proprietary XTRACT Technology®, a process that not only makes the formulation pure but also reduces its molecular weight.
The Benefits of a “Naked” Neuromodulator
Reduced Risk of Reactions
With a simpler composition, this neuromodulator carries a lower chance of triggering allergic reactions. By eliminating unnecessary proteins, Xeomin offers a more focused treatment with fewer components that might cause sensitivity.
Reduced Risk of Antibody Formation
The pure formulation of Xeomin minimizes the likelihood of your body developing antibodies against the treatment. This means that patients can continue to benefit from Xeomin injections without worrying about reduced effectiveness over time.
Simpler Treatments
Since Xeomin contains only the active ingredient needed for muscle relaxation, there’s less for you to consider when evaluating its suitability. The straightforward formulation of Xeomin injections allows for a more confident decision without the need to research additional ingredients.
Natural-Looking Results
Xeomin works subtly, allowing treated areas to look smooth yet natural. Its precise action helps achieve a refreshed appearance without the overly “frozen” look some might worry about, especially with our expert injections.

Comparing Xeomin With Other Neuromodulators
Xeomin vs. DAXXIFY®
DAXXIFY is known for its long-lasting effects, which can extend up to six months or more for some patients. DAXXIFY includes a peptide in its formulation which contributes to its extended duration. DAXXIFY may be a good option for those seeking fewer injections over time. However, for those who prefer a treatment with fewer ingredients, Xeomin might be a more suitable choice.
Xeomin vs. Dysport®
Dysport has a slightly different diffusion pattern compared to Xeomin, which can make it more effective for treating larger areas such as the forehead. It tends to spread more easily, which can be beneficial depending on the area being treated. Dysport contains milk proteins which can extend longevity but may make it unsuitable for those with milk allergies.
Xeomin vs. Botox
Botox is perhaps the most well-known neuromodulator and has a long history of effectiveness in treating wrinkles. It has a slightly different formulation and a wider range of applications. Botox is approved for frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet.
How to Choose the Right Treatment for You
Schedule a Consultation
A consultation is the perfect time to discuss all of your treatment options and get to know your injector. Once we understand your goals and preferences, we can let you know if we recommend Xeomin or a different neuromodulator. It is important that you choose an experienced injector like Dr. Cynthia who understands facial anatomy and the differences between products.
Discuss Your Aesthetic Goals
Some of our patients want lighter treatments while others are interested in more significant changes. We honor the individual and make sure we are adjusting our techniques to the unique goals that you have. Your goals will also help us select the right neuromodulator.
Discuss Your History With Cosmetic Treatments
If you have had cosmetic treatments in the past, it’s important to share that history with us. Knowing how you responded to previous neuromodulators can help us determine which product might be the most effective for you moving forward.
Consider Your Lifestyle and Preferences
We’ll also consider factors like how frequently you’re willing to return for maintenance and any preferences you have regarding the formulation of the neuromodulator. Your lifestyle can influence the choice of product, especially if you prefer a longer-lasting treatment or if there are ingredients you want to avoid.
