If you have moderate to severe frown or forehead lines, crow’s feet, or smile lines around your eyes, Xeomin injections may be a good option to make you appear more relaxed and less tired.
If you received BOTOX or Dysport and found that your improvement is less than expected, didn’t last as long as it should, or has decreased for a given dosage, you may respond better to Xeomin. Our experience shows that people who respond poorly to BOTOX often respond well to Xeomin. Failure to respond to BOTOX may be due to the formation of antibodies to proteins that surround the active ingredient of BOTOX. Since the active ingredient of Xeomin is not coated with protein, antibodies do not form and the patient may respond better.
You should not have Xeomin if you are pregnant, have an infection at the site of Xeomin injection, or have multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome. If you have any neurological disease or history of temporary paralysis, loss of vision, or double vision, you should not have Xeomin injections. These disorders may increase the risk of complications with Xeomin injection and worsen an underlying disorder.
Xeomin and other injectables are measured by units. The amount of Xeomin units a patient may need will vary. It will depend on the area being treated and the strength of the muscle. Patients should talk with their doctor about their desired results to determine how many units they will need.
