About

FDA-approved in 2011 for treating frown lines (glabellar lines), Xeomin works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to facial muscles, preventing the contractions that cause dynamic wrinkles. Like Botox and Dysport, it smooths existing lines and prevents new wrinkles from forming with regular maintenance.

  • Pure formulation without accessory proteins ("naked" neurotoxin)
  • FDA-approved for frown lines with off-label cosmetic uses
  • Reduced risk of antibody resistance compared to other neurotoxins
  • No refrigeration required, ensuring product stability
  • Results comparable to Botox and Dysport lasting 3-4 months
