Xeomin Injection

Xeomin 50, 100, and 200 unit injections are among the most renowned alternatives to Botox 100 or Botox 50 units used in cosmetic beauty treatments. This product by Merz Pharmaceuticals is also popular for eliminating neck pain symptoms and treating muscle spasms.

The product consists of a combination of complex proteins and botulinum toxin type A; all ingredients included in the composition have received FDA approval, which means they are safe and cause minimal to no adverse reactions. Before the treatment, we recommend talking to a doctor to ensure your current treatment plans won’t cause negative drug interactions or incompatibility with the product.

Target Areas for the Botulinum Toxin-Injectable

The Xeomin injection can treat certain medical conditions and serve various aesthetic purposes. Unlike dermal fillers, Xeomin has a shorter duration (up to six months, typically around four). It works well to address conditions such as cervical dystonia or chronic migraines. After injection into the muscle, the solution starts reaching the nerve endings and blocks their contractions to achieve the desired results; generally, up to two weeks are needed for Xeomin to begin working correctly.

In plastic surgery, Xeomin is most effective for the following purposes:

• Reduction of severe frown lines
• Elimination of crow’s feet
• Treatment of forehead lines and glabellar lines
• General reduction of facial wrinkles on the skin surface

Xeomin begins to work right after the injection session, but some time is needed to see the results properly. After all adverse reactions subside, it is possible to see the full effect of the product.

Contraindications:

The following limitations should be considered before choosing Xeomin for a specific treatment area:

• Intolerance to any components included in the drug composition
• Wounds or irritations at the injection sites
• Recent cosmetic procedures or the presence of implants in the treated region
• Acute stages of chronic diseases (such as epilepsy or diabetes mellitus)
• Oncology
• Flu-like symptoms (fever, weakness, etc.)

It is unknown how Xeomin components can affect pregnant and breastfeeding women, so it is better to consult with a medical professional before the treatment to ensure the procedure will be safe for both mother and child.

Common Adverse Reactions for Xeomin Injections

Any product for aesthetic treatments can cause side effects, so it is better to be aware of these and plan the most beneficial aftercare routine to speed up the recovery process. Be prepared for these symptoms:

• Injection site reactions (redness, swelling, bruising, etc.)
• Headache, slight dizziness
• High sensitivity in the injection region

A few days are usually enough for these to disappear entirely; if not, contact a doctor for professional recommendations. It’s also better to inform a specialist about allergic reactions, severe muscle relaxation (frozen face), painful sensations in the injection area, and other severe adverse reactions. This way, you’ll avoid complications and possible health problems.
