Do you have dynamic wrinkles prematurely aging you? If so, you may be a good candidate for Xeomin at Mariposa Aesthetics & Laser Center in Oklahoma City, OK. This highly effective injectable muscle relaxant quickly provides long-lasting, natural-looking results. Here’s what you need to know.
What Is Xeomin?
Xeomin is an FDA-approved injectable muscle relaxant designed to treat hyperactive muscles. It is commonly used to address cosmetic concerns such as:
- Sagging jaw
- Sagging chin muscles
- Nasolabial folds
- Sagging neck muscles
- Smile lines
- Upper forehead folds
- Vertical forehead folds
- Crow’s feet
- Sagging eyebrows
How Long Does Xeomin Last After An Injection?
The longevity of Xeomin results varies based on several factors, including muscle strength, skin health, and the treatment area. Generally, you can expect results to last between four to six months, which is significantly longer than similar treatments that typically last only two to four months.
Why Does Xeomin Last Longer?
One reason Xeomin provides such long-lasting results is its pure neurotoxic protein formula. Unlike other injectable muscle relaxants that contain additional proteins, Xeomin’s pure formula ensures longer-lasting and more effective results.
Will Xeomin Injections Lose Efficacy Over Time?
No, Xeomin does not lose efficacy over time. Other injectable muscle relaxants may become less effective due to extra binding proteins in their formulas, which trigger immune system responses. However, Xeomin’s pure formula ensures it remains effective, though you will need maintenance sessions to sustain your results.
Advantages Of Xeomin Treatment
It Isn’t Painful
Many people are hesitant to consider injectables due to fear of pain. Fortunately, Xeomin treatments are virtually painless. The needle used is very small, and most clients do not need their skin numbed before treatment. You may feel a bit of pressure during the injection, but it is not uncomfortable.
It Is Easy To Prepare For
Preparing for Xeomin is simple. Depending on your blood’s natural viscosity, you may need to stop taking blood-thinning drugs and supplements for a few days before your session. These may include:
- Corticosteroids
- Garlic supplements
- Vitamin E, C, and K supplements
- Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
- Most MAOIs
- Omega-3, -6, and -9 fatty acids
During your initial consultation, we will advise you on any specific preparations needed, such as avoiding alcohol, tobacco, and certain medications.
It Is Easy To Recover From
Recovery from Xeomin is straightforward. There is no downtime required, and you can return to work immediately after your session. You must follow some simple post-treatment guidelines for 24 to 72 hours, such as:
- Sleeping on your back
- Avoiding pressure on treatment areas
- Protecting your skin from UV rays
- Avoiding spicy foods, excess caffeine, sodium, alcohol, tobacco, vigorous exercise, and sweating
It Is Okay To Apply Cosmetics After Your Treatment
You can wear makeup after your Xeomin treatment as long as you apply and remove it gently. Use a gentle, fragrance-free facial cleanser to wash your face.
It Provides Natural-Looking Results
Xeomin results look completely natural because the treatment does not manipulate your facial structure. The neurotoxic proteins only bind to some motor receptors in the muscles, preventing hyperactivity without impeding your ability to emote. Your results will feel natural, and the neurotoxic proteins do not block communication to sensory receptors.
It Is Incredibly Convenient
Xeomin treatment sessions are quick, typically lasting 15 to 20 minutes. This short appointment time allows you to treat multiple areas of concern during a single session, making it a perfect option for a lunch break treatment.
Am I A Good Candidate For Xeomin?
To determine if you qualify for Xeomin, you must schedule an initial evaluation. Generally, if you are at least 18 years old and concerned about overactive muscles, there is a good chance you will be a suitable candidate. We will review your medical history, discuss your cosmetic goals, assess your current aesthetic, and manage your expectations during your consultation.
