What Is Xeomin? A Burlington Ontario Injector Explains
If you have been researching wrinkle-relaxing injectables, you have probably come across Xeomin. At Lift Beauty Bar in Burlington, Ontario, Xeomin is one of the treatments offered by Registered Nurse injector Krista Brunetti BScN RN. Below are answers to the questions clients ask most often about Xeomin in Burlington Ontario. Xeomin is a botulinum toxin type A injectable that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles, the lines that appear when you frown, squint or lift your brows.
How Is Xeomin Different From Botox?
Xeomin, Botox and Dysport all belong to the same family of botulinum toxin treatments and work in a similar way. What sets Xeomin apart is its purified, "naked" formulation: the accessory proteins found in some other products are removed, leaving only the active ingredient. Some clinicians believe this streamlined formula may reduce the chance of the body building resistance over time, though all three are effective options. During your consultation, Krista helps you decide which product suits your goals and facial anatomy.
What Does a Xeomin Treatment in Burlington Involve?
A Xeomin appointment is quick and comfortable. After assessing your facial movement and the areas you would like to soften, Krista uses a very fine needle to place small amounts of product into the targeted muscles, commonly the forehead, the frown lines between the brows and the crow's feet. Most appointments take only a few minutes and there is little to no downtime, so many clients return to their day right afterward.
When Will I See Results and How Long Do They Last?
Xeomin usually begins working within three to four days, with the full effect visible around one to two weeks after treatment. Results typically last three to four months before a touch-up is needed. Krista recommends a two-week check after your first session so any small adjustments can be made and your result looks natural and balanced.
Is Xeomin Safe, and Who Should Inject It?
Xeomin has a well-established safety profile when administered by a qualified medical professional, and much of a good outcome comes down to who is holding the needle. Krista Brunetti BScN RN is a Registered Nurse injector who leads the medical aesthetics practice at Lift Beauty Bar, which operates inside Appleby Plastic Surgery in Burlington.
