XEOMIN® belongs to a class of drugs called neurotoxins or neuromodulators. The action of neurotoxins weakens the contraction of specific facial muscles to minimize dynamic lines or wrinkles. It is injected directly into these muscles to temporarily prevent the nerve signals from communicating to reduce the contraction of the facial muscles.
The most common locations for treatment are in the upper third of a person’s face, which includes horizontal forehead furrows, vertical lines between the eyebrows, and “crow’s feet” around the eyes. Xeomin® is an FDA-approved anti-wrinkle injection just like BOTOX® and Dysport®. Plastic Surgeon Dr. Frank L. Stile offers Xeomin® at Stile Aesthetics to dramatically diminish the appearance of facial wrinkles. If you are interested in learning about how Xeomin® can help you, call our Las Vegas, NV, office today for a free consultation.
Prior to receiving Xeomin®, your doctor/Injector will thoroughly assess your face to determine the correct dosage and the most appropriate site(s) for injection. Typically, Dr. Stile or his master nurse injector will ask you to squint your eyes or wrinkle your forehead so they can examine the wrinkles in these areas. This simple exercise will greatly assist them in creating a treatment plan that is unique to you. The appropriate sites will be marked and Xeomin® will be carefully injected. Typically, there is little to no pain during treatment.

However, Xeomin®’s results are often seen in about 5 – 10 days and typically last 3 – 6 months.
