If you’re looking for a way to soften lines between your eyebrows or reduce signs of facial tension, Xeomin® may be on your radar. As a newer option among wrinkle-relaxing injectables, Xeomin® appeals to patients who want subtle, natural-looking results without diving into something that feels extreme or unfamiliar.
At Parenti-Morris Eyecare, we offer Xeomin® at our Rogers office, and we’ve worked with many patients who had questions just like yours: “How is it different from Botox®?” “Will I still look like me?” “What should I expect?”
If you’re exploring wrinkle treatments but want to feel fully informed before making a decision, this guide is for you.
What Is Xeomin® and How Is It Different?
Xeomin® (incobotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved injectable treatment used to minimize dynamic wrinkles like glabellar lines—the vertical creases between your eyebrows. It’s part of the same family as Botox® and Dysport®, but with one key difference: Xeomin® doesn’t contain accessory proteins. That means it’s often referred to as a “naked injectable.”
This cleaner formulation makes it a good option for people who may have built up resistance to other neurotoxins or are looking for a more streamlined treatment.
Common treatment areas include:
- Frown lines between the brows
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Forehead lines
Your provider will recommend a treatment plan based on your goals and facial movement patterns.
Why Some Patients Start With Xeomin®
Xeomin® appeals to patients who want effective wrinkle care with a light touch. It’s especially popular with first-time injectable users who want results that are visible but not obvious.
You might prefer Xeomin® if:
- You’re looking for something effective but low-key
- You want to avoid the “frozen” look and keep your natural expressions
- You’re drawn to a minimalist formula with fewer additives
For many patients, it’s not about choosing the most dramatic results. It’s about softening lines that don’t reflect how they actually feel. Xeomin® helps achieve that balance.
Botox® or Xeomin®? What to Ask at Your Consultation
Both Xeomin® and Botox® are excellent wrinkle relaxers. They use the same active ingredient and deliver similar timelines for results—usually three to four days for early improvement and one to two weeks for full effect. Most patients enjoy their results for about three to four months.
The right option depends on your unique needs and history. During your consultation, we’ll talk through:
- Your treatment history (if any)
- Your goals and facial movement patterns
- Your preferences around ingredients and outcomes
If you’re switching from Botox® or trying wrinkle care for the first time, your provider will explain the pros and cons of each product and answer your questions directly.
What to Expect: Xeomin® Injections Step by Step
If you’ve never had an injectable before, it’s normal to feel a little nervous. But Xeomin® appointments are quick, and most patients describe the treatment as only mildly uncomfortable, if at all.
Here’s a typical treatment timeline:
- During your appointment: You’ll feel a few light pinches as the Xeomin® is injected. Most patients don’t require numbing.
- Immediately after: You might see minor redness or swelling, but this usually fades quickly.
- Same day: We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise.
- 3–4 days post-treatment: You’ll begin to notice visible softening of lines and expression wrinkles.
- At two weeks: Final results settle in; your face still moves naturally, just with fewer harsh lines.

FAQ: Xeomin® and Wrinkle Care
Will Xeomin® make me look frozen?
No. Xeomin® targets only the specific muscles responsible for expression lines, allowing the rest of your face to move naturally.
What areas can Xeomin® treat beyond frown lines?
Xeomin® is most often used for glabellar lines, but it can also treat crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, and other dynamic lines based on your provider’s recommendation.
Can Xeomin® prevent new wrinkles from forming?
Yes. By reducing muscle movement in key areas, Xeomin® can help slow the deepening of expression lines over time.
How does Xeomin® compare to Botox® on cost?
Pricing depends on the number of units used and your specific treatment plan. Many people find Xeomin® competitively priced and more cost-effective for those needing longer-term solutions due to resistance.
