XEOMIN AESTHETIC
WHAT ISXEOMIN® AESTHETIC?
XEOMIN AESTHETIC (incobotulinumtoxinA) is a prescription medication injected into muscles and used to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (Glabellar Lines) in adults. XEOMINAESTHETIC contains Botulinum Toxin Type A, a protein purified from the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum.
HOW DOESXEOMIN AESTHETIC WORK?
When you squint or frown, the muscles between your eyebrows contract, causing the skin to furrow and fold. Over time, as your skin ages and loses some of its elasticity, these repeated contractions can cause persistent frown lines.
Botulinum Toxin Type A – the active ingredient inXEOMIN AESTHETIC acts on nerve endings in muscles to prevent muscle fibers from contracting. By reducing these contractions,XEOMINAESTHETIC can temporarily reduce the lines between your eyebrows.

XEOMIN AESTHETIC PROCEDURE PREP
Read Up onXEOMIN
Regardless of what procedure you’re having done, it would be best if you didn’t go into it without a wealth of knowledge about what it entails. That’s why, before you go in for your firstXEOMIN appointment, you need to read up onXEOMIN®.
Read about its benefits. Would you please read about the way that it’s administered? Read about any possible dangers it might cause.
WhileXEOMIN is a primarily helpful substance, it’s not without its downsides. A variety of potential side effects accompanyXEOMIN, including pain, redness, drooping eyelids, and headaches.
By garnering information such as this, you can ensure that you’re sure about going through the procedure.
Schedule Your Appointment at an Appropriate Time
GettingXEOMIN can sometimes be an anxiety-inducing and stressful experience.
Schedule your procedure on a fairly laid-back day that allows plenty of “downtime” both before it begins and after.
It’s a good idea for new patients to schedule their first appointments in the morning. By doing so, you don’t have to endure a long, potentially anxious wait.
Ask Your Doctor About Your Medications
The fact of the matter is that some medications don’t mix well withXEOMIN. If you’re on medications, you need to discuss them with your doctor. In some cases, you’ll be advised to stay on them; in other cases, you’ll be advised to stop taking them for the time being.
Some medications don’t go well withXEOMIN, including aspirin, ibuprofen, blood thinners, muscle relaxers, and allergy meds. If you’re taking these medications, you’ll need to be off of them in the days leading up to and the days following your appointment. Again, please consult your doctor before this or any procedure.
XEOMIN AESTHETIC AFTERCARE
The goal ofXEOMIN Aftercare is to encourage optimal treatment results. It can also minimize the risk of bruising and spreading to other areas.
Generally, on the day you getXEOMIN, it’s a good idea to:
- Gently exercise your face
- Relax for the rest of the day
- Maintain a normal heart rate (no exercise)
- Avoid touching, rubbing, or physical pressure on the affected area
- Leave the treated area alone (no makeup, etcetera)
You can also follow the best practices forXEOMIN aftercare below.
Return to your Normal Activities
XEOMIN injections don’t require any recovery time. Therefore, you won’t have to take off work or school. You can resume your usual activities right after.
Wait 24 hours to Exercise
If exercise is part of your daily routine, wait at least 24 hours to work out. Your doctor might suggest waiting for several days.
Physical activity increases blood flow. This could potentially spread the toxin to unintended areas and reduce its effectiveness at the injection site. It also increases the risk of bruising.
Exercise also contracts your muscles, which may decrease the toxin’s effectiveness.
However, it’s safe to do facial exercises like:
- Frowning
- Smiling
- Raising your eyebrows
These movements can help the effects ofXEOMIN show up sooner.
Go Makeup-Free
If you received aXEOMIN injection in your face, take a break from makeup for 24 hours. Applying makeup will rub the skin, potentially dispersing the toxin.
Sit Up
Sit up for the first 4 hours after gettingXEOMIN. Bending or lying down might spread the toxin and promote bruising.
Ask your Doctor about Medications
Some medications might increase your risk of bruising. Be sure to ask your doctor when it’s safe to start retaking them.
