Xeomin is an FDA-approved neuromodulator used to soften lines caused by repeated facial expression, most commonly the “11s” between the brows, forehead creases, and crow’s feet. What makes Xeomin unique is its purity. It’s known as a “naked injectable,” meaning it contains only a single active ingredient, botulinum toxin type A, with no added proteins. This streamlined formulation makes Xeomin a popular choice for guests who desire a clean, minimalist option or feel they’ve developed a decreased response to other neurotoxins over time.
Xeomin relaxes targeted muscles gently, allowing the skin to smooth and settle into a softer, more serene appearance.
With its pure profile and subtle finish, Xeomin offers a range of aesthetic benefits, including:
To support the best outcome:

Xeomin is an FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A injectable treatment used to temporarily improve moderate to severe frown lines and other upper facial lines. Xeomin works by blocking nerve signals to the targeted facial muscles, reducing muscle activity so the skin can smooth and wrinkles become less noticeable, while preserving natural facial expressions.
Xeomin injections are commonly used to treat frown lines, crow’s feet, forehead lines, and other facial wrinkles for cosmetic purposes.
Most patients begin noticing results within several days, with full effects appearing in about two weeks. Xeomin is a temporary treatment, and results typically vary depending on metabolism and the area treated, lasting up to 3 months for optimal results.
Xeomin contains a highly purified active ingredient without accessory proteins. While both Botox and Xeomin are botulinum toxin type A products, Xeomin is known as a “naked” formulation. This can be beneficial for patients who feel other treatments are no longer producing their desired effects. Xeomin is manufactured by Merz Pharmaceuticals.
Xeomin helps soften facial wrinkles, smooth forehead wrinkles, reduce severe frown lines, and minimize crow’s feet, creating a more rested and youthful appearance. Many patients choose Xeomin for natural results and a refined look without frozen expression.
The most common side effects of Xeomin include mild pain, swelling, or redness at the injection site. Potential risks may include dry mouth, headache, eyelid drooping, blurred vision, or muscle weakness. Rare but serious side effects of Xeomin can include trouble breathing, double vision, difficulty swallowing, or allergic reactions. Seek medical help immediately if symptoms become severe or life-threatening.
Patients with certain medical conditions — including myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton syndrome, multiple sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig’s disease — should avoid Xeomin. It should also not be used in areas with a skin infection at the planned injection site. Discuss all medications, sleep medicine, other drugs, or other botulinum toxin products with your provider before treatment.
Yes. Xeomin has FDA approval for both cosmetic and medical uses. When administered by a licensed healthcare provider, Xeomin is considered an effective treatment with a well-established safety profile. Your provider will evaluate your medical history, potential risks, and whether Xeomin is appropriate for you as an actual patient.
Before receiving Xeomin, tell your healthcare provider about all medical conditions, allergies, previous surgeries, or if you’ve had reactions to other botulinum toxin products. Discuss medications such as blood thinners or sleep medicine, and whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding. This helps ensure the safest approach and the desired effects for your treatment plan.
