XEOMIN® (incobotulinumtoxinA) is a prescription medication injected into the muscles in order to treat a variety of conditions. It’s FDA-approved for its use as a cosmetic to temporarily improve the wrinkles or frown lines between the eyebrows, also known as the glabellar lines. Squinting and frowning causes the muscles between your eyebrows to contract, leading the skin to furrow and crease. XEOMIN® relaxes the muscles of the face and smooths the skin between your eyebrows for a more youthful look. XEOMIN® is a “naked injectable” due to the purity of the compound and absence of additives, and thus, it is less likely that the human body will develop a resistance to it in contrast to other types of Botulinum toxins such as Botox or Dysport. These wrinkles are known as dynamic wrinkles since they are caused by dynamic muscle contractions from facial expressions. Wrinkles cannot be prevented, however, they can be treated with injections like XEOMIN®. To learn more about what Xeomin can do for you, schedule a personal consultation at Dermfx today.
