Xeomin injections, to rediscover a fresh and rested face
Xeomin is an injectable filler agent, part of the facial rejuvenation treatments offered at Victoria Park Medispa. The human face has about sixty muscles that play a valuable role in communicating emotions. But these expressions are also partly responsible for the appearance of the deepest wrinkles, such as frown lines or forehead wrinkles.
Injectable products like Xeomin help maintain a youthful-looking skin and reduce the depth of expression lines. Similar to Botox, the famous botulinum toxin initially used against bruxism, this FDA-approved muscle relaxant helps relax facial muscles to minimize the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
What is Xeomin?
Xeomin is a protein injected in small doses under the skin, directly into the facial expression muscles. By reducing the intensity of muscle contraction signals, Xeomin injections relax the muscles. On the surface, the skin appears smoother, and expression lines are reduced.
To benefit from Xeomin injections, you must first schedule an initial appointment with a healthcare professional at Victoria Park Medispa. This first meeting allows, among other things, to analyze the client’s skin texture and establish their goals. Using the treatment plan that is then set up, an estimated number of sessions is determined. The healthcare professional explains the precautions to take before the treatment, as well as the possible side effects and the care to provide to the skin. On average, results are visible within two weeks after the procedure and can last from three to five months. After this period, the client can decide to renew the injection.
Modern cosmetic surgery
Cosmetic surgery offers solutions to people wishing to improve their physical appearance, to boost their self-confidence or to correct a potentially dangerous condition. The various procedures in this field address needs ranging from correcting birth defects to aesthetic improvements of changes affecting the body, such as weight loss or the effects of natural aging.
- Aesthetic excision: for the removal of imperfections
- Lobuloplasty: to reshape ear lobes
- Blepharoplasty: to rejuvenate the gaze
- Lipectomy: to sculpt and firm the body
- Labiaplasty: for comfort and intimate aesthetics
- Liposuction: to slim and tone the silhouette
Why choose Xeomin injections?
Taking care of your skin with moisturizers and serums is useful, but it has a very limited impact on the natural process of wrinkle formation. This is where Xeomin comes in, as it works deeply by targeting the muscles that give the face a wrinkled appearance. It is an interesting option for people who want to regain a refreshed, rested, and rejuvenated appearance without resorting to surgery. It should also be noted that Xeomin is sometimes referred to as the pure version of Botox; meaning it does not contain protein additives that the body can develop resistance to. For the client, this means that, in theory, at equivalent doses, there may be less risk of the body becoming insensitive to the action of Xeomin, even after years of injections.
Moreover, the action of Xeomin can be combined with other skin rejuvenation treatments. While hyaluronic acid injections plump and hydrate the skin, Xeomin, like Botox, helps relax the muscles. Additionally, the Xeomin treatment only takes a few minutes, allowing you to quickly return to your daily activities. It is an ideal treatment for people looking for a simple and effective way to improve their appearance without spending hours.
Treating expression lines with Xeomin injections
The particularity of Xeomin injections is that they can treat deep wrinkles. These can be more difficult to combat with surface-level skin care, as they are more pronounced. This is why Xeomin may be recommended for people who do not like the marked appearance of their expression lines. Thus, people who want to reduce their frown lines (between the eyebrows), forehead lines, crow’s feet, or even expression lines around the mouth can be good candidates. But it is also a product that can be used by people who want to prevent the appearance of new wrinkles. By targeting very mobile areas of the face and reducing muscle activity, it is possible to temporarily delay the appearance of additional fine lines.
During a session, the professional responsible for the treatment applies ice or an anesthetic cream to the patient’s face, then proceeds with the injections. Depending on the chosen area, the number of injections may vary. It is usually recommended to start with a few injections at the determined sites to observe the results and possible side effects. Among these, it should be noted that slight facial swelling is possible, as well as itching or bruising where the needle penetrated the skin. However, these common effects should dissipate quickly. After about a week (on average), the patient can notice the effects of the injection: their skin may appear tighter and firmer. To achieve a natural result and avoid a frozen effect, it is essential to rely on the good care of a qualified healthcare professional, such as those on the Victoria Park Medispa team.
In summary
Xeomin is an injectable protein, often referred to as the pure version of Botox, used to treat expression lines. It works by relaxing the muscles responsible for deep wrinkles, such as forehead lines or frown lines, by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. This allows the skin to appear smoother and more rested.
Xeomin does not contain protein additives, which reduces the risk of developing long-term resistance. This makes it an ideal option for patients seeking lasting results without fearing a loss of effectiveness after several years of use. Both products offer similar results in terms of wrinkle reduction.
Results begin to be visible about a week after the injection, with maximum effect reached within two weeks. Results typically last between three and five months, after which injections can be renewed to maintain a youthful appearance.
Victoria Park Medispa solutions to rejuvenate the body as well as the face
Thanks to advances in aesthetic treatments, slowing down the effects of aging and maintaining youthful-looking skin are now more accessible. Similar to facial rejuvenation solutions, there is a range of body treatments to restore skin without scars or stretch marks. The DP4 microneedling is one of them, allowing the safe removal of stretched tissue so that the body naturally replaces it with new cells, creating a more even skin texture.
These reassuring procedures can suit those most reluctant to undergo surgery. Other aesthetic solutions allow you to sculpt your body, such as Emsculpt Neo, which helps firm your silhouette and reduce stubborn fat. This technique is an interesting alternative to liposuction and allows you to reshape the neck, abdomen, or buttocks using an applicator that combines suction with radiofrequency heat.
