What Is Xeomin®?
This innovative, FDA-approved injectable neuromodulator contains botulinum toxin type A, the same active ingredient in Botox®, Daxxify®, and Dysport®. Xeomin® is best known for effectively smoothing away vertical wrinkles between the brows and horizontal forehead lines, but it can also be used to target lip lines, crow’s feet, and bunny lines.
In addition to releasing facial wrinkles, Sherisse can administer Xeomin® injections to resolve a range of other aesthetic concerns. She frequently provides Xeomin® treatments for:
-
Frown lines – Xeomin® is a go-to treatment for frown lines, or “11” lines. Medically known as glabellar lines, these vertical wrinkles form between the brows, contributing to an aged appearance and making us look upset even when we aren’t.
-
Forehead wrinkles – Horizontal creases across the forehead can be eased with strategic Xeomin® injections.
-
Crow’s feet – These dynamic lines branch out from the outer corner of the eye and form when we smile and laugh.
-
Bunny lines – Xeomin® can be injected to smooth away fine lines that develop on the upper bridge of the nose.
-
Lip lines – Perioral lines, or lip lines, are fine vertical lines that develop around the mouth.
-
Drooping brow – Sherisse offers a non-surgical Xeomin® brow lift to rejuvenate the forehead and brow areas.
-
Downturned smile – Xeomin® can be injected to lift the corners of the mouth, correcting a downturned smile.
-
Chin dimpling – Small dents in the chin area caused by muscle contractions can be minimized with Xeomin®.
-
Jawline narrowing – Overactive masseter muscles can be relaxed with Xeomin® to create a slimmer, more feminine jawline contour.
-
TMJ symptoms – Masseter Xeomin® can also help to alleviate discomfort associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues.
-
Gummy smile – Xeomin® injections can reduce gum visibility when smiling to address concerns about a “gummy” smile.
-
Nose slimming – Sherisse can use advanced techniques to create a slimmer nose shape with Xeomin®.
Additional Xeomin® Info
What to Expect During a Xeomin® Treatment
After identifying the optimal injection sites for your treatment, Sherisse will use a fine gauge needle to administer the injections. A topical anesthetic can be applied before your injections to minimize discomfort, though many patients do not find this necessary.
What to Expect After a Xeomin® Treatment
Xeomin® is a no-downtime treatment, so most patients can get back to work and their daily activities right away. Take care not to rub the treatment area for the first three to four hours after your injections. You will also want to avoid engaging in strenuous exercise for 24 hours, as doing so sooner can cause the injected product to migrate.
Post-treatment tenderness, redness, or swelling can occur at the injection sites. These symptoms are usually mild and subside on their own in a short time.

FAQ’s
Am I a Candidate for Xeomin®?
If you desire a more refreshed and youthful facial appearance, Xeomin® may be the ideal choice for you. During your initial consultation with Sherisse, your candidacy will be determined based on your individual goals, expectations, and needs.
Xeomin®’s formulation does not include complexing proteins, potentially making it a more suitable option for patients who have developed resistance to Botox® or Dysport® and for those who prefer products with minimal unnecessary ingredients.
