As we age, wrinkles and fine lines become more prominent, affecting our appearance and confidence. Cedar Grove Aesthetics offers Xeomin®, a highly effective cosmetic treatment, to smooth unwanted lines and help you look younger. Xeomin® is designed to provide natural-looking results and enhance your facial features without a "frozen" appearance. With the expertise of our medical team and the personalized care we offer, you can trust Cedar Grove Aesthetics in Smyrna, TN, to help you achieve a rejuvenated and refreshed look.
What Is Xeomin®?
Xeomin is a prescription medication containing botulinum toxin type A. It works by blocking the release of chemicals that cause muscle contractions. By temporarily relaxing the muscles, Xeomin reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, especially those caused by repetitive facial expressions. Unlike other botulinum toxin treatments, Xeomin is a "naked" injectable, meaning it contains no additives. This lowers the risk that you’ll become resistant to the treatment over time.
Comparison With Botox and Dysport:
When considering treatments to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, it's important to understand the differences between BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport®, and Xeomin®:
- Botox: Contains protective proteins clustered around the active molecule, which some patients may become resistant to over time.
- Dysport: Similar to Botox but may diffuse more, affecting a broader area.
- Xeomin: Pure form of botulinum toxin, without unnecessary proteins, potentially minimizing resistance.
Each of these treatments is effective and may be preferred based on individual needs and responses.
Benefits of Xeomin
Xeomin offers several advantages that make it a preferred choice for many seeking wrinkle reduction:
- Natural-looking results: Xeomin provides subtle enhancements so you look refreshed without appearing "frozen."
- Reduced appearance of wrinkles and fine lines: It’s particularly effective for frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead lines.
- Long-lasting effects: Results can last three to six months, with some patients enjoying even longer benefits.
- Minimal downtime and quick recovery: Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.
