A consultation with JUVÈ Aesthetics and Wellness will determine if Xoemin is right for you.

How is Xeomin used as a cosmetic treatment?

Xeomin injections into key facial muscles keep them from contracting. Wrinkles are often the result of repetitive muscle movement. Every time you smile or frown, creases form on the skin. 

Those creases become wrinkles as you age because the skin loses its elasticity. A Botox injection prevents the repetitive contractions, so there is less of a crease and the wrinkles are not as deep.

Do Botox injections hurt?

Your physician uses very thin needles to minimize pain. The number of injections you will need depends on different factors, such as the purpose of the treatment.

After completing the injections, a member of the staff will go over the post-treatment care plan with you. Most patients return to their regular activities right away. It is important not to rub the injection sites, because it may force the toxin to shift to another area.
