Enhance Your Natural Beauty with Xeomin® at Zeam Health & Wellness
At Zeam Health & Wellness, we believe in treatments that enhance your unique beauty while prioritizing safety and effectiveness. Xeomin® is an innovative, FDA-approved injectable solution designed to reduce the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows and treat specific medical conditions. Known for its purity, Xeomin® stands apart in the world of aesthetic treatments by delivering results without unnecessary additives.
What Is Xeomin®?
Xeomin® is a refined botulinum toxin type A treatment. It functions by blocking the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract.
This effect creates a temporary relaxation in the targeted muscle, smoothing out lines and wrinkles on the face or alleviating muscle stiffness in specific medical applications.
Xeomin® has FDA approval for treating cervical dystonia (severe neck muscle spasms) and blepharospasm (uncontrolled eyelid twitching), in addition to addressing frown lines between the eyebrows.
How Does Xeomin® Compare to Botox?
While Botox and Xeomin® are both botulinum toxin type A products, they differ in composition. Xeomin® is uniquely formulated without accessory proteins, containing only the pure toxin itself. This lack of additives has two key advantages:
- Reduced risk of antibody resistance: Without proteins to trigger the immune system, Xeomin® may lower the chances of developing resistance, which could make future treatments less effective.
- Simplified storage: Xeomin® does not need refrigeration before use, which is convenient for handling and storage.
The effects of Xeomin® usually start within a week and can last anywhere from three to six months, much like Botox. For clients who have tried Botox and are looking for a comparable alternative, Xeomin® offers an effective solution.

What to Expect During and After Xeomin® Treatment
At Zeam Health & Wellness, we aim to make every Xeomin® treatment straightforward and comfortable. Here is a breakdown of what you can expect:
Consultation
Our licensed professionals will discuss your goals, examine the treatment areas, and answer any questions you might have. They will also check for any contraindications to ensure Xeomin® is right for you.
Preparation
Before administering Xeomin®, the treatment area is cleansed. An anesthetic may be applied if needed, especially for individuals sensitive to injections.
Injection
The Xeomin® solution is injected directly into the targeted muscle using a fine needle. Each session typically lasts 10–20 minutes, depending on the areas treated.
Aftercare
You may notice slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. These effects are temporary and usually resolve within a few days. We recommend avoiding strenuous activities and lying down for a few hours after the treatment to help ensure optimal results.
Results
Initial effects can appear within a few days, with the full impact visible around one week post-treatment. Results generally last three to six months. Many clients return for follow-up treatments to maintain their results.
Safety Information and Potential Side Effects
Xeomin® is considered safe for most individuals. However, like any medical procedure, it carries some risks. Our medical team will discuss these risks with you and answer any questions before proceeding with treatment.
Common side effects include:
- Redness or swelling at the injection site
- Mild discomfort or bruising
- Temporary muscle weakness
In rare cases, more serious side effects can occur. These may include:
- Difficulty swallowing, speaking, or breathing
- Muscle weakness in areas beyond the injection site
- Drooping eyelids or eyebrows
Who Should Avoid Xeomin®?
While Xeomin® is safe for most, some individuals should avoid it.
- Known allergies to botulinum toxin
- Muscle weakness at the planned injection site
- Active infections or swelling in the treatment area
- A history of severe allergic reactions to Xeomin® or similar treatments
We also advise caution for those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing specific health conditions. It is essential to disclose any medical history or previous reactions to botulinum toxin during your consultation.
Preparing for Your Xeomin® Appointment
To ensure the best results and minimize the chance of side effects, there are a few steps you can take before your Xeomin® appointment:
Avoid Alcohol and Blood Thinners
For at least 24 hours before your session, it’s best to avoid alcohol and any medications that thin the blood, such as aspirin.
Stay Hydrated
Drinking water before your appointment can help minimize bruising and swelling.
Reschedule if Unwell
If you have a cold, sinus infection, or any other illness, it may be best to delay treatment until you are fully recovered.
