Frown lines and wrinkles can make us look older and more rigid than we feel. Reducing wrinkles and fine lines can be the first step towards feeling more youthful and rejuvenated. With Botox alternative Xeomin, you can effectively smooth frown lines, crow’s feet, marionette lines, and more. If Botox hasn’t worked well for you in the past, but you’d still like to reap the benefits of this powerful neuromodulator, Xeomin might be the option you’ve been waiting for.
At Saxon MD in both Dallas and Austin, TX, our goal is to provide natural-looking, stunning results no matter how intensive or minimal the procedure is. We understand that your face is the first thing people see, so being able to put your best face forward can be an incredible confidence boost. Dr. Saxon and our team of nurses and staff are committed to giving you a comfortable and warm experience and skillful and luminous results.
Xeomin is an injection used to treat fine lines and wrinkles in the face and neck. It works by temporarily immobilizing the very small muscles that cause wrinkles, so they smooth out and become less noticeable. A neuromodulator that contains incobotulinumtoxinA, Xeomin is double-filtered through a process called XTRACT technology. This process removes components and proteins not needed for the treatment to provide results, thus providing a more pure version of the injection serum. Botulinum toxin is most often used to treat wrinkles between the eyebrows but has multiple applications throughout the face and body.
Xeomin and Botox both contain the same active working component- the neurotoxin botulinum. The main difference between the two is that Xeomin contains fewer additives and extra proteins because of the double filtration process that it goes through. On a molecular level, Xeomin is a more refined, cleaner option for this type of treatment. Some people who have had poor reactions to Botox are able to see great results with Xeomin because they can avoid unnecessary complex proteins and other additives that may cause allergic reactions.
Treatment with Xeomin offers a long list of wrinkle and fine-line improvements. All of the possible rejuvenation options with Xeomin can provide confidence, a better quality of life, and specific practical benefits. Xeomin can address concerns in a variety of areas, including:
Prime candidates for Xeomin are patients who are starting to show aging signs but are not at the point of needing a corrective surgical procedure. If you are generally in good health and looking for targeted rejuvenation, you are a great candidate. Austin or Dallas Xeomin may be a great choice for you if:
At a consultation, your provider will explain in detail the procedure and expected results, and discuss any concerns about side effects or medical history. They will also recommend a comprehensive plan for treatment. Your provider will give you specific information on certain products, medications, and supplements that you may need to pause for a time to help with the healing process.
A treatment with Xeomin usually takes about 10-15 minutes. The formula will be injected into the muscle in the treatment area. A topical anesthetic or cool pack might be used to tame any discomfort, but most Austin or Dallas Xeomin patients report either no pain or the sensation of a needle prick.

Since this is a non-surgical, non-invasive option, there is no downtime after the procedure. You may have slight tenderness at the injection site. You will receive instructions on the best ways to ensure optimal results, including not lying down for several hours and other sleep habits. Typically patients see noticeable results within a week, with full effect around one month.
Since Xeomin is administered with a needle, you will feel a slight pinch, but it is a quick procedure, and any discomfort passes quickly.
The most common risk associated with botulinum toxin is an allergic reaction which can include rash, swelling, or redness and, in severe cases, difficulty breathing or dizziness.
Xeomin is a temporary treatment with results lasting approximately 3-6 months. Follow-up treatments would be needed to sustain results.
If you are pregnant, using any form of botulinum toxin is not recommended. There is no specific research on using Xeomin while breastfeeding. However, the amount of active ingredients is extremely small, so it is unlikely to be a concern.
You will be instructed not to lie down for 4-6 hours after your treatment, as this can disrupt the action of the formula. We recommended sleeping on your back for the first 48 hours after treatment to avoid any dose migration.
No, regular activity can be resumed immediately after treatment.
The cost of treatment will vary depending on how many treatment areas will be addressed and, thus, the number of injections needed. Your provider will discuss costs with you in detail at a consultation.
