What Is Xeomin?

Xeomin is a neuromodulator made from botulinum toxin type A. It works by temporarily relaxing muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles—those formed by facial movement. Unlike other botulinum products, Xeomin contains no accessory proteins, making it a purified formulation often referred to as “naked BOTOX.” This injectable addresses the following concerns:

Forehead creases
Glabellar lines (between the brows)
Crow’s feet
Bunny lines on the nose
Chin dimpling
Neck banding
