First there was Botox, then there was Dysport and now there is Xeomin (incobotulinum toxin A). The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved this new botulinum toxin type A product to treat severe frown lines or “11′s” between the eyebrows. Xeomin is manufactured by Merz Pharmaceuticals, and has been used by more than 84,000 people worldwide. It is now approved for use in 20 countries. Like other drugs in this category, Xeomin works by weakening the muscles that cause wrinkles. It blocks the signals from the nerves to the muscles. As a result, the targeted muscle cannot contract as strongly and wrinkles are reduced or eliminated.

Some patients have developed antibodies to additives in Botox and Dysport, leading their bodies to reject the treatments.  But Xeomin contains just one ingredient: botulinum toxin A. Unlike its competitors, Xeomin is a “naked injectable,” meaning that it does not contain any additives. The major benefit of a pure-form injectable is that the human body is less likely to become resistant to Xeomin because there are simply less ingredients in the solution.

Aside from its pure form, Xeomin is quite comparable to Botox. It is measured in the same units as Botox, so it is easy for doctors and patients to convert to Xeomin. Some experts claim that Xeomin has the ability to last slightly longer than Botox—up to six months. With treatment prices ranging between $400 and $600, Xeomin costs about the same as Botox. Since all of these injectables have the same active ingredient, side effects are also similar: minor swelling, bruising, headache, and soreness is considered normal immediately after treatment and should fade within a few hours or days.

Xeomin has been used extensively across Europe to diminish wrinkles and give patients a younger, refreshed look. Its FDA approval in the United States will give those interested in cosmetic treatments an additional option when it comes to wrinkle removal and anti-aging procedures. Xeomin’s results can last as long as six months and some doctors and patients prefer it over Botox injections.

Xeomin is said to be more like Botox than Dysport. It takes about one week for the full effects of Xeomin injections to be realized, and once this occurs the results last from three to six months. Dysport, Xeomin and Botox should not be used interchangeably. They should also only be administered by skilled injectors such as board-certified facial plastic surgeons in sterile environments such as medi-spas or doctors’ offices. Xeomin should not be injected in beauty salons, malls or at Xeomin parties in the home.

________________

Botulinum injection (with Botox®) Is one of the world’s most popular cosmetic procedures, used to alleviate fine lines and wrinkles that are indicative of aging. Now, the FDA has approved Xeomin®—an injectable that has the same effect as Botox®. Xeomin® has been used extensively across Europe since 2008. It has the same safety profile as Botox®.

Xeomin® is comparable to Botox® because it has the same active ingredient – botulinum toxin A. The dosing and the administration are exactly the same as Botox®. But unlike Botox®, Xeomin® is a “naked injectable”, meaning that is does not contain any additives. The major benefit of a pure-form injectable is that the human body is less likely to become resistant or develop antibodies to Xeomin®.

Although it has a different name and different box, Xeomin® should not be considered a completely new medication. It is merely a different formulation of the same active ingredient we have been using for many years under the name Botox®.

I recommend you take advantage of this introductory offer of a 25% discount on Xeomin® treatments. The discounts are only available until February 29, 2012, so call our office today for your appointment.

For every referral you’ll receive 10% off your next Xeomin® treatment.
