XEOMIN®
AT COMPLEXION MED SPA
WHAT IS XEOMIN®?
Xeomin® (incobotulinumtoxinA) is a prescription medication injected into muscles and used to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults. Xeomin® contains botulinum toxin type A, a protein purified from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.
XEOMIN® can effectively treat dynamic wrinkles, including frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet.
XEOMIN® can effectively treat dynamic wrinkles, including frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet.
/ HOW DOES XEOMIN® WORK?
When you squint or frown, the muscles between your eyebrows contract, causing the skin to furrow and fold. Over time, as your skin ages and loses some of its elasticity, these repeated contractions can cause persistent frown lines. Botulinum toxin type A (the active ingredient in Xeomin®) acts on nerve endings in muscles to prevent muscle fibers from contracting. By reducing these contractions, Xeomin® can temporarily reduce the lines between your eyebrows.

WHAT SHOULD I TELL MY INJECTOR AT COMPLEXION MED SPA BEFORE MY TREATMENT?
Before receiving treatment with XEOMIN®, you should tell your doctor/injector about all of your medical conditions, including whether you have a disease that affects your muscles and nerves, have allergies to any botulinum toxin product, or have experienced any side effect from any other botulinum toxin in the past. In addition, tell your doctor about your medical history and all the medicines you take, including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
Especially tell your doctor/injector if you have received any other botulinum toxin product in the last 4 months or in the past. Be sure your doctor/injector knows exactly which product(s) you received and when you received them.
WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON SIDE EFFECTS OF XEOMIN®?
XEOMIN® may cause serious side effects, including allergic reactions. Symptoms of an allergic reaction to XEOMIN® may include: itching, rash, redness, swelling, wheezing, asthma symptoms, or dizziness or feeling faint. Tell your doctor or seek medical help right away if you have wheezing, experience other asthma symptoms, or if you become dizzy or faint.
In clinical trials of XEOMIN® for the treatment of frown lines between the eyebrows, headache was the most common side effect. XEOMIN® may cause loss of strength or general muscle weakness, blurred vision, or drooping eyelids within hours to weeks of taking XEOMIN®. If this happens, do not drive a car, operate machinery, or do other dangerous activities. Tell your doctor if you have any side effect that bothers you or that does not subside. These are not all of the possible side effects of XEOMIN®.
AM I A CANDIDATE FOR XEOMIN®?
Both men and women, frustrated with creases along the forehead, the eyebrows, or the corners of the eyes, may find XEOMIN® to be extremely beneficial. The ideal candidate for treatment should be in overall good health, understand the treatment process, and hold realistic expectations for their correction. Those who have a known allergy to BOTOX® (Botulinum Toxin), or with an infection or muscle weakness at the injection site, should not use XEOMIN®.
IS XEOMIN® FDA APPROVED?
XEOMIN® is FDA approved in the U.S. since 2011 and does not contain any additives, lowering the chance for a negative reaction.
