FACIAL TREATMENTS

At Touch and Glow Med Spa we offer Xeomin treatment designed to help restore, enhance and refresh your skin, for an elegant you.

Xeomin is a newer purer formulation of Botox favored by celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow who use it to soften and treat fine lines and wrinkles. As it is a purified neurotoxin it is safe to use for everyone, including those that suffer from food allergies or sensibilities. Premature aging and wrinkling of the skin may be accelerated by excessive exposure to the sun and other elements, overactive facial expression muscles, the frequent use of tobacco products, poor nutrition, or skin disorders.

Xeomin is an FDA-approved and clinically proven treatment for smoothing expression lines. It’s made through a unique precision manufacturing process that isolates the therapeutic component of the molecule and removes the complexing proteins that don’t play an active role in treatment.

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. 

HOW DO I KNOW IF XEOMIN IS RIGHT FOR ME?

If you are an adult with moderate to severe glabellar lines, Xeomin® may be right for you. Talk to your doctor to discuss the benefits and risks of treatment. Do not use Xeomin® if you are allergic to botulinum toxin or any of the other ingredients in Xeomin®. You should also not use Xeomin® if you have had an allergic reaction to any other botulinum toxin product or have a skin infection at the planned injection site. 

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING THE PROCEDURE?

During treatment, which usually takes about 10-20 minutes, your doctor will inject Xeomin® into the muscles in your forehead that cause frown lines between your eyebrows. No anesthesia is required; however, your physician may use a topical anesthetic or cold pack to reduce any discomfort. 

WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO SEE RESULTS?

You may begin to see visible smoothing as early as 3-4 days after injection. The median first onset of effect was less than a week. The maximum effect occurred at 30 days. The typical duration of effect was up to 3 months in clinical trials but may last significantly longer or shorter in individual patients. 

WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS?

XEOMIN® can cause some side effects listed below:

Headache was the most common side effect of XEOMIN® for treatment of glabellar lines. Other possible side effects include:

• dry mouth
• discomfort or pain at the injection site
• tiredness
• neck pain
• muscle weakness
• eye problems, including: double vision, blurred vision, drooping eyelids, swelling of your eyelids, and dry eyes. Reduced blinking can also occur. Tell your doctor or get medical help right away if you have eye pain or irritation following treatment.

XEOMIN® may cause other 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 get medical help right away if you get wheezing or asthma symptoms, or if you get dizzy or faint.
