Xeomin injections at A Clinic

Xeomin is the most modern botulinum therapy drug.

Botulinum therapy is well known for drugs such as Botox and Dysport. Xeomin (developed and produced by Merz, Germany) differs from them in a higher degree of purification. In fact, this is the purest botulinum toxin A. And this provides a number of advantages, which is why many movie and show business stars today choose Xeomin.

How does the drug work?

Xeomin is administered by injection into the facial muscles. It blocks the nerve signals that travel to the muscles and cause them to contract. As a result, facial muscles stop contracting and provoke the formation of wrinkles.

Does this make the face less mobile? It turns out not! When using Xeomin, only those muscles that cause the formation of facial wrinkles relax. The underlying muscles are not affected. It is these muscles that provide lively facial expressions, and when using Xeomin they do not suffer at all.

Thanks to this, the face retains its natural expression, facial expressions, mobility, and the ability to express emotions. This is what explains the choice in favor of Xeomin for those who would like to look younger, get rid of facial wrinkles, tighten their face and at the same time maintain full mobility.

Get rid of facial wrinkles while maintaining natural facial expressions? It's possible. Xeomin is what you need!

Xeomin is not an anti-aging agent. It does not activate collagen production and does not create a supporting frame. This is done by other procedures at the A-Clinic. He just gives his face a rest.

The drug relaxes facial muscles around the eyes, in the corners of the mouth, the lower third of the face, and on the forehead. Thanks to this, the formation of facial wrinkles stops. Moreover, existing wrinkles are smoothed out. The face is being restored.

Outwardly, this process looks like rejuvenation. But essentially it's just a rest for the face. The wrinkle smoothing effect is achieved by perfect muscle relaxation.

XEOMIN - NEW GENERATION BEAUTY INJECTIONS

The first age-related changes become noticeable due to the appearance of facial wrinkles.
Gradually, fine wrinkles worsen, becoming deeper. For a long time, BOTOX remained the main means of combating them. However, today Xeomin has appeared - injections that are not inferior to Botox in their effectiveness. Xeomin is a high-quality drug produced by the German company. It has a small molecular weight (150 kDa), which allows it to be used for injection even into small muscles: you can inject Xeomin into the area around the eyes (for bags and puffiness under the eyes), into the nasolabial folds, into the forehead, and into the neck.

Xeomin is also injected into the nose (to reduce the size of the nose - slightly narrowing the wings or removing wrinkles on the back of the nose), and into the chin (more often for complex correction of the lower third of the face). At the same time, natural facial expressions are preserved.

The main difference between the drug Xeomin and the drugs Botox and Dysport is its composition. In the production of Botox and Dispor, proteins are used that act as a preservative. However, sometimes they can cause adverse reactions of the body's immune system, which is expressed in the form of edema and hyperemia. Xeomin does not contain proteins. It contains neurotoxin without preservatives or impurities. This significantly reduces the risk of allergies.

Indications for use

Xeomin effectively eliminates the entire complex of facial wrinkles, including:

vertical and horizontal wrinkles on the forehead,
crow's feet and other fine wrinkles around the eyes,
superficial wrinkles in the eyebrow area and between the eyebrows (on the bridge of the nose),
small wrinkles around the lips, in the corners of the mouth and along the edges of the nose,
superficial neck wrinkles,
fine wrinkles in the décolleté area, including vertical bunches of wrinkles.

An additional indication is increased sweating (sweating).

Injection effect

After the injections, you will stop frowning, wrinkling your forehead, and creating wrinkles on the bridge of your nose and around your mouth. Otherwise, your facial expressions will retain their usual liveliness, and your facial features will not change at all.

The oval of the face after injections of the drug becomes clearer, the cheekbones become higher.
The skin is tightened.
Small, superficial wrinkles are smoothed out.
The corners of the mouth rise.
The expression of fatigue, grief, sadness, sadness and dissatisfaction disappears.
The eyebrows rise, the eyes become more expressive, and the gaze becomes more open.

Features of the drug

Botulinum therapy is a recognized remedy for facial wrinkles. The safety of botulinum therapy has been fully proven, and its effect is achieved almost instantly and lasts for several months.

Xeomin has serious advantages compared to other botulinum toxin A preparations:

The highest degree of botulinum toxin purification eliminates the presence of protein compounds. Other drugs contain some protein. This is what explains the reaction from the immune system in the form of redness and swelling at the injection sites. These phenomena occur relatively rarely, and the use of Xeomin eliminates them completely.
The high concentration of botuloxin in Xeomin allows the use of lower dosages.
Xeomin makes it possible to act selectively on muscles. Thanks to this, only those facial muscles that create wrinkles are blocked. Those muscles that determine the individual features of your face, its expressiveness and liveliness will not change at all.
The high purity of Xeomin guarantees its exceptional hypoallergenicity.

Adverse reactions are classified by frequency of occurrence: very common (> 1/10), common (> 1/100 to < 1/10), uncommon (> 1/1,000 to < 1/100), rare (> 1/10,000 to < 1/1,000), very rare (<1/10,000).

Blepharospasm:

Common: ptosis (6.1%), dry eyes (2.0%).

Uncommon: paresthesia, conjunctivitis, dry mouth, skin rash, headache, muscle weakness.

In addition, when using a similar drug containing botulinum toxin type A, and used in clinical trials along with Xeomin, the following side effects were observed. They are also possible when using Xeomin.

Common: superficial keratitis, lagophthalmos, skin irritation, photophobia, lacrimation.

Uncommon: keratitis, ectropia, diplopia, dizziness, diffuse skin rash/dermatitis, entropion, focal facial paralysis, facial weakness, fatigue, visual disturbances, blurred vision.

Rare: local swelling of the skin of the eyelid.

Very rare: acute angle-closure glaucoma, corneal ulceration.

Spasmodic torticollis:

Common: dysphagia (10%), muscle weakness (1.7%), back pain (1.3%).

Uncommon: inflammation or pressure at the injection site, headache, asthenia, generalized increased sweating, tremor, hoarseness, colitis, vomiting, diarrhea, dry mouth, bone pain, myalgia, skin rashes, itching, peeling of the skin, pain in eyes.

Very common: pain at the injection site.

Common: dizziness, high blood pressure, numbness at the injection site, general weakness, flu-like symptoms, general malaise, dry mouth, nausea, headache, muscle stiffness at the injection site, irritation at the injection site, rhinitis, upper respiratory tract infections.

Uncommon: shortness of breath, diplopia, fever, ptosis, speech disorders.

The severity of dysphagia varies from mild to severe, with the possibility of aspiration; In rare cases, this requires medical attention. Dysphagia may persist for two to three weeks after injection, but a case lasting 3 months has been reported. Dysphagia develops in a dose-dependent manner; According to clinical studies, dysphagia is rare if the total dose of the drug does not exceed 200 units per procedure.

Arm spasticity after stroke:

Common: headache, sensory disturbance, feeling of heat.

Common: hypertonicity, ecchymosis, local pain, muscle weakness, irritation or hemorrhage at the injection site.

Uncommon: depression, sleep disturbances, paresthesia, incoordination, amnesia, vertigo, orthostatic hypotension, nausea, dermatitis, itching, rash, arthralgia, bursitis, asthenia, pain, hypersensitivity at the injection site, anxiety, peripheral edema.

Some side effects may be related to the underlying disease.

Hyperkinetic folds (expression wrinkles) of the face:

Usually, undesirable effects are observed in the first week after using the drug and are temporary. Undesirable effects may be related to the active substance and/or the administration procedure. The expected pharmacological effect of botulinum toxin is localized muscle weakness. Ptosis of the eyelids can be caused by the injection technique and is associated with the pharmacological action of the drug.

As with any injection, local pain, tenderness, itching, swelling and/or hematoma may occur; It is also possible to develop transient vasovagal reactions, such as fainting, circulatory disorders, nausea or tinnitus associated with anxiety before the injection.

The following adverse reactions have been reported with the use of the drug:

Common: skin itching, headache, muscle dysfunction at the injection site, feeling of heaviness.

Uncommon: flu-like symptoms, feeling of tension at the injection site, bronchitis, nasopharyngitis, feeling of "nodules in the skin", swelling of the eyelids, ptosis, blurred vision, raised eyebrows, nausea, muscle twitching and spasms, local weakness of the facial muscles.

In addition, the comparator drug, which contains a conventional botulinum toxin type A complex and has been used in several clinical studies (data collected to date suggests that both drugs are equally active), is known to produce the following adverse effects, which are likely to occur with Xeomina.

Uncommon: infection, paresthesia, dizziness, blepharitis, eye pain, dry mouth, photosensitivity, dry skin.

Common side effects:

The information presented below is based on data on the effects of other products containing botulinum toxin type A.

Information about severe negative effects that may be associated with damage to the cardiovascular system - such as arrhythmia and myocardial infarction, including death - is extremely rare. Whether these deaths were caused by botulinum toxin type A injections or concomitant cardiovascular diseases is not certain. One case of anaphylactic shock has been reported after administration of a drug containing botulinum toxin type A.

Side effects such as exudative erythema multiforme, urticaria, psoriasis-like rashes, itching and allergic reactions are noted, but their dependence on the action of a complex drug containing botulinum toxin type A has not been confirmed.

Sometimes after injection of botulinum toxin type A, changes in the electrophysiological background were noted in some distant muscles; this side effect is not associated with muscle weakness or other electrophysiological abnormalities.

How is the procedure performed?

Before injections, a numbing cream is applied to the skin.
The locations and number of injections are determined individually, depending on the area and nature of facial wrinkles.
The stopper of the bottle is pierced with a needle, through which sodium chloride is added to the drug.
The contents of the bottle mix and form a clear liquid. The resulting drug is used immediately and cannot be stored.
Each injection is completed within a few seconds and contains up to 5 units of Xeomin.
The total duration of a botulinum therapy session is from 10 minutes to half an hour.

There is no redness, swelling or swelling from the injections, so after the procedure you can immediately return to your normal activities. Due to the speed of the session, botulinum therapy with Xeomin is called the “lunch break procedure.”

A noticeable effect of the injections will occur within 2-3 days. The maximum effect will occur in 10-14 days and will last for 4 months or more.

What should not be done after drug injections

Despite the absence of redness, swelling and other immune or allergic reactions to the drug Xeomin, it is recommended to observe a number of restrictions for some time after injections.

Within a few days after the procedure:

Do not massage or scratch your face,
refrain from visiting the sauna, bathhouse, swimming pool, solarium,
avoid intense physical activity and direct sunlight,
do not use drugs that affect blood clotting, such as aspirin, paracetamol, etc.,
do not use antibiotics,
abstain from alcohol.
