Xeomin®

The main difference is formulation: • Xeomin®: Pure toxin, NO complexing proteins, reduced antibody risk • Botox®: Toxin + accessory proteins, gold standard with most research • Dysport®: Toxin + accessory proteins, faster onset, broader diffusion. All three are FDA-approved and effective. Xeomin®'s unique advantage is its pure formulation, making it ideal for: • Clients concerned about antibody resistance • First-time users wanting pure, protein-free treatment • Those who developed resistance to other neurotoxins • Long-term neurotoxin users

Antibody resistance occurs when your immune system creates antibodies against neurotoxin proteins, reducing or eliminating treatment effectiveness over time. Why Xeomin® reduces this risk: • Contains NO foreign proteins that trigger antibody formation • Only the active botulinum toxin (which your body doesn't build resistance to as easily) • Ideal for clients who've had diminishing results from Botox® or Dysport® • Better for long-term, repeated treatments. Signs of antibody resistance: • Treatments lasting shorter periods over time • Needing more units for same results • Complete loss of effectiveness. If you suspect resistance, Xeomin® may provide renewed results.

Xeomin® typically lasts 3-4 months, similar to Botox® and Dysport®. Duration depends on: • Treatment area • Units used • Your metabolism and muscle strength • Frequency of treatments. Xeomin®'s pure formulation may provide more consistent duration across multiple treatments due to reduced antibody resistance risk.

Xeomin® results timeline: • Initial effects: 3-5 days (subtle softening begins) • Visible results: 5-7 days (wrinkles noticeably smoother) • Full effects: 2 weeks (complete smoothing and refinement). Timeline is similar to Botox® (slightly slower than Dysport®'s 2-3 day onset).

Most clients experience minimal discomfort. We use: • Ultra-fine needles for gentle, precise injections • Optional topical numbing cream (applied 15-20 minutes before treatment) • Ice packs to numb the area (if requested). Most describe the sensation as a small pinch or brief pressure. Treatment takes only 10-15 minutes.

Not at 7Q Spa. Our expert injectors use: • Conservative dosing for natural facial movement • Precision placement based on your unique anatomy • Strategic techniques to maintain expressions. You'll look refreshed and relaxed – not frozen or overdone. Xeomin®'s predictable diffusion pattern ensures consistent, natural-looking results.

Yes! Many clients switch to Xeomin® for various reasons: • Seeking pure, protein-free formulation • Diminishing results from Botox® or Dysport® (possible antibody resistance) • Preference for "clean" treatment option • Medical professional or informed patient valuing purity. Unit conversion: • Xeomin® = Botox® (1:1 ratio) – same units needed • Dysport® to Xeomin®: Approximately 2.5-3x fewer units needed. Your injector will create a personalized treatment plan when switching products.

Units needed depend on: • Treatment areas (forehead, frown lines, crow's feet) • Depth of wrinkles and muscle strength • Your aesthetic goals. Average treatment ranges (same as Botox®): • Glabellar lines (frown lines/11s): 20-30 units • Forehead lines: 10-30 units • Crow's feet (both eyes): 12-24 units • Full upper face: 40-60 units. Your injector will provide a personalized recommendation during your consultation.

No downtime. Most clients return to normal activities immediately. You may experience: • Minor redness at injection sites (resolves within 1-2 hours) • Small bumps (resolve within hours) • Possible bruising (rare, can be covered with makeup). We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, saunas, and lying down for 4 hours post-treatment for optimal results.

Yes. Xeomin® is FDA-approved with 10+ years of proven safety in the United States and 20+ years internationally.

At 7Q Spa: • Our injectors are specially trained in Xeomin®'s pure formulation • We use only FDA-approved, authentic Xeomin® • We follow strict safety and sterility protocols • Every treatment is customized to your facial anatomy. Additional safety advantage: Xeomin®'s protein-free formulation may reduce risk of allergic reactions compared to neurotoxins with accessory proteins.

Absolutely! Xeomin® pairs beautifully with: • Dermal fillers (for comprehensive facial rejuvenation – smooth wrinkles + restore volume) • Laser treatments (for skin texture, tone, and pigmentation) • Chemical peels (for resurfacing and brightness) • Microneedling (for collagen stimulation and skin quality) • PDO Thread Lifts (for lifting and tightening). Many clients use Xeomin® for dynamic wrinkles and dermal fillers for volume loss and facial contouring.

To minimize bruising and optimize results, avoid for 48 hours before: • Blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen, Advil, Aleve) • Supplements (fish oil, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, garlic, St. John's Wort) • Alcohol consumption (24 hours prior) • Strenuous exercise (24 hours prior). Arrive with clean skin – no makeup or heavy skincare products.
