The Short Answer

What is Xeomin®?

Xeomin® is a prescription botulinum toxin type A treatment used to temporarily reduce muscle activity that contributes to expression lines. Identity Aesthetics selects dose and placement according to your anatomy, movement and desired degree of softness—not a one-size-fits-all pattern. Its FDA labeling includes moderate-to-severe glabellar lines in adults.

Candidacy

Who may—or may not—be a candidate

Who may be considered

Adults seeking temporary improvement in expression lines may be considered after an in-person facial assessment. A good candidate understands that results are temporary, asymmetry is possible, and the safest dose depends on muscle strength, anatomy, prior response and treatment goals.

When treatment may not be appropriate

Treatment may be deferred for pregnancy or breastfeeding, active infection at an injection site, known allergy to an ingredient, certain neuromuscular disorders, or symptoms that require medical evaluation. Tell the provider about all medications, supplements, prior toxin products and any swallowing or breathing problems.

Your Visit

What happens during treatment

01

Evaluate

Your provider reviews health history, prior toxin use, facial movement and goals.

02

Plan & treat

Expression patterns are mapped and the skin is cleansed. Small measured injections are placed with a fine needle.

03

Review & follow up

You receive individualized aftercare and a timing window for follow-up. Do not judge symmetry before the product has had time to settle.

Informed Choice

Important risks, limitations and alternatives

Risks & limitations

Expected effects can include temporary redness, tenderness, bruising, swelling or asymmetry. Rare but serious botulinum-toxin risks include swallowing, speaking or breathing difficulty and spread of toxin effect. Product units are not interchangeable. Treatment cannot be guaranteed and must follow an individualized examination.

Alternatives to discuss

  • No treatment or skincare for surface-quality goals
  • Another FDA-approved botulinum toxin, recognizing units cannot be converted directly
  • Dermal filler or biostimulator when volume—not muscle movement—is the primary concern
  • Laser or resurfacing treatments for pigment, texture and fine etched lines

Clinical Judgment

Why provider experience matters

Small differences in depth, angle, dose and muscle selection change the outcome. An experienced medical injector can distinguish dynamic lines from volume loss, protect brow and eyelid function, plan around asymmetry and recognize complications early.

Access & Cost

In-office versus telehealth

Treatment is in-office only. Telehealth can answer general questions, but facial examination, consent and injections occur at an Identity Aesthetics location.

Pricing: From $12 per unit. Final cost depends on the number of units selected after assessment. Always ask about current promotions and volume savings.
