Achieve a Naturally Refreshed Look with a Modern Neurotoxin
We all want to look in the mirror and see a vibrant, refreshed version of ourselves. But years of smiling, laughing, and showing expression can lead to frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles that make us look more tired or stressed than we feel. If you’re looking for a highly effective way to smooth these dynamic lines without sacrificing natural expression, it’s time to learn about Xeomin—a premier wrinkle treatment available right here in the Boise and Eagle area.
At Sweet Spot Spa, our mission is to provide safe, comfortable, and results-driven treatments that help you feel confident and rejuvenated. Xeomin is one of the leading modern injectables we trust to deliver beautiful, consistent results for our clients.
What Exactly is Xeomin?
Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved neurotoxin specifically designed to treat dynamic wrinkles—the lines caused by repeated muscle movements. Like its counterparts, Botox and Dysport, Xeomin works by temporarily relaxing the targeted facial muscles. By blocking the nerve signals that cause these muscles to contract, the overlying skin smooths out, significantly reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
What sets Xeomin apart is its uniquely purified formulation. It is often referred to as the “naked injectable” because it contains only the active therapeutic ingredient (botulinum toxin type A) and is free from the complexing or accessory proteins found in other neurotoxins. This purity may lower the risk of developing antibodies to the treatment over time, making it an excellent choice for consistent, long-term rejuvenation.
How Xeomin Compares to Other Neurotoxins
While all neurotoxins share the same goal of relaxing wrinkles, subtle differences in their formulation can influence which treatment is best for you. Our expert injectors at Sweet Spot Spa can help you make the right choice during a personalized consultation. Here’s a quick comparison:
| Feature | Xeomin | Botox | Dysport |
|---|---|---|---|
| Formulation | Highly purified, no accessory proteins. | Contains protective proteins. | Contains smaller proteins, may diffuse more. |
| Onset of Results | Typically 3-7 days, with full results in up to 30 days. | Usually 5-7 days, full results in about 14 days. | Often a quicker onset, around 2-3 days. |
| Best For | Patients seeking a pure formula or those who may have developed a tolerance to other brands. | Precise, targeted treatments like crow’s feet and frown lines. | Larger areas like the forehead due to its diffusion properties. |
Who is an Ideal Candidate for Xeomin?
Xeomin is an excellent and versatile treatment for adults in the Eagle and Boise areas who are bothered by moderate to severe dynamic lines. You may be a great candidate if you want to:
- Soften the vertical “11” lines between your eyebrows (glabellar lines).
- Smooth horizontal forehead lines.
- Reduce the appearance of crow’s feet around your eyes.
- Achieve a more relaxed and approachable appearance without looking “frozen.”
- Try an alternative if you feel your current neurotoxin treatment is becoming less effective.
A consultation with our compassionate healthcare professionals at Sweet Spot Spa will help determine if Xeomin is the perfect fit for your aesthetic goals.
Did You Know?
Xeomin was first FDA-approved in the U.S. in 2011 for treating glabellar lines. Recently, its approval was expanded to include the simultaneous treatment of the full upper face—frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet—making it the first neurotoxin to receive this comprehensive indication.
Your Xeomin Treatment: What to Expect
Your journey to smoother skin at Sweet Spot Spa is simple and comfortable. The treatment itself is very quick, often taking less than 15 minutes.
- Consultation: We’ll discuss your goals and analyze your facial anatomy to create a customized treatment plan.
- The Injections: Using a very fine needle, one of our skilled injectors will administer a series of small injections into the targeted muscles. Discomfort is minimal.
- Aftercare: There is no downtime required. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and rubbing the treated area for the first 24 hours to ensure the product settles properly. It’s also best to remain upright for a few hours post-treatment.
