Xeonine treatments at Ethos Spa offers an additive-free option to Botox for frown lines and deep wrinkles
Xeonine is a “naked” (additive-free) form of the botulinum toxin type A.
Summit, New Jersey (PRWEB) May 28, 2014
Ethos Spa Skin and Laser Centers has announced the addition of Xeomin® to its growing line of anti-aging injectable products used that target deep lines and wrinkles. Xeomin is an additives-free Botox alternative for reducing or eliminating glabellar lines—those deep vertical frown lines on the face that resemble the number 11 between the eyebrows. Xeomin is often used along with Botox to treat wrinkles, severe frown lines and crow’s feet.
Manufactured by Merz Aesthetics, Xeomin works by softening lines and wrinkles, and by blocking signals between facial nerves and muscles to prevent muscle contractions. Xeomin’s effects become visible within one week, and the results last from three to six months, making it comparable to Botox in terms of both onset and duration of results.
Xeomin gained U.S. approval after two pivotal clinical trials involving 16 investigational sites and 547 healthy adult patients whose glabellar lines were significantly reduced within 30 days of their first Xeomin injection. Because it is a “naked” (additive-free) form of the botulinum toxin type A, Xeomin is the only botulinum toxin currently approved in the U.S. that does not require refrigeration prior to reconstitution.
Anti-aging products like Botox, Dysport and Xeomin have plenty in common, but they also have some important differences. Although all three contain the botulinum toxin, Xeomin is the only pure form of botulinum toxin type A, which may lessen the patient's likelihood of developing antibodies and triggering an allergic reaction.
Originally prescribed to treat Cervical Dystonia (a painful condition in which neck muscles contract involuntarily) and Blepharospasm (an abnormal contractions or twitch of the eyelid,) Xeomin has being used in Europe for cosmetic procedures to reduce fine lines and wrinkles for years.
Many patients and practitioners prefer neurotoxins for anti-aging cosmetic treatments instead of microdermabrasion and chemical peels because the botulinum toxin works more directly and releases wrinkles for months at a time. Plus, injectable neurotoxin treatments do not require the same downtime or cost commitments as traditional facial surgeries such as face or brow lifts. Injectable products such as Xeomin, Botox and Dysport require only a brief office visit, and most patients return to work that same day.
Both Botox and Xeomin take about 7 days for the full effects to be visible, and results last an average three to six months before another treatment is required.
