Cosmetic Injections

Repeated muscle contractions are one of the causes of wrinkles in the face. Providers use botulinum toxin injections, such as Xeomin, to improve appearance. These cosmetic injections temporarily block the nerve signals to the muscles, which results in the injected muscles not contracting. This can result in smoothing the overlying skin and reducing wrinkles. These injections are FDA-approved to treat frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles. They offer predictable results, have few adverse effects, and have high overall patient satisfaction with the outcomes.

There are a few different brands of botulinum toxins used as cosmetic injections, the most well-known being Botox. At AZ Vitality and Wellness, we use Xeomin, the same toxin as Botox but without the same preservatives and additives, and it is a purified form of the poison. It is often called the “naked Botox,” providing the same desirable results without adding unnecessary proteins to other products. With repeated injections with Botox, the included proteins ultimately lead to desensitization and probable decreased effect of the product. With Xeomin, as those proteins are absent, desensitization does not occur, and the effectiveness is unaffected regardless of the length of use.

These injections can also treat other health problems, such as migraines and hyperhidrosis. Axillary hyperhidrosis is excessive underarm sweating that affects approximately 3% of the population. It often starts in childhood or adolescence, but adult onset is possible. Those with hyperhidrosis know that the condition’s impact is considerable and can affect work and social situations and cause psychological distress, dramatically affecting one’s quality of life. Those with axillary hyperhidrosis often have excessive sweating in other areas of the body, such as the palms of the hands or bottoms of the feet. When other treatments have failed, botulinum toxin injections are indicated and are effective in 95% of cases. AZ Vitality and Wellness uses Xeomin, the “naked Botox,” to treat hyperhidrosis. Studies have shown that Xeomin can be used safely and effectively to treat hyperhidrosis. Treatment takes less than 10 minutes and can last 4-7 months, with the longest reported at nine months of effectiveness.

Post-procedure instructions and potential risks are similar to comparable treatments and will be thoroughly reviewed and discussed at your consultation appointment. Schedule a consultation to discuss treatment options and see if Xeomin injections are right for you.
