There is something quietly elegant about a treatment that lets you look like yourself, only a little more rested. Xeomin® is an FDA-approved wrinkle relaxer that gently softens the lines between the brows. It is often described as a purified, or naked, neurotoxin because it is refined to contain only what your skin needs and nothing more.
At McLean & Potomac Dermatology, our board-certified providers favor treatments that leave you looking refreshed and natural, never overdone. Xeomin is one of the refined options we carry for patients who appreciate a streamlined, simplified formulation.
What Xeomin® treats
Xeomin is most commonly used to soften the frown lines between the brows, those small creases that often appear with focus, sun, and time. Your provider will discuss whether Xeomin® is right for other areas of expression during your consultation.
The beauty of a purified formulation
Because Xeomin® is highly purified, it contains only the active ingredient, botulinum toxin type A, specifically incobotulinumtoxinA, without the accessory proteins included in some other products. Some patients and providers prefer this clean profile, and your provider can explain whether the difference is meaningful for you.
How Does Xeomin® Compare to Botox®, Dysport®, and DAXXIFY®?
At McLean & Potomac Dermatology, we offer the full range of wrinkle-relaxing injectables so we can thoughtfully match each treatment to you, rather than the other way around. Many of our patients choose Xeomin® specifically for its purified formulation. The right product depends on the area being treated, how quickly you would like to see results, how long you would like them to last, and how your skin responds to neuromodulators. We will walk you through the choices so you feel confident in your decision.
Your experience
Xeomin® treatments are quick, gentle, and easily woven into a busy day. With little to no downtime, you can return to your routine right away. Results begin to appear within a few days, with the full softening developing gracefully over the following week or two.
Why a dermatology practice makes the difference
Subtle, beautiful results come from skilled hands and a deep understanding of facial anatomy. Every Xeomin® injection at McLean & Potomac Dermatology is placed by an experienced, board-certified provider whose focus is a fresh, natural look that suits your unique features.

What Xeomin® Doesn’t Treat
It’s important to note that this injectable only treats situations where the predominant cause of the wrinkle is muscle movement. By relaxing the right facial muscles, the wrinkle appearance is reduced.
However, Xeomin® is not effective for sagging skin or facial volume loss. In these instances, the underlying causes are the loss of collagen and elastin and the loss and migration of fatty tissues underneath the skin. Treatments like dermal fillers may be a more viable option for such cases.
Combining Xeomin® Cosmetic with Other Treatments
Xeomin® an also be effectively combined with other treatments like dermal fillers. This is often done to achieve enhanced results by improving several factors simultaneously.
For example, Xeomin® can smooth out crow’s feet and frown lines, while a hyaluronic acid filler can bring more volume to the cheeks, chin, or lips.
