Subtle Rejuvenation With XEOMIN at Southern Surgical Arts

Expressions are worth protecting. A raised eyebrow carries curiosity. A genuine smile carries warmth. A furrowed brow carries conviction. But when wrinkles overtake those expressions and become the first thing people notice, they stop telling your story the way you intend. Southern Surgical Arts can help soften those lines and let your face speak for itself again. Schedule a consultation with our team and find out how we can address wrinkles at their origin. We welcome patients today at our Atlanta, Georgia location. See you here, y’all!

What Is XEOMIN?

XEOMIN is a neuromodulator in the same family as BOTOX. Neuromodulators work by targeting specific muscles, easing their tension and allowing the overlying skin to settle. The reason this matters: repetitive muscle contractions are the underlying cause of most dynamic facial wrinkles. Each time you make an expression, a network of small muscles fires to reflect your mood. Those muscles pull at the skin attached to them, and over years of repetition, the skin loses its ability to spring back. What were once temporary creases become permanent features. XEOMIN interrupts this cycle along the upper face by blocking the release of acetylcholine, the chemical messenger that triggers muscle contraction. With that signal dampened, the targeted muscles relax and the skin above them smooths out.

XEOMIN vs. BOTOX

XEOMIN and BOTOX are both derived from similar proteins, but they are formulated differently. XEOMIN is purified to remove accessory proteins, which means the body processes it without the additional complexing agents found in BOTOX. One practical result of this purification: XEOMIN does not require refrigeration the way BOTOX does. Some patients receiving BOTOX notice a cold sensation during injection due to its storage requirements. That is not a factor with XEOMIN. Beyond that, the two products interact with individual physiology in distinct ways. Because no two patients are the same, a consultation is the best way to determine which neuromodulator is right for you. Contact Southern Surgical Arts to talk through the differences.

Benefits of XEOMIN

Crow's feet develop gradually before suddenly feeling impossible to ignore. The vertical lines between the brows can give an unintended look of tension or frustration. Forehead creases deepen with every raised eyebrow. XEOMIN can address each of these concerns with targeted precision, relaxing the muscles responsible without freezing your face. Beyond the visible changes, many patients notice a meaningful lift in confidence. A rested, smooth appearance tends to read as calm and assured to others, which can shift the way conversations feel and the way you carry yourself. That effect compounds over time. Additional benefits include:

Derived from a highly purified protein strain
Processed by the body differently than BOTOX
Sessions typically completed in under 30 minutes
Minimally invasive with no surgical risk
No downtime required
No recovery period

Eligible Candidates

Patients with mild to moderate dynamic wrinkling along the upper face are often strong candidates for XEOMIN. Those with more significant skin laxity, excess volume, or deeper structural changes may benefit more from a different approach or a combination of treatments. Candidates should not have active breakouts or acne at or near the planned injection sites. Our team at Southern Surgical Arts will assess your candidacy thoroughly during your personal consultation and recommend the path that makes the most sense for your goals.

Private Consultation

Every successful outcome begins with an honest conversation. At Southern Surgical Arts, the consultation is where we learn what you want, assess what will work, and build a plan tailored to you. Bring your medical history, share your goals, and ask every question you have. A few to consider:

Is XEOMIN the right match for my specific wrinkle pattern?
How does my situation compare between BOTOX and XEOMIN?
Would a topical numbing agent be appropriate before treatment?
How many units would you recommend for my areas of concern?

Our team is equipped to address all of these and more. Browse our blog before your visit to get a sense of our approach and expertise. Call (706) 310-8768 or start the process online to book your appointment.

Lip Flip Treatment With XEOMIN

A lip flip is a non-surgical lip enhancement technique available at Southern Surgical Arts using XEOMIN. Where traditional lip fillers add physical volume, a lip flip uses small, precise injections to relax the muscles around the upper lip, allowing it to roll gently upward and outward for a fuller, more defined appearance.

Areas This Works For

The upper lip border and Cupid's bow, refining shape and visibility
A gummy smile, where excess gum is exposed during expression
Vertical lip lines above the upper lip

How It Works and What to Expect

Your injector places small amounts of XEOMIN into the orbicularis oris muscle, which governs lip movement. When that muscle relaxes, the lip takes on a subtly lifted, more prominent position. Results typically emerge within three to seven days and last two to four months. Most patients return to their normal routine immediately.

Why Consider a Lip Flip Over Fillers?

Produces a softer, more subtle enhancement without added volume
Treatment takes approximately 10 minutes
A lower-commitment and lower-cost option
Well suited for first-time injectable patients or those after a more understated result

Schedule a consultation with our medspa team to determine whether a lip flip, filler, or a combination approach is the right fit for the look you want.

Preparation and Procedure

Because XEOMIN is non-surgical, preparation is straightforward. Many patients move directly from consultation into treatment on the same visit. A topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand if desired, though most patients find the injections well tolerated without it. An ultra-fine needle delivers XEOMIN to each targeted muscle with precision, relaxing the area and allowing your natural features to take center stage.

Rapid Recovery

XEOMIN requires no recovery period. Patients typically resume their full routine the same day, which is why it is often referred to as a lunchtime procedure. Avoid rubbing or applying pressure to the injection sites in the hours following treatment and let the solution settle naturally. Good things come quickly with XEOMIN.

Remarkable Results

Visible improvement generally begins within four to six days as treated muscles ease and expression lines soften. Results from XEOMIN can last up to six months, and scheduling a follow-up session before effects fully fade helps maintain a consistent outcome. Southern Surgical Arts is built on a foundation of safety and patient satisfaction, and we look forward to adding your experience to our record of happy patients.

Complementary and Alternative Procedures

Your face is unique, and the right combination of treatments should reflect that. We offer a full range of services to address varying concerns and degrees of change.

Dermal Fillers

For areas where skin has lost volume and begun to sag, dermal fillers such as JUVÉDERM and Radiesse restore fullness beneath the surface. Where XEOMIN relaxes muscles, fillers replace the structural support that collagen once provided.

Facelift

Patients with more pronounced laxity may find that a cosmetic facelift delivers the degree of improvement they are looking for. SSA surgeons tighten and reposition the skin to restore a more youthful facial contour.

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Lift)

When excess skin collects around the eyelids, a blepharoplasty can restore an alert, refreshed appearance. The procedure can be paired with a brow lift for more comprehensive upper facial rejuvenation.

Laser and Light Treatments

If skin texture, tone, or surface pigmentation are the primary concerns rather than volume or muscle activity, our laser and light therapies offer targeted correction without downtime.

XEOMIN

Is XEOMIN safe?

Yes. XEOMIN has received FDA approval for the treatment of facial wrinkles and has a well-established safety record. It should always be administered by a licensed professional with experience in injectable treatments.

How is XEOMIN different from other neuromodulators on the market?

XEOMIN is uniquely formulated without accessory proteins, making it a purer form of botulinum toxin type A. This distinction affects how the body processes it and eliminates the need for refrigeration. For some patients, this formulation is a better fit than alternatives.

How long does a XEOMIN session take?

Most treatments are completed in under 30 minutes, often much less depending on the number of areas being addressed. The simplicity of the process is part of what makes XEOMIN an easy addition to a busy schedule.

Will XEOMIN make my face look frozen or expressionless?

When administered by a skilled injector with the right dosing, XEOMIN softens lines without eliminating movement. The goal is a natural, rested appearance that still reflects full range of emotion.

Can XEOMIN be combined with other treatments?

Yes. XEOMIN pairs well with dermal fillers, laser treatments, and other aesthetic procedures. During your consultation, your provider can recommend a complementary plan based on your specific concerns and goals.

How often do I need to come in to maintain my results?

XEOMIN results typically last around six months. Many patients schedule a maintenance session as effects begin to fade to keep their results consistent. Your provider will suggest a cadence based on how your skin responds.

At what point after treatment can I resume exercise or other activities?

Most patients return to normal daily activities immediately. Strenuous exercise is generally best avoided for 24 hours following treatment to reduce the risk of product migration, though your provider will give specific guidance at your appointment.
