We have three convenient locations in Chattanooga and Ooltewah, Tennessee, as well as Calhoun, Georgia. See you here, y’all!

What Is Xeomin?

Xeomin is a neuromodulator similar to Botox. Neuromodulators target specific muscles to ease their tension and bring a harmonious sense of calm to the skin. Why would you want to interfere in repetitive muscular contractions, you may ask? Because they are the root cause of many facial wrinkles.

Every time your face moves, a fine network of muscles contracts to illustrate your emotional state. Every muscular contraction pulls at the skin to which your muscles are attached. Over time, the skin loses its elasticity. Facial gestures become ingrained in your skin, taking the form of creases.

Xeomin disrupts the unwanted contraction of muscles along the upper face. When muscles contract, it is due to the release of acetylcholine from your neural pathways. Xeomin blocks acetylcholine, allowing your muscles the chance to relax.

Xeomin vs. BOTOX

Xeomin and BOTOX are created from similar proteins. Xeomin, however, is free from complexing proteins, so the body absorbs and processes it differently than BOTOX. Due to the fact that Xeomin is purified to remove accessory proteins, it does not require refrigeration, like BOTOX does.

Some BOTOX recipients complain about the cold discomfort of their injections as a byproduct of the refrigeration process. That cool rush has no place in the Xeomin procedure.

Simply put, BOTOX and Xeomin consist of different chemical composites. Your physiology is unique to you, so your aesthetic journey should also be individualized. Contact Southern Surgical Arts (SSA) to discuss the differences between BOTOX and Xeomin.

Crow’s feet can creep up on you. The “11” lines between your eyes may add up to an unwelcome facial feature. And the creases on your brow seem to get more pronounced every day.

Aside from the obvious cosmetic benefits of Xeomin, there are several psychological rewards as well. A calm demeanor exudes confidence. Onlookers, in turn, may perceive you as strong and proud. This yields a change in communication, which may further increase your confidence. It is an upward cycle of benefits, and it starts with a simple Xeomin treatment session. Additional benefits include the following:

Eligible Candidates

If you have mild to moderate wrinkling along your face, then you may be the perfect candidate for Xeomin treatment. Excessive creases, fat deposits, and loose skin may require a different approach.

This means they can not be experiencing active breakouts or acne on the site(s) of their potential injection. The experienced medical professionals at Southern Surgical Arts can determine your candidacy for Xeomin treatment during your individual consultation.

Private Consultation

Communication is the backbone of great achievement. What begins as a simple conversation blossoms into solutions, strategies, and eventual transformation. To begin the enhancement process, book a consultation at SSA. We can help assess your current situation and recommend Xeomin or whichever aesthetic treatment works best for you. Be prepared to share your medical history and future goals. Ask plenty of questions to make sure you are making an informed decision. If you are at a loss for words, here are some conversation starters to keep in mind.

Is Xeomin right for my specific pattern of fine lines?

Can I get a topical cream to numb the discomfort?

Preparation and Procedure

Since Xeomin is a non-surgical solution to facial wrinkles, it does not require extensive preparation. In fact, you may be ready for your first treatment immediately following your consultation! Your clinician may provide a numbing topical solution, but most patients tolerate the feeling of their injections without the need for additional comforting measures. An ultra-fine needle will deliver the Xeomin solution precisely to the target of your dissatisfaction. Facial muscles will relax, allowing your signature look to shine through.

Rapid Recovery

You can resume your normal daily activities immediately following a Xeomin session. In fact, the treatment is so easy, it is sometimes called a “lunchtime” procedure. Please avoid irritation at the site of your injection(s) and allow the solution to dissipate at its own pace. Great results are worth the wait!

Complementary and Alternative Procedures

Every face tells a story, so let yours guide the aesthetic enhancement process. We offer a full suite of services to address a wide array of facial imperfections.

Dermal Fillers

If your skin is mildly sagging, you may require some help from dermal fillers. As skin ages, it loses the support of its underlying network of collagen. Skin hangs away from the muscle and fine tissue, making it appear puckered and lifeless. Dermal fillers like Juvéderm and Radiesse plump empty gaps beneath the surface and add volume to your features.

Facelift

For more pronounced skin laxity, consider the benefits of a cosmetic facelift. SSA can tighten and tone the skin along your features to restore your youth and vitality.

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Lift)

If loose skin is concentrated along your eyelids, a blepharoplasty surgery may be just what the doctor(s) ordered. Your surgeon will skillfully contour your eyelids to renew their alert appearance. Blepharoplasty can be performed in conjunction with a brow lift to raise your upper facial features and smooth bothersome lines over your eyes.

Laser and Light Treatments

If you are satisfied with the dimensions and elasticity of your skin, but struggle with surface imperfections like acne and sun spots, consider the illuminating boost of laser treatments. Our safe, thorough array of light therapy can erase blemishes and restore your youthful glow!
