How long does the result last?
Results are instant from the first treatment. In general, results last from 4 to 8 months. The duration of the result depends on factors such as skin type, age and lifestyle.
How does Xeomin works:
Xeomin is delivered into muscles to decrease their activity. XEOMIN blocks the release of a chemical messenger-acetylcholine-that conveys the signal from nerve terminals and causes muscle fibers to contract. Not all terminals are affected by botulinum toxin, so the muscles can still contract, just less forcefully. This allows the muscles to contract more normally.
