Our whole life is full of emotions, both joyful, positive, and sad or surprised. Every year that we live leaves bright imprints in the form of mimic wrinkles, they are the result of the fact that we not only feel, but also express emotions. You can, of course, try not to smile all your life, not to be surprised and not to frown at all in order to look younger at a more respectable age. But why make such emotional sacrifices today, when there are wonderful drugs and procedures that can simply wipe a few years off the face, making the skin toned and blooming again?
Let's talk today about a remedy that recently appeared on the shelves of doctors specializing in botulinum therapy - Xeomin. What it is, we will find out now.
Let's study a little history
Botulinum therapy is by far one of the most sought-after cosmetic procedures that allows, with minimal trauma to the skin surface, to restore its former fresh and toned appearance. More recently, when a practitioner suggested that a patient undergo botulinum therapy, it meanta procedure for which a drug such as Botox was used. It had no analogues, and the results after the procedure suited almost everyone who decided on it. But progress has never stood still, and today medicine is developing ten times faster than before, so the launch of a drug like Xeomin on the market, began to collect reviews of cosmetologists around him almost immediately.
For the first time, Xeomin was heard about in the recent 2001, in Russia it was approved for use much later - in 2008. Its creator is the German pharmacist Jürgent Frievert.
New generation of drugs
The drug for botulinum therapy of the second generation is Xeomin. What is it - the "second generation" - only experts can explain to us. In simple and understandable words, the Botox familiar to us is a first-generation drug and in its composition, in addition to the miraculous toxin, it has protein, and it is this additional component that causes most of the side effects that “experts” who have heard about such therapy only from third mouth. If we talk about real facts, then the protein that is in Botox causes allergies in its various manifestations, as well as the development of antibodies that make the skin more insensitive to such injections after just a few procedures.
Without the most feared flaws
"Xeomin" began to collect reviews of cosmetologists around him precisely because he is deprivedthe disadvantages described above, which means that the drug will be suitable for almost all patients and subsequent injections will be as effective as the very first ones.
So you can quite loudly call Xeomin not just an analogue of Botox, but its heir, which, quite possibly, will very soon become the most popular drug for such therapy.
How does skin rejuvenation work?
Xeomin injections are injections of botulinum toxin type A, the effectiveness of which is multiplied by such additional elements of the “youth cocktail” for the skin as human serum albumin and sucrose, which is indispensable for cells.
The drug, getting into facial muscles, works exactly at the junctions of nerve endings and muscle fibers, forcing the muscles not to contract, but to completely relax (a kind of mini-paralysis), as a result of which it becomes noticeable that most wrinkles, even deep enough, completely smoothed out. But the body produces new nerve endings, which leads to the expected result - after three or four months, wrinkles begin to appear again.
Who can recommend such a procedure?
It is in aesthetic cosmetology, and not in medicine, that "Xeomin" is used, the instructions for use say this. According to practitioners in the industry and feedback from patients whowe checked the magical effect of this drug, it is best to use "Xeomin" in such cases:
- if you are very worried about the so-called crow's feet or ugly wrinkles in the eye area, which not only make the whole look more tired, but also add a few years to its owner or owner;
- if wrinkles on the forehead have become too expressive, and you want to get rid of them;
- if your face is sullen with pronounced wrinkles between the eyebrows;
- if the wrinkles around your mouth have become too noticeable and unpleasant for you;
- even in the décolleté area "Xeomin" (reviews of the patients themselves confirm this) can significantly improve the appearance of the skin, giving it not only freshness, but also firmness.
And no pain
Even the most sensitive women who have undergone a similar procedure confirm that it is practically painless. If, nevertheless, there is a huge and overwhelming fear of pain from penetrating the skin of the needle and you have chosen Xeomin for yourself, the instructions for use allow you to pre-apply special creams that reduce skin sensitivity and allow you to more easily survive this procedure.

- not as deep as, for example, "Botox", today "Xeomin" is studied (what it is, in particular);
- that this is a short-lived result, those patients who prefer this drug know, because after Botox the result lasts up to 6 months, and Xeomin only lasts 3-4 months.
Not without expert advice

What it is, how the botulinum therapy procedure will take place and how it will affect your skin and your wrinkles, only a specialist can fully explain.
