Why Patients Trust My Plastic Surgery Group for Xeomin
Choosing who performs your injectable treatment is just as important as choosing the product itself. While Xeomin is a widely used wrinkle relaxer, achieving natural-looking results requires an understanding of facial anatomy, muscle movement, facial balance, and the aging process. Small differences in injection placement, dosage, and treatment planning can significantly influence the final outcome.
At My Plastic Surgery Group, Xeomin treatments are performed by experienced injectors who specialize in facial aesthetics and individualized treatment planning. Every recommendation is based on your unique anatomy, goals, and concerns—not a one-size-fits-all formula. Our philosophy is simple: help patients look refreshed, never overdone.
Our Philosophy on Natural-Looking Results
One of the first concerns many patients share is: "I don't want to look frozen." We agree. The best Xeomin treatment should allow you to continue smiling, laughing, and expressing emotion naturally. Friends, family members, and coworkers may notice that you look more rested or refreshed, but they shouldn't immediately know you've had treatment.
Our goal is not to eliminate every line on your face. Our goal is to create a refreshed appearance that still feels authentically you.

Questions & Answers with Dr. Aker
Is Xeomin FDA-approved?
Yes. Xeomin is FDA-approved for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows in adults, as well as certain medical conditions. It may also be used in other facial areas when your provider determines that treatment is appropriate.
How is Xeomin different from Botox?
Xeomin and Botox both use botulinum toxin type A to temporarily relax the muscles responsible for expression lines. The primary difference is their formulation: Xeomin contains the active ingredient without accessory proteins, while Botox includes accessory proteins. Neither is universally better, so your surgeon will recommend an option based on your anatomy, goals, and previous treatment experience.
How is Xeomin different from Dysport?
Xeomin and Dysport are neuromodulators that work in similar ways but differ in formulation, dosing, and how they may spread within a treatment area. Some patients develop a preference based on how quickly a product begins working or how it performs for them. Your surgeon can help determine which option best fits your needs.
How long does Xeomin last?
Xeomin results generally last approximately three to four months. Duration varies depending on the treatment area, dosage, muscle strength, metabolism, and how your body responds to the product.
When will I see my Xeomin results?
Many patients begin noticing a softening of their expression lines within several days. Results continue to develop as the targeted muscles relax, with the full effect typically visible within one to two weeks.
Does Xeomin hurt?
Most patients find Xeomin treatment quick and very tolerable. Injections are administered with a fine needle and may feel like a brief pinch. Treatment typically takes 15 to 30 minutes and does not require anesthesia.
Will Xeomin make me look frozen?
The goal is to soften unwanted lines without eliminating the expressions that make you look like yourself. Dr. Aker and Dr. Beckman customize the dosage and injection placement according to your facial anatomy and muscle activity to create a refreshed, natural-looking result.
Can Xeomin help prevent future wrinkles?
By temporarily reducing repeated muscle contractions, Xeomin may help keep certain dynamic wrinkles from becoming more deeply etched into the skin. It cannot stop the natural aging process, but consistent treatment may help slow the progression of expression lines.
How many units of Xeomin will I need?
The number of units depends on the areas being treated, strength of the underlying muscles, severity of your lines, and desired degree of correction. Your surgeon will evaluate your facial movement and create a treatment plan tailored to you.
Can Xeomin be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Xeomin may be combined with dermal fillers, laser skin treatments, Morpheus8, or professional skincare to address multiple signs of facial aging. Xeomin treats muscle-related expression lines, while complementary treatments can improve concerns such as volume loss, skin texture, pigmentation, or laxity.
How often should I receive Xeomin treatments?
Many patients schedule maintenance treatments every three to four months, when facial movement and expression lines begin to return. Your ideal schedule will depend on how long your results last and whether you prefer continuous or occasional improvement.
