Aging is a natural part of life, but fine lines and wrinkles don’t have to be permanent reminders of the years gone by. Over time, repeated facial expressions like smiling, frowning, or squinting can leave behind creases that deepen as skin loses elasticity. These dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines or crow’s feet, can make you appear older or more tired than you feel.
That’s where Xeomin comes in. This FDA-approved, minimally invasive treatment helps smooth wrinkles and refresh your appearance—without the need for surgery or downtime. Known for its purity and precision, Xeomin works by relaxing the muscles that cause these lines, giving your skin the opportunity to look naturally rejuvenated. Whether you’re new to injectables or seeking a cleaner alternative, Xeomin is a safe, effective option to help you feel confident and refreshed.
Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) is a prescription medication used to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults. Xeomin contains botulinum toxin type A, a protein purified from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Our Boston Xeomin provider, Lauren, R.N., will help patients reduce lines between the eyebrows with these revolutionary injections.
When you squint or frown, the muscles between your brows contract, causing the skin to furrow and fold. Over time, as your skin ages and loses some of its elasticity, these repeated contractions can cause persistent frown lines.
Botulinum toxin type A – the active ingredient in Xeomin – acts on nerve endings in muscles to prevent muscle fibers from contracting. By reducing these contractions, XEOMIN can temporarily reduce the lines on your forehead between your brows.
When it comes to achieving smoother, younger-looking skin, Xeomin offers a non-surgical, no-fuss option that fits seamlessly into your busy lifestyle. Whether you’re gearing up for a special event or just want to feel more confident in your day-to-day life, this treatment delivers noticeable results without the downtime.
Why patients love Xeomin:
Are you noticing lines between your brows that linger long after you stop frowning? Xeomin is ideal for adults who want to address these types of wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle movements. It’s perfect for those seeking a simple, non-surgical fix with reliable results. However, it’s not recommended for individuals with allergies to botulinum toxin or specific health concerns, like neuromuscular disorders.
You’re a good candidate if:
The Xeomin experience is designed to be as quick and seamless as possible. After discussing your goals during a consultation, Dr. Russo will carefully administer small injections to the targeted areas using a fine needle. While most patients don’t find it painful, a topical numbing cream can be applied if you’re concerned about discomfort. The entire Xeomin injection process takes about 15–30 minutes, making it an ideal lunchtime treatment.
In clinical trials, some patients observed visible smoothing as early as 3-4 days after injection. The median first onset of effect was less than a week. The maximum effect typically occurs at 30 days The typical duration of effect is up to three months but may last significantly longer or shorter in individual patients. If you are looking to reduce fine lines and wrinkles with injectable treatments, our Med Spa team strives to provide our patients with some of the best Xeomin Boston has to offer.
One of the best things about Xeomin is that it requires no downtime. Following injections with Xeomin Boston patients can return to their normal activities right after your appointment, though we recommend skipping the gym or any strenuous activity for the first 24 hours.

During your consultation, we’ll provide a personalized estimate tailored to your goals.
