Our whole life is full of emotions, both joyful, positive, and sad or surprised. Each year we have lived leaves bright prints in the form of facial wrinkles, they are the result of the fact that we not only feel, but also express emotions. You can, of course, try all your life not to smile, not to be surprised and not to frown at all in order to look younger at a more advanced age. But why make such emotional sacrifices today if there are excellent preparations and procedures that allow you to simply brush off your face for several years, making your skin toned and flowered again?
Let's talk today about the remedy, which recently appeared on the shelves of doctors specializing in botulinum therapy - the drug "Xeomin". What is it, we will find out now.
Let's learn a little history
Botulinum therapy today is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures that allow, with minimal trauma to the surface of the skin, to restore its former fresh and toned look. More recently, when a practitioner suggested that the patient undergo botulinum therapy, this meant a procedure for which a drug such as Botox was used. He had no analogues, and the results after the procedure satisfied almost everyone who decided on it. But progress never stood still, and today medicine is developing ten times faster than before, so that the entry of such a drug as Xeomin into the market, "began to collect reviews of cosmetologists around itself almost immediately.
The first time they heard about Xeomin in the recent 2001, it was approved for use in Russia much later, in 2008. Its creator is the German pharmacist Jurgent Frevert.
A new generation of drugs
The drug for botulinum therapy of the second generation is Xeomin. What is this - the "second generation" - only specialists can explain to us. In simple and understandable words, the familiar “Botox” is a first-generation drug and, in addition to the miraculous toxin, has protein in its composition, and it is this additional component that causes most of the side effects that scare us “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 flaws that are most feared
“Kseomin” began to collect reviews of cosmetologists around him precisely because it was devoid of the above disadvantages, 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 occur?
Xeomin injections are injections of type A botulinum toxin , the effectiveness of which is enhanced by such additional elements of the “youth cocktail” for the skin as human serum albumin and indispensable for sucrose cells.
The drug, getting into the facial muscles, works precisely at the junction of nerve endings and muscle fibers, causing the muscles not to contract, but to completely relax (such a mini-paralysis), as a result of which it becomes noticeable that most wrinkles, even quite deep ones, are completely smoothed out . But the body produces new nerve endings, which leads to the expected result - after three or four months, wrinkles begin to emerge again.
Who can recommend a similar procedure?
It is in aesthetic cosmetology, and not in medicine, that "Xeomin" is used, and the instructions for use indicate this. According to the opinions of practitioners in this industry and the reviews of patients who have tested the magical effect of this drug on themselves, 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 the wrinkles on the forehead have become too expressive, and you want to get rid of them;
- if gloominess is added to your face between the eyebrows, pronounced wrinkles;
- if the wrinkles around your mouth become too noticeable and unpleasant for you;
- even in the Xeomin decollete zone (the patient’s reviews confirm this), it can significantly improve the appearance of the skin, giving it not only freshness, but also tautness.
And no pain
Even the most sensitive women who have undergone such a procedure confirm that it is almost painless. If there is still a huge and irresistible fear of pain from penetrating the needle under the skin and you have chosen the Xeomin preparation for yourself, the instructions for use allow you to pre-apply special creams that reduce the sensitivity of the skin and allow you to more easily survive this procedure.
Let's talk in detail about the benefits
Learn as much as you can about botulinum toxin therapy, and it will be much easier for you to choose Xeomin or Botox. Now we bring to your attention the most significant advantages of Xeomin, which should not be forgotten:
- As already mentioned, the drug was "cleaned" of the protein part, that is, there is no need to be afraid of any allergic reactions.
- The drug has a very small molecular weight. It is this advantage that allows him to interact even with the smallest muscles.
“Kseomin” deserved reviews full of admiration from the very experts, because it’s much easier to handle than, for example, Botox, because it doesn’t need to be stored in the cold, it feels great at room temperature. If you do not follow the storage rules of Botox, then it can become simply ineffective.
- We also mentioned that after several injections of Botox, subsequent procedures will have a much smaller visible effect. Xeomin injections will not cause antibody production, even if you do them regularly for many years.
- The drug does not affect the deep layers of the muscles. As a result, the face retains its usual emotional reactions. That is, the procedure gives the result, but the effect of the wax mask that scares everyone instead of the face will not be observed.
- Xeomin injections are much more affordable than the Botox, so now even a person with an average income can regularly return a fresh look to the skin.
- The drug has a weak amount of diffusion into the connective tissue. There are many advantages of this feature, the main of which is the absence of undesirable asymmetry effects.
We emphasize the disadvantages
In order to objectively evaluate "Xeomin", it is worth recalling its disadvantages, their list is small, but very important for every potential client of beauty salons:
- weak diffusion of the drug also has disadvantages, because it is not able to fight in view of this feature with axillary tissue hyperhidrosis;
- not as deep as, for example, Botox, Xeomin has been studied today (what it is, in particular);
- that this is a short-lived result, it is precisely those patients who have preferred this drug, because after Botox the result lasts up to 6 months, and Xeomin lasts only 3-4 months.
No way without expert advice
As practice shows, only a practicing specialist can choose the right drug for each individual case - Botox or Xeomin. What it is, how the botulinum therapy procedure will go, and how it will affect your skin and your wrinkles, only a specialist can fully explain. He must necessarily preliminarily evaluate both the depth of wrinkles and the principle of their placement on the face or in the decollete zone, and he must also take into account contraindications specifically for the procedure you have chosen together with him.
But there are contraindications
We will familiarize ourselves with the list of contraindications in which the specialist should categorically prohibit the conduct of such a procedure using such a drug as "Xeomin":
- the instruction says that such injections can not be done if you have diseases of the nervous or muscle system and wrinkles that bother you, are their manifestation;
- if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you will have to postpone this procedure a little;
- if you have an acute infectious disease, which is also accompanied by an increase in body temperature, a specialist must forbid you to enter "Xeomin" in this condition;
- the use of this drug is also impossible if you are taking antibacterial drugs;
- the presence of glaucoma or severe somatic diseases automatically closes your path to rejuvenation with the help of "Xeomin";
- if allergic reactions to botulinum toxin were previously observed, the cosmetologist is obliged to refuse you to carry out such a procedure.
Are there any side effects?
If we talk about side effects, they develop very rarely and in the vast majority of cases only because the rules for such a procedure were not followed. In such cases, side effects may be as follows:
- small bruising in those places where the needle entered under the skin;
- the presence of slight swelling after the procedure;
- Not too pronounced sagging tissue, even after you injected "Xeomin";
- reviews of cosmetologists who saw the results of the intervention of their unprofessional colleagues confirm that the patient may have asymmetrical facial features.
What do experts recommend that the effect of the procedure surpasses all expectations?
Following all the recommendations of your cosmetologist, you will get a truly amazing and simply stunning effect after the procedure! Here is a short list of the correct behavior after the procedure:
- It is worth abandoning the use of antibiotics in the first days after the procedure;
- try to control yourself and not sleep face down;
- It is necessary to refuse from excessive physical exertion, as the muscles of the face will automatically strain, which is not recommended in the first week after the procedure;
- from drinks that have even a small dose of alcohol, we also completely refuse for the first time;
- try not to overheat facial tissues, so do not visit saunas and bathhouses, as well as tanning salons for several days if you have been injected with Xeomin;
- photos of patients who did not massage their face for several days after the procedure and completely refused decorative cosmetics show that their effect from the procedure was much more expressive than those patients who could not resist and did not observe this simple rule.
So "Xeomin" can rightfully be considered a breakthrough of a century or even a millennium in the field of cosmetology. Many of its advantages, including an affordable price, make it possible without a doubt to say that in the coming years such a procedure will not only be in demand, but also widely used in the field of cosmetology. After all, we all want to at least a little bit to keep our youth and like ourselves more than yesterday. And if it is really possible to do it today with a small expenditure of finance and time, then why deny yourself such a pleasure?
