Are you worried about crow’s feet making you look older than you really are? Do you have deep forehead folds that make people think you are unapproachable? Do you wish your skin was as smooth as it was when you were in your early 20s? If so, you may be considered a good candidate for Xeomin at Indian Medical Weight Loss & Wellness in Hendersonville, TN. Read on to learn more about this treatment, including how soon it works.
Does Xeomin Work Immediately?
Xeomin starts to work immediately, but you won’t be able to see your final results as soon as your injections are administered. Individual results vary, but you can generally expect to see your results three to four days after your injections are administered.
How Does This Compare to Other Injectable Muscle Relaxants?
You can see results from this injectable muscle relaxant approximately four times faster than other injectable muscle relaxants. Different people see their results at different rates depending on several factors, including how well they follow the post-treatment care guidelines, but most people can expect to see the results of other injectable muscle relaxants after 10 to 14 days.
How Long Does Xeomin Last?
How long Xeomin results last depends on how large, strong, and tense your treated muscles are. Another factor that affects the longevity of your results is how healthy your skin is. Usually, the results of this injectable muscle relaxant last for four to six months, but individual results vary.
How Does This Compare to Other Injectable Muscle Relaxants?
Xeomin lasts two to three times longer than other injectable muscle relaxants. Again, individual results vary, but if you opted for a different muscle relaxant treatment, you could generally expect your results to last for two to four months.
Is There Anything I Can Do to Increase the Longevity of My Results?
Yes, there are steps you can take to increase the longevity of your results. Remember, the longevity of your results is affected by how healthy your skin is. Therefore, to extend the longevity of your results, you need to ensure that your skin remains as healthy as possible for as long as possible. Fortunately, there are several steps you can take to maintain the health of your skin.
Remaining hydrated is one of the best things you can do to maintain the health of your skin. There are several supportive structures that keep your skin young, tight, smooth, and healthy. All of these structures require water.
Am I a Good Candidate for This Treatment?
To determine whether you are a good candidate for this treatment, you need to come in for an initial consultation. One of the greatest things about this treatment is that almost every healthy adult qualifies. It lasts around twice to thrice as long as other injectable muscle relaxants due to the purity of the medication. For the same reason, the risk of an allergic reaction to this medication is mitigated.
However, this treatment is not appropriate for everyone. For example, it is not appropriate for women who are going through pregnancy or lactation. It is also not appropriate for women who are trying to become pregnant or have breastfed recently. It is also not appropriate for individuals who have a history of keloid scarring or are currently suffering from a bleeding disorder.
Will This Treatment Work for Me If Other Injectable Muscle Relaxants Don’t?
There is an excellent chance that this treatment will work for you if other muscle relaxants don’t. The reason for this is the same reason that it is safe for virtually everyone and it lasts a lot longer than other treatments. This injectable muscle relaxant comprises only the pure protein that settles into some of the motor receptors in your targeted areas to prevent hyperactivity.
There is a very good reason that other injectable muscle relaxants lose efficacy over time. Your body is very good at protecting itself from toxins. Medications that are similar to Xeomin contain extra neurotoxic proteins that your body remembers. Over the course of several years, your immune system gets to the point that it recognizes these extra proteins very quickly, mounts an effective, rapid response, and metabolizes them.
Will This Treatment Lose Efficacy Over Time?
No, this treatment will not lose efficacy over time. To reiterate, there are no superfluous binding proteins in this medication’s formula, so there are no extra proteins for your immune system to learn to recognize. If another injectable muscle relaxant was effective for a couple of years for you but is no longer providing you with your desired results, you can feel confident that this injectable muscle relaxant will remain effective for the rest of your life.
How Should I Prepare for My Treatment?
Even though this treatment is safe for almost every adult, there are still steps you must take to prepare for your injection session. For example, it is crucial that you stop taking any muscle relaxants, including prescription muscle relaxants and magnesium supplements for several days in advance of your session. It is also essential that you do not take certain sleep aids for several days in advance of your treatment session.
Furthermore, it is crucial that your blood viscosity is normal at the time of your appointment. Do not take anything that can thin your blood, including over-the-counter NSAIDs, prescription NSAIDs, and vitamin E supplements. If we determine you are a good fit for this treatment, we will provide you with a comprehensive list of drugs and supplements you should avoid taking before your treatment during your initial consultation.
How Else Should I Prepare for My Treatment?
In addition to not taking blood thinners, it is very important that you take steps to ensure your blood pressure is normal at the time of your appointment. Therefore, you should watch your sodium and caffeine intake in the days leading up to your treatment. Additionally, you should make sure you’re hydrated when you come in for your injection session, and you should not exercise vigorously shortly before your treatment session.
Note, it is also crucial that your skin is not irritated when you come in for your injections. Therefore, you should not schedule any cosmetic treatments that may irritate your skin in the days leading up to your appointment. Additionally, you should ensure that your skincare products are gentle. It is highly advisable to not try any new skincare products, especially skincare products that contain fragrances.
Can I Shave Before My Treatment Session?
It is okay to shave before your treatment session. However, you should not wax or tweeze hairs in the treatment area before your appointment. Also, it is not recommended to use depilatory creams in the treatment area before your appointment. If possible, use a new razor to shave before your treatment session to mitigate your risk of skin irritation. We will have to reschedule your appointment if your skin is irritated.
Is There Anything I Should Avoid After My Treatment Session?
Yes, there are things you should avoid after your treatment session. For example, you should not apply too much pressure to the treatment area during the first four hours following the administration of your injections. If possible, do not touch the treatment area at all. Also, you should avoid your treatment area getting too hot for 24 hours. Do not engage in vigorous physical activity, and refrain from taking a steaming hot shower.
