4th Day Post Xeomin. Muscles Still Active. When Will the Toxin Start Acting? Will It?

Question

When will the toxin start acting? Will it? Visiting Europe. Just had Bocouture (Xeomin) injected 4 days ago. Product didn´t feel like Vistabel when injected and it seems to take longer than my usual Botox to work. Had used Vistabel 3 times before and my experience was that by day 4 my forehead was done with the overactive expressions. On my 4th day post Bocouture now and my forehead has a life of its own. What can I expect? What can I do besides waiting? thnx

In my practice I have found that Xeomin takes about 7 days to become fully active.  The muscles weaken over the course of the week, and you will see the full effect 7 to 10 days post treatment.

At 4 days post-injection with Xeomin, patients are counseled just to be patient and see what the final results will be. Some patients will not even be responding at 4 days. By 10-14 days post-injection, the final results should be evident, and a determination can be made on how to proceed.Always see an expert physician injector.All the best,

Thank you for your question in regards to Xeomin. Botox and Xeomin are consistent with each other as far as how long it will take to see results (up to 14 days to see full relaxation). The amount of units and injector could be possible factors, although it is still too soon to see full correction. To be sure, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

Xeomin, much like Botox, takes 3-5 days to kick in and then takes its full effect on day 14.  If the amount used was conservative, sometimes the effect is also conservative. I would wait the full 14 days before considering adding any more.

Xeomin can take 7-10 days to see the full effect.  I would wait a full 10 days and follow up with your doctor if you are still not seeing results.  Good Luck.

Xeomin takes 7-10 days to see full result. Contact you medical provider if you are still not seeing any difference, you may need a touch up or more units applied to the area

Xeomin should take effect within 5 days of treatment. This has been my experience in my Los Angeles plastic surgery practice. Xeomin results are long lasting and there is a high level of safety for the treatment of facial wrinkles.

Patients typically start to notice an effect from Xeomin or Botox within 1-4 days. Sometimes, it can take as long as a week. Usually, I invite my patients to come back at 2 weeks so that we can do touchups, if necessary.

Anil R. Shah, MD · Answer

Xeomin, similarily to Botox, works in about 4 to 7 days for most patients. I typically recommend patients wait a week to determine how effective their dose was. If the dose was inadequate, additional botulinum toxin may be necessary. Although there are guidelines for botulinum toxin dosing, dosing and location must be individualized to each patient's anatomy for optimal results.

Kenneth D. Steinsapir, MD · Answer

Again it is important to know how much product you were injected with. Small does do very little. If you were given an inadequate dose of Xeomin, you will not see much of an effect. It is important to go to a well qualified injector.
