I have some wrinkling around my lips attributed to dentition and bone loss : (
Answer: I recently found a deal for 20 units of Xeomin and was curious if it is used for lip injections? Xeomin relaxes facial muscle movement similar to Botox or Dysport. It can be used very carefully to soften the vertical lines that some develop in the upper and lower lips. However, I think your question was asking whether Xeomin can be used to augment the lips. It is not a filler. If you wanted to add volume or shape to your lips you would need a product such as Juvederm. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Xeomin around the lips I am VERY reluctant to use Xeomin, Botox, or Dysport close to the mouth. Some injectors will use these products for smoker's lines and other lines around the lips, but in my opinion, it is usually not worth the risk of affecting talking, eating, or smiling. Fillers or some form of skin resurfacing (lasers or peels) are usually a much better option for addressing wrinkles around the mouth.Finally, I do not recommend shopping for an injector based on price - you will often get what you pay for. Be sure to use an expert physician injector.All the best,

Answer: Lip injections with Xeomin For lip lines, Xeomin can work in conjunction with fillers and laser resurfacing to have the optimal results. If you have volume loss usually filler if the better choice. Xeomin must be used in small amounts around the mouth because if not injected properly or overinjected it can affect the smile.

Answer: Xeomin for fine wrinkles around the mouth Thank you for your question.Xeomin works in a similar manner to Botox Cosmetic and Dysport. In very small doses, it can relax some of the fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth. It is not a filler and will not add volume. Xeomin around the mouth has best results when it is combined with some form of a dermal filler. 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 these treatments. I hope this helps.

Answer: Xeomin 20u is plenty to soften lines above the upper lip. I usually inject 4-6u in that area with great results. Thank you for your question.
