Xeomin for forehead wrinkles not working yet?

I always tell my patients to wait the full two weeks before making any adjustments.  Most patients will see the full effects within around 10 days, but at 3 days post-injection, it is simply far too early to make any determinations about the results.All the best,

Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA, also called botulinum
toxin type A), is made from the bacteria that causes botulism. Botulinum toxin
blocks nerve activity in the muscles, causing a temporary reduction in muscle
activity. It should effect 3 to 6 days after injection. But if the wrinkles are very deep it only dispel just a little bit.

Botox and Xeomin work in the same way. You should see results in about a week with either product. The amount of product used and injector could be variables that may give you a different outcome. Dysport tends to work a little faster than Botox or Xeomin with results being evident after the second day or third day for most patients. I hope this helps and that you're now happy with your results.  

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. 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.

The full effect of Xeomin should be seen at two weeks.  Typical results may wear off in three to four months. 

I think you need to wait the 7-14 days to see what kind of effect you have from the Xeomin.  If you do not think you had a good effect, I would consult with your provider. You may need a touch up.  I find that Botox Cosmetic and Xeomin work equally well on most people.

Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin lock the release of a chemical called acetylcholine, which triggers the muscle contractions that create wrinkles. Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin essentially paralyze the muscles and stops them from contracting. Results from these treatments are visible within 3-7 days with results that can last anywhere from 3-4 months. Follow up with your injector at 2 weeks to discuss any questions or concerns. Hope this helps. 

Each patient is different how they respond to products. Xeomin and Botox are very similar. Just give it some time to kick it. You may find that Xeomin last longer then Botox or Botox may be a better option for you. You can decide which product worked best for you and stick with that one at your next visit.

Thank you for your question,

Because Xeomin typically takes two weeks for full results to become apparent, I would recommend waiting a bit longer to see if results appear. If after two weeks you still do not see results, I would recommend contacting your injector to discuss next steps.

Best of luck!

I have found Xeomin to be every bit as effective as botox. It is still early after your treatment, so I would give it more time.
