How soon does Xeomin begin to work?

leannejhJun 3, 2017

Hi, how soon can Xeomin begin to work? I had it about 36 hours ago and may be getting a Spock effect. Maybe it is my imagination. What is the earliest it can start to work? We used the same number of units as I have also previously had with Botox with no problems.

I doubt you will wake up with a droopy face, but you should tell your injector about your symptoms. Xeonim is a great neuromodulator. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO

Xeomin is like Botox.  Patients will typically start seeing results in 5-7 days.  The final result can take up to 10 days.  I would wait the full 10 days to see what your final result will be.  I would recommend reaching out to the doctor who injected you with any questions or concerns that you...

After all, it is an ‘injection’ .  We uses as small a needle as possible and try to limit the number of pric...

Thanks for your question and the photo you provided. It is difficult to say, since I did not examine you myself, but many people have asymmetry to the eyebrows, wrinkles, muscles before any injection and then after wards is when the patient notices! More neurotoxin should help achieve more...
