Xeomin® (incobotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved neurotoxin treatment that temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for expression lines — frown lines, forehead creases, and crow's feet — for a refreshed, natural look without surgery or downtime.
Known as a "naked" neurotoxin, Xeomin is formulated without the accessory proteins found in other products like Botox. This may reduce the likelihood of developing resistance with repeated treatments over time — a common concern for long-term neurotoxin users. At Bluewater, Xeomin injections are performed by Michelle Sasala, ARNP-BC, our board-certified nurse practitioner with extensive aesthetic injection experience.
Xeomin treats dynamic wrinkles — lines caused by repeated facial expressions. Results appear within 3–5 days and typically last 3–4 months, with many patients finding that regular treatments extend duration over time.
Both are botulinum toxin type A products that work by the same mechanism — temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles. The key difference is formulation and purity.
Pure botulinum toxin type A — formulated without accessory proteins. May reduce risk of antibody resistance with long-term use. No refrigeration required prior to use. Comparable efficacy and duration to Botox.
Contains complexing proteins alongside the active toxin. The most widely used neurotoxin globally. Some long-term patients notice diminishing results over time — switching to Xeomin may help restore effectiveness.
The right product depends on your history and goals. Your injector will recommend the best option at your consultation.
Your injector reviews your treatment history, assesses facial movement, and creates a targeted plan.
10–20 minutes. Fine needle injections into targeted muscles. Most patients describe a quick pinch sensation.
No downtime. Avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol for 4 hours. Return to your normal day immediately.
Onset 3–5 days, full effect at 2 weeks. Results last approximately 3–4 months.
Michelle Sasala, ARNP-BC, brings clinical precision and a patient-focused approach — prioritizing natural-looking results over a frozen appearance.
Injections are performed in a clinical setting with full medical oversight — not a walk-in aesthetic kiosk.
We offer Botox, Xeomin, and Daxxify — so your recommendation is based on your needs, not which product we stock.
Xeomin is priced at $11 per unit at Bluewater Plastic Surgery. The number of units varies by treatment area and degree of muscle activity. See our Non-Surgical Pricing page for a full breakdown, or schedule a consultation for a personalized estimate.
Both are botulinum toxin type A products. Xeomin's formulation without accessory proteins may reduce the chance of developing antibody resistance with long-term use. Results and duration are comparable between the two products for most patients.
Yes. Xeomin is FDA-approved and has an excellent safety record when administered by a trained, qualified injector. Side effects are minimal and typically limited to mild bruising or temporary redness at the injection sites.
