Xeomin in
Louisville, KY
Soften upper facial lines while keeping your natural expression.
Frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet can make you look tired, tense or older than you feel. Xeomin offers a nonsurgical way to soften these expression lines and create a smoother, more refreshed appearance.
At The Skin Group, every Xeomin treatment is customized to your facial anatomy, muscle movement and aesthetic goals. The objective is not to change the way you look. It is to help you appear refreshed while preserving the expressions that make you look like yourself.
1540 Fractional Laser in Louisville, KY
Improve Acne Scars, Texture and Fine Lines with Non-Ablative Resurfacing
Acne scars, uneven texture, fine lines and stretch marks can remain visible even when your skin is otherwise healthy. Topical products may improve the surface of the skin, but they cannot always address irregularities that extend into deeper layers.
The Skin Group offers the 1540 fractional laser for patients who want to improve skin texture and selected scars without removing the entire outer surface of the skin. The treatment creates precise columns of controlled heat beneath the surface, encouraging the skin’s natural repair process while leaving surrounding tissue intact.
Your treatment is customized according to your skin, the concern being addressed and the amount of recovery time that fits your schedule.
What Is Xeomin?
Xeomin is a prescription injectable treatment made with incobotulinumtoxinA. It temporarily reduces activity in selected facial muscles that create dynamic wrinkles—the lines caused by repeated expressions such as frowning, raising the eyebrows, smiling or squinting.
Xeomin is FDA-approved for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe upper facial lines in adults, including frown lines between the eyebrows, forehead lines and crow’s feet. By precisely treating the muscles responsible for these lines, Xeomin can create a smoother appearance without surgery or an extended recovery period.
What Does Xeomin Treat?
Xeomin® is an injectable neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes targeted muscles to soften the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, or lines caused by repeated facial movements.
Your provider will assess your facial movement and determine whether Xeomin is the most appropriate option for your concerns. Any use outside its FDA-approved indications should be discussed clearly during your consultation.
Benefits of Xeomin
Xeomin is popular because it can create a noticeable yet subtle improvement without surgery or significant downtime. Potential benefits include:
- A smoother, more rested appearance across the upper face
- Natural-looking results when treatment is properly planned
- A quick, in-office treatment
- Little interruption to most daily routines
- A treatment plan customized to your facial movement and muscle strength
- Gradual improvement that does not look sudden or dramatic
- Temporary results for patients who are not ready for a permanent procedure
- The ability to adjust future treatments based on your preferences and response
Natural-Looking Xeomin Results
Xeomin does not produce its final result immediately. Most patients begin to notice results within a few days, with the full effect typically visible about two weeks after treatment. The result is a smoother, more relaxed appearance in the treated area while preserving natural facial movement.
Because Xeomin is a “naked” neurotoxin free of complexing proteins, many patients appreciate its clean formulation. Results are temporary and generally last around three to four months, though this varies from person to person.
The number and spacing of treatments will depend on the area being treated, your muscle activity and your provider’s protocol. With consistent follow-up sessions, results can be maintained over time.
Individual results vary, and your provider can recommend a treatment plan best suited to your goals.
Xeomin vs. BOTOX
Xeomin and BOTOX are both injectable neuromodulators that temporarily reduce targeted muscle activity. They contain different formulations of botulinum toxin type A, and their units are product-specific and not interchangeable.
Both treatments may be used to improve upper facial expression lines. Xeomin is formulated without the accessory complexing proteins found in some other botulinum toxin products. This does not automatically make one product better for every patient, but it is one distinction your provider may consider when recommending a treatment.
Some patients develop a preference based on how a product takes effect, how the result feels or how long it lasts for them. Your provider can explain the differences and recommend the option best suited to your anatomy, treatment history and goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Xeomin
Will Xeomin make me look frozen?
That should not be the goal of a thoughtful treatment plan. With careful placement and appropriate dosing, Xeomin can soften expression lines while preserving natural facial movement. Patients who want a very subtle change can request a conservative approach.
How long does Xeomin last?
Xeomin® typically lasts about 3 to 4 months, although results can vary from person to person.
When will I see Xeomin results?
You may begin to notice changes within a few days of your Xeomin® treatment, with results continuing to develop over the following days. Most patients can expect to see full results within about 2 weeks.
Is there downtime after Xeomin?
Xeomin requires little to no formal downtime, and most patients return to their normal routine after the appointment. Temporary redness, tenderness, swelling or bruising can occur around the injection sites. Follow the aftercare instructions provided by your clinical team.
Does Xeomin hurt?
Most patients describe the injections as a series of brief pinches. The needles are very small, and the treatment itself is typically completed quickly.
How many units of Xeomin will I need?
The amount needed depends on the areas being treated, your anatomy, muscle strength and treatment plan. Xeomin units are specific to Xeomin and should not be directly compared with the units used for other neuromodulators. Your provider will determine the appropriate dose after evaluating your facial movement.
Am I a good candidate for Xeomin?
Xeomin may be appropriate for adults who are bothered by moderate to severe frown lines, forehead lines or crow’s feet and want a nonsurgical, temporary treatment. A consultation is needed to review your goals, medical history, medications and whether treatment is appropriate for you.
Is Xeomin safe?
Yes. Xeomin® has an established safety record when administered by a qualified medical professional using appropriate dosing. Like any injectable treatment, it can have side effects, which may include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, headache, or tenderness at the injection site.
What makes Xeomin different from other neuromodulators?
Xeomin® is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A that does not contain accessory proteins. It works similarly to other neuromodulators by temporarily relaxing targeted muscles to soften the appearance of dynamic wrinkles.
One of the main distinctions is Xeomin’s unique formulation, which contains only the active botulinum toxin without the accessory proteins found in some other botulinum toxin products. However, this does not necessarily mean Xeomin is more effective or longer-lasting than other neuromodulators.
Ultimately, the best neuromodulator for you depends on your anatomy, muscle movement, treatment area, and aesthetic goals. Your provider can help determine which option is the best fit.
Can Xeomin be combined with fillers or other treatments?
Yes. Depending on your concerns, Xeomin may be part of a broader plan that includes dermal fillers, laser treatments, chemical peels, microneedling or professional skin care. Your provider will recommend an appropriate treatment sequence.
What is a Lip Flip?
A lip flip is a quick, minimally invasive treatment that uses a small amount of BOTOX® to relax the muscles around the upper lip. This allows the upper lip to gently “flip” upward, creating a subtle enhancement and making more of the lip visible when you smile.
Unlike lip filler, a lip flip does not add volume. Instead, it changes the position and appearance of the upper lip for a more defined, natural-looking result. It can be a great option for patients who want a subtle enhancement or who feel their upper lip tends to disappear when they smile.
Results are temporary and typically last about 2–3 months, depending on the individual.
A Smoother, More Refreshed Appearance
You do not need to look dramatically different to feel more confident in your appearance. Softening upper facial lines that make you appear tired or tense can create a meaningful—but still natural—change.
