How does XEOMIN® work?
When you squint or frown, the muscles between your brows contract, causing the skin to furrow and fold. Over time, as the skin ages and loses some of its elasticity these repeated contractions can cause persistent frown lines. Botulinum toxin type A– the active ingredient in Xeomin– acts on nerve endings in muscles to prevent muscle fibers from contracting. By reducing these contractions, Xeomin can temporarily reduce the lines of your forehead between your brows.
