A purified wrinkle relaxer for clean, natural results
Xeomin® is an FDA-approved neurotoxin made with a refined manufacturing process that removes accessory proteins, leaving only the active ingredient. It’s sometimes described as a “naked” wrinkle relaxer.
It smooths the same expression lines as other neurotoxins, including frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet, by temporarily relaxing the muscles that create them.
Some patients choose Xeomin® because they prefer a streamlined formula, while others try it after years of using a different product.
As with every treatment at KDR, your dose and injection plan are tailored to the way your face moves.
Our Boston team keeps Xeomin® results refined and balanced, so people notice you look well rested, not that you had something done.

Areas we treat
Xeomin® is used most often on the upper face to soften lines that appear with expression.
Forehead lines
Horizontal lines that appear when you raise your eyebrows. Careful dosing smooths them while keeping natural brow movement.
Frown lines
The vertical “11s” between the brows that can make you look tired or stressed even when you’re not.
Crow’s feet
The fine lines that fan out from the corners of the eyes when you smile or squint.
Subtle brow lift
Strategic placement can raise the tail of the brow slightly for a more open, refreshed eye area.
Preventive treatment
Lighter doses started early can help keep expression lines from becoming permanent creases.
Your Xeomin® appointment
Consultation
We start with a conversation about your goals and a close look at how your face moves.
During this visit, we:
Review your health history and medications
Watch your expressions in motion
Talk about the lines you’d like to soften
Set realistic expectations together
Agree on a personalized plan
If Xeomin® is a good fit, treatment can often happen the same day.
Treatment
The appointment itself is quick and comfortable.
Your skin is cleansed, and numbing cream is applied if you’d like
A fine needle places small amounts of Xeomin® into specific muscles
Most treatments take 10 to 20 minutes
You can head back to your day right away
We’ll schedule a follow-up about two weeks later to check your results.
What to expect after treatment
Xeomin® takes effect gradually, and most patients can return to normal activities right away.
Small raised spots at the injection sites usually fade within 15 to 30 minutes.
Changes usually appear within a few days, with full results at about two weeks.
Minor bruising or a mild headache can happen but is uncommon and short-lived.
Results typically last three to four months, and many patients book their next visit in advance.

Frequently asked questions
What makes Xeomin® different?
Xeomin® goes through a purification process that removes accessory proteins, so the formula contains only the active ingredient. It relaxes muscles in the same way as other neurotoxins.
How long do Xeomin® results last?
Most patients see results for three to four months. Your provider will recommend a maintenance schedule that suits you.
Will I look frozen?
Not with a thoughtful plan. We dose to soften lines while keeping natural movement, and we can adjust at your follow-up if needed.
Can I switch from Botox® to Xeomin®?
Yes. Many patients switch between products, and we’ll plan your treatment based on how you’ve responded in the past.
