Forehead lines
Horizontal lines that appear when you raise your eyebrows. Careful dosing smooths them while keeping natural brow movement.
Xeomin® in Boston, MA
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.

If Xeomin® is a good fit, treatment can often happen the same day.

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.
