Botox & Xeomin in Littleton, NH ,
Botox/Xeomin is a popular cosmetic treatment that reduces wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. At Mountain Medical Spa and Laser Center, we use these trusted neuromodulators to correct crow’s feet, horizontal forehead lines, and frown lines between the eyebrows, as well as off-label concerns in the lower face and neck such as neckbands and chin dimples. Our team creates personalized treatment plans for a refreshed, natural look.
Request an AppointmentBotox vs. Xeomin: What Is the Difference?
Both Botox and Xeomin are neuromodulators made from purified botulinum toxin, and both deliver dependable, natural-looking wrinkle reduction. Xeomin, often referred to as the “naked injectable,” is a purified form of botulinum toxin free from unnecessary accessory proteins. This distinction reduces the risk of antibody formation, which may sometimes reduce the effectiveness of other neuromodulators over time. Xeomin provides the same dependable outcomes as Botox and is an excellent alternative for people looking for a highly refined treatment option.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
This treatment is ideal for adults who want to maintain a youthful appearance and prevent deeper wrinkles from forming. Whether you are new to neuromodulators or exploring Xeomin for its unique benefits, our team will guide you. Botox/Xeomin pairs beautifully with skin-quality treatments such as clinical facials, microneedling, PRF facials, and CO2 laser skin resurfacing for complete facial rejuvenation.
When Will I See Results?
Results typically become noticeable within 3 to 7 days after treatment, with full effects visible after about two weeks. The effects of both Botox and Xeomin generally last 3 to 4 months, though individual results may vary based on the treatment area, dosage, and your metabolism.
Botox/Xeomin Treatment Areas
Forehead Lines
Botox/Xeomin can reduce horizontal forehead lines, preventing static wrinkles from forming over time and keeping the upper face smoother and more youthful.
Bunny Lines
These neuromodulators address the wrinkles that appear when scrunching your nose, improving existing lines and preventing new ones from deepening.
Crow’s Feet
Injections smooth the lines at the corners of the eyes, softening existing crow’s feet and keeping them from becoming more pronounced.
Scowl Lines or 11’s
Botox/Xeomin reduces the vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows for a smoother, more relaxed look in the brow area.
Lip Flip
A small amount of Botox/Xeomin in the upper lip area reveals more of the pink portion of the lip, creating the appearance of a fuller upper lip.
Dimpled Chin
These neuromodulators smooth the “orange peel” texture on the chin for a more even appearance.
Brow Lift
Botox/Xeomin can gently lift the eyebrows, opening and refreshing the eye area and combating a tired or droopy look.
Masseter (TMJ/Face Slimming)
Higher doses can relax the masseter muscle, potentially easing TMJ-related jaw tension and creating a slimmer facial appearance by reducing the prominence of the jaw muscles.

Botox/Xeomin FAQs
Who is a good candidate for Botox/Xeomin?
Healthy adults over 18 with visible facial wrinkles, or those wanting to prevent them, are good candidates. It is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, those with certain neurological conditions, or individuals allergic to the product ingredients. A consultation will determine if you are a good candidate.

How long do results from Botox/Xeomin last?

Is there any downtime or side effects?
No downtime is required. Minor bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection sites is possible and usually resolves within a few days.
What should I do before and after treatment?
Before treatment, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and vitamin E for about a week, unless your doctor advises otherwise. After treatment, do not rub the treated areas for 24 hours, and avoid exercise, alcohol, and excessive heat for 24 hours.
What can I expect during a Botox/Xeomin treatment?
Your provider will clean the treatment areas, apply topical numbing cream if desired, and inject small amounts of product into specific muscles with a very fine needle. The process takes 15 to 30 minutes, and most patients describe only a slight pinch.
What is the difference between Botox and Xeomin?
Both relax the muscles that cause wrinkles and deliver similar results. Xeomin is free of accessory proteins, which may lower the risk of developing antibodies that reduce effectiveness over time.
