Botox and Xeomin

The Perlman Center is proud to offer two different brands of botulinum toxin, Botox and Xeomin.

How does it work?

When you squint or frown, the muscles between your brows contract, causing the skin to furrow and fold. These lines are referred to as dynamic lines.

Over time, as your skin ages and loses some of its elasticity, these repeated contractions can cause persistent frown lines.

BOTOX® Cosmetic

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein. It is a nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily reduce moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in patients 18 to 65 years of age.

During treatment, very low doses of BOTOX® Cosmetic are administered via a few tiny injections directly into the muscles that cause those stubborn lines between the brows.

Botulinum toxin type A – the active ingredient in XEOMIN® – is used in facial aesthetic treatment to treat dynamic lines like glabellar frown lines. It acts on nerve endings in muscles to prevent muscle fibers from contracting.

By reducing these contractions, XEOMIN® can temporarily reduce the frown lines on your forehead between your eyes.
