Xeomin Treatment in Redondo Beach & Costa Mesa

Welcome to Beauty Cult in Redondo Beach and Costa Mesa, where we offer Xeomin — a purified, "naked" botulinum toxin treatment built for patients who want the simplest possible formulation. Our goal is to soften the wrinkles caused by repeated expression, without unnecessary additives.

With Xeomin, we're dedicated to giving you a precise, natural-looking refresh using a product stripped down to just its active ingredient. As a trusted hub for advanced injectable treatments, we invite you to explore the benefits of Xeomin in our serene and welcoming South Bay and Orange County practices.

What is Xeomin?

Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A injectable that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. What sets Xeomin apart is its manufacturing process: the complexing proteins that surround the active toxin molecule in some other products are removed, leaving what's often called a "naked" formulation.

Xeomin is most commonly used to treat the vertical frown lines between the brows, forehead lines, and crow's feet. A consultation with Dr. Clara Yu is recommended to determine whether Xeomin is the right neuromodulator for your goals.

How Does It Work / How Does It Compare to Others?

Xeomin works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that tell specific facial muscles to contract, the same way other neuromodulators do — with one key difference in its formulation.

First, Xeomin is injected directly into the targeted muscle using a very fine needle, with treatment typically taking only 10 to 20 minutes.

Second, the botulinum toxin blocks the nerve signal that causes that muscle to contract, relaxing the muscle and softening the skin above it.

Because Xeomin's formulation removes the accessory complexing proteins found in some other botulinum toxin products, some clinicians believe it may carry a lower theoretical risk of the body developing resistance to treatment over time, which can be a consideration for patients using neuromodulators regularly.

What are the Benefits of Xeomin?

Xeomin offers benefits that appeal specifically to patients who want a streamlined, minimal-ingredient treatment option. Because it contains only the active botulinum toxin molecule, some patients and providers consider it a good option for long-term, repeated use.

One of the most significant benefits of this treatment is its precision. It aids in:

  • Softening frown lines, forehead lines, and crow's feet with precise targeting.

  • Delivering natural-looking results without an overly "frozen" appearance.

  • Using a "naked" formulation with no accessory complexing proteins.

  • Potentially lower theoretical risk of developing resistance with repeated use.

  • Stable at room temperature, unlike some other neuromodulators.

  • Minimal downtime, with most patients returning to normal activities right away.

Before & Afters

xeomin

Does Xeomin hurt?

Most patients feel only a brief, mild pinch during injection. The needle used is very fine, and no anesthesia is typically required.

How is Xeomin different from Botox?

All three are botulinum toxin type A products, but Xeomin is manufactured without the accessory complexing proteins found in Botox and Dysport, resulting in a purified, "naked" formulation some providers believe may lower the theoretical risk of treatment resistance over time.

How long does Xeomin last?

Results typically last 3 to 4 months, similar to other neuromodulators, though this can vary based on metabolism and the area treated.

How much does Xeomin cost?

Xeomin is priced per unit. Exact pricing depends on the areas treated and will be discussed during your consultation with Dr. Yu.

Is Xeomin safe?

Yes. Xeomin is FDA-approved and has been extensively studied. You can typically return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
