Xeomin® has recently been approved as a new botulism toxin for wrinkle relaxation. It is approved for use in 20 countries. Like other drugs in this category, Xeomin works by paralyzing wrinkles. It blocks the signals from the nerves to the muscles. As a result, the targeted muscle cannot contract.
It takes about 1 week to see the full effects of Xeomin® and the results last from three to six months. It is manufactured by Merz Pharmaceuticals, the maker of the facial filler Radiesse.
