Xeomin is a type of botulinum toxin injection that is used to treat various medical conditions, such as cervical dystonia, blepharospasm, and chronic migraines. It works by blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions, which can alleviate pain, spasms, and other symptoms associated with these conditions. Xeomin injections are typically administered by a trained healthcare professional and can be customized based on the patient’s specific needs and medical history.
What to Expect from Xeomin Injections
Xeomin injections are typically quick and relatively painless, taking only a few minutes to administer. The injection site may be numbed with a topical anesthetic beforehand to minimize any discomfort. Patients can generally expect to see the effects of Xeomin within a few days to a week after treatment, with results lasting for several months. Depending on the condition being treated, patients may require multiple Xeomin injections over time to maintain the desired effects.
