What to Expect from Botox & Xeomin: A Beginner’s Guide at Sedora Med Spa

If you’re considering cosmetic injectables for the first time, it’s completely normal to have questions. Botox and Xeomin are two of the most popular non-surgical treatments available today, known for their ability to soften fine lines and refresh your appearance with minimal downtime. At Sedora Med Spa, we specialize in customized, natural-looking results and are proud to be a trusted destination for injectables in White Plains.

What Are Botox and Xeomin?

Botox and Xeomin are FDA-approved neuromodulators derived from botulinum toxin type A. They work by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles - lines formed by repeated facial expressions such as frowning, squinting, or raising your eyebrows.

Common treatment areas include:

•           Forehead lines

•           Frown lines (between the eyebrows)

•           Crow’s feet around the eyes

•           Bunny lines on the nose

•           Chin dimpling

•           Neck bands

While Botox has been used safely for decades, Xeomin is a newer option that contains only the active ingredient, without additional proteins. This “naked” formulation may be beneficial for patients who want a more purified injectable option.

Botox vs. Xeomin: What’s the Difference?

Both Botox and Xeomin are highly effective and produce similar results, but there are subtle differences:

•           Botox includes accessory proteins and has a long track record with consistent results.

•           Xeomin contains no added proteins, which may reduce the risk of developing resistance over time.

During your consultation at Sedora Med Spa, your provider will help determine which injectable is best suited for your facial anatomy, goals, and treatment history.

What Is the Treatment Like?

Botox and Xeomin treatments are quick and minimally invasive. The appointment typically takes 15-30 minutes from start to finish.

What you can expect:

•           The treatment area will be cleansed

•           A very fine needle is used to administer precise injections

•           Discomfort is minimal and usually described as a small pinch

No anesthesia is required, and most patients return to work or daily activities immediately after their appointment.

When Will You See Results?

Results are not immediate, which is important for first-time patients to understand.

•           Initial effects may appear within 3-5 days

•           Full results typically develop within 7-14 days

Wrinkles will gradually soften, leaving your face looking smoother and more refreshed - without looking frozen.

How Long Do Botox and Xeomin Last?

Results generally last about 3 to 4 months. With consistent treatments, some patients find their results last longer over time as the treated muscles become less active. We often recommend maintenance appointments to help preserve your results year-round.
