Looking for a neuromodulator injection that's as pure as it gets—with no unnecessary additives or complexing proteins? Xeomin is the only "naked" neurotoxin on the market, offering the wrinkle-smoothing benefits of Botox and Dysport without the extra ingredients that can trigger antibody resistance.
At Z Aesthetic Dermatology, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Ann Zedlitz offers expert Xeomin treatments for frown lines, forehead wrinkles, crow's feet, and more. As a top 3% expert injector nationally, Dr. Z uses advanced techniques to deliver natural, precise results that keep you looking like yourself—just refreshed, relaxed, and more youthful.

Ready to discover why patients who care about purity and simplicity choose Xeomin?
What Areas Can Xeomin Treat?
Xeomin is FDA-approved for treating glabellar lines — the vertical frown lines between your eyebrows commonly called the 11 lines. Dr. Z also uses Xeomin off-label for a full range of upper facial concerns, delivering the same wrinkle-smoothing results patients expect from any premium neuromodulator.
Xeomin Lip Flip for a gummy smile
A small amount of Xeomin placed along the upper lip border relaxes the orbicularis oris muscle, gently rolling the lip outward for a fuller, more defined appearance without adding volume. Related Reading: The Lip Flip: Secrets to Effortless, Natural Lip Enhancement Without Filler
Xeomin for Frown Lines (11 Lines)
The "11 lines" between your eyebrows are caused by repeated frowning, squinting, and concentrating—movements that engage the corrugator and procerus muscles. Over time, these dynamic wrinkles become etched into the skin, creating a tired, angry, or stressed appearance even when your face is at rest.
Learn more about 11 lines treatment and how neuromodulators can smooth this common concern.
Xeomin for Forehead Lines
Horizontal forehead lines are another common complaint—these wrinkles form from raising your eyebrows repeatedly over the years. Xeomin can smooth these lines by relaxing the frontalis muscle (the muscle that lifts your brows).
Xeomin for Crow's Feet
Crow's feet—the fine lines that radiate from the outer corners of your eyes when you smile or squint—are one of the most popular treatment areas for neuromodulators.
Xeomin for Bunny Lines
The diagonal wrinkles that appear across the bridge of the nose when you scrunch your face can be softened with precise, low-dose Xeomin injections into the nasalis muscle.
Xeomin for Neck Lift (Nefertiti lift)
Strategic injections along the platysmal bands of the neck and along the jawline create a subtle lifting effect, improving jaw definition and softening vertical neck cords.
Xeomin for Chin dimpling
Overactive mentalis muscle activity causes the chin to appear bumpy or "orange peel" in texture, and Xeomin can relax this muscle to create a smoother, more refined chin contour.
During your consultation, Dr. Z will evaluate your facial anatomy, muscle strength, and aesthetic goals to determine the right treatment areas, dosing, and technique to achieve your results.

How Much Does Xeomin Cost in Baton Rouge?

What Does a Xeomin Appointment at Z Dermatology Actually Feel Like?
One of the most important things to know about Xeomin at Z Aesthetic Dermatology is what it feels like to actually be a patient here. This isn't a quick-turn med spa. It's a dermatologist-led practice where every appointment is designed around your comfort and your goals.
1.
The Consultation
Your appointment starts with a brief consultation. Dr. Z will look at your face, ask what’s bothering you, and talk through your goals. She’ll identify the specific muscles behind your concerns and explain exactly what she recommends — with honest expectations about results. If Botox isn’t the right tool for what you’re seeing, she’ll tell you that too.
2.
The Injections
Using an ultra-fine needle, Dr. Z targets each muscle with precision developed through thousands of procedures. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick pinch — similar to a tiny mosquito bite. Topical numbing cream is available if you’d like it, though most patients don’t need it.
3.
After Your Appointment
There’s no downtime. Most patients go straight back to work, errands, or social plans immediately after. The entire appointment — consultation, treatment, and aftercare instructions — takes 15 minutes or less.
4.
Xeomin Results Timeline
- Day 1–2: No visible change yet. Completely normal.
- Day 3–5: You’ll start to notice the muscles relaxing and lines softening.
- Day 7–14: Full results are visible. This is what your results will look like.
- Month 3–4: Results begin to fade — time to schedule your maintenance appointment.
Dr. Z has spent more than 15 years perfecting her injection technique and has been recognized as a Top 3% Expert Injector nationally. That level of experience matters when you're trusting someone with your face.

How Xeomin Works
Xeomin contains botulinum toxin type A, the same active ingredient found in Botox and Dysport. What makes Xeomin unique is what it doesn't contain: complexing proteins. This is why it is referred to as "The Naked Neurotoxin".
Botox and Dysport are formulated with accessory proteins that surround the active botulinum toxin molecule. These proteins help stabilize the product during manufacturing and storage, but they serve no therapeutic purpose—they don't help the neurotoxin work better or last longer.
In rare cases, the immune system can develop antibodies to these complexing proteins. When this happens, the body may neutralize the neurotoxin before it has a chance to work, leading to reduced effectiveness or complete treatment failure. This phenomenon is called antibody-mediated resistance.
Because Xeomin contains only purified botulinum toxin type A—nothing else—it's often called the "naked" neurotoxin. Without complexing proteins, there's a lower theoretical risk of the body developing antibody resistance over time.
What does this mean for you?
Lower risk of resistance: If you've been using Botox or Dysport for years and notice diminishing results, switching to Xeomin may help.
Ideal for first-time users: Starting with the purest neuromodulator minimizes your exposure to unnecessary proteins from day one.
Xeomin offers the same proven wrinkle-smoothing results as Botox and Dysport, but with a cleaner, simpler formulation. For patients who value purity and want to minimize their long-term risk of treatment resistance, Xeomin is an excellent choice.

Why Xeomin? Understanding the Naked Neurotoxin Difference
Xeomin is often called the naked neurotoxin. That nickname refers to something specific and meaningful: Xeomin contains only purified botulinum toxin type A. Nothing else. Botox and Dysport are formulated with accessory proteins surrounding the active ingredient. Xeomin is not.
Why does that matter to you as a patient? There are two practical reasons:
Lower Risk of Antibody Resistance
When your immune system repeatedly encounters a foreign protein, it can develop antibodies against it. For most patients, this never becomes an issue. But for some long-term neuromodulator users, the body gradually develops resistance — meaning results become shorter or less effective over time. Because Xeomin contains no accessory proteins, there is a lower theoretical risk of this antibody response developing. Patients who feel their Botox or Dysport results have shortened over the years often find Xeomin worthwhile to try.
The Same Results, Purer Formula
Most patients need between 20–30 units for their glabellar lines. The exact number depends on your muscle strength, how deep the lines are, and your aesthetic goals. Dr. Z will assess your specific anatomy during your consultation and provide a personalized dosing plan before treatment begins — no surprises.
Are You a Good Candidate for Xeomin?
Xeomin is a strong choice for a wide range of patients, but it's particularly well-suited to specific situations. Dr. Z assesses every patient individually — your facial anatomy, health history, and treatment goals all factor into whether Xeomin is the right choice for you.
Xeomin May Be Right for You If:
- You want a pure, protein-free neuromodulator formula
- You've experienced diminishing results with Botox and want to try a different formulation
- You're a first-time neuromodulator patient looking for a proven, well-studied option
- You have moderate to severe frown lines (11 lines) between your brows
- You want natural-looking wrinkle reduction without a frozen or overdone appearance
- You're in overall good health with realistic expectations for 3-4 month results
Xeomin May Not Be Right for You If:
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have certain neuromuscular disorders (ALS, myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton syndrome)
- You have an allergy to botulinum toxin products
- You are looking for volume restoration — that's what dermal fillers are for
The best way to know if Xeomin is right for you is a consultation with Dr. Z. She'll review your medical history, evaluate your anatomy, and give you an honest recommendation — even if that means a different treatment is the better fit.
How Long Does Xeomin Last?
Xeomin lasts approximately 3-4 months. Some patients report Xeomin lasting slightly longer (4-5 months) than Botox while others find it comparable to Botox. Duration varies from person to person based on metabolism, muscle activity, dosage, and lifestyle factors (e.g., exercise, sun exposure). The only way to know how long Xeomin lasts for you is to try it and see—but you can generally expect 3-4 months of smooth, wrinkle-free results.
Factors That Affect Duration
- Metabolism — faster metabolism may break down the product sooner
- Muscle activity — high-movement areas or strong muscles may wear off faster
- Dosage — undertreating to save units typically shortens results
- Lifestyle — regular intense exercise and sun exposure may reduce duration
- Treatment history — regular patients often find results extend over time as muscles gradually weaken
When Should You Come Back?
Most patients schedule their next appointment around the 3-month mark, when they notice muscles beginning to move again. Waiting until lines are fully back before retreating means starting the smoothing cycle from scratch. Regular maintenance every 3-4 months gives you the best long-term results.
Xeomin and Botox share the same unit dosing and a similar duration profile. If you're switching from Botox, your timeline expectation is directly transferable.

Xeomin vs. Botox: What's the Difference?
Botox and Xeomin both use botulinum toxin type A. They work the same way, last a similar amount of time, and produce comparable results for most patients. The difference is in the formulation.
When Xeomin is the Better Choice
Xeomin tends to be the right fit when purity is the priority — or when a long-term Botox patient is ready for a change.
- You've been using Botox for several years and feel like your results aren't lasting as long as they used to
- You want a neuromodulator with no accessory proteins — the simplest, most refined formula available
- You're concerned about long-term antibody resistance and want to reduce that theoretical risk
- You prefer a minimalist approach: one ingredient, no additives, the same proven result
- You're curious whether switching formulas will restore the duration you experienced when you first started treatments
When Botox Is the Better Choice
Botox is the right starting point for most first-time patients — and the better fit when you need treatment in areas with the broadest FDA approval.
- You're new to neuromodulators and want the most studied, most clinically documented option available
- You need treatment for crow's feet or forehead lines specifically — Botox holds FDA approval for both, while Xeomin's only FDA-approved cosmetic indication is the 11 lines between your brows
- You've had consistent, predictable results with Botox and have no reason to switch formulas
- Your provider has established your ideal dosing with Botox and you want to maintain that baseline
Both are excellent options in experienced hands. Dr. Z will help you evaluate your treatment history and goals at your consultation — and if you're on the fence, she can walk you through which formulation makes the most sense for where you are in your injectable journey.
Xeomin vs. Dysport and Daxxify: How Do They Compare?
Botox and Xeomin both use botulinum toxin type A. They work the same way, last a similar amount of time, and produce comparable results for most patients. The difference is in the formulation.
Xeomin vs. Dysport
Dysport contains accessory proteins (like Botox) and diffuses more broadly than Xeomin. Broader diffusion can be an advantage for larger treatment areas like the forehead where wider spread is desirable. Dysport also tends to onset slightly faster (2-3 days vs. 3-5 days for Xeomin). Dysport uses a different unit ratio — approximately 2.5 units of Dysport to 1 unit of Xeomin. For patients who want speed and broader coverage, Dysport has the edge. For patients who want precision and purity, Xeomin is the better fit.
Xeomin vs. Daxxify
Daxxify is the longest-lasting neuromodulator available, with results lasting 6-9 months compared to Xeomin's 3-4 months. Daxxify uses a unique peptide-stabilized formula and is FDA-approved for glabellar lines. Patients who want fewer annual treatments often prefer Daxxify; patients who want the purest, most minimal formula prefer Xeomin.
Bottom Line
There is no single best neuromodulator. Dr. Z will help you evaluate your goals, your treatment history, and your anatomy to find the right fit. Many patients have tried multiple
neuromodulators over the years and settled on the one that works best for their body and lifestyle.
