Xeomin® in Baton Rouge & Prairieville, LA: The Pure, "Naked" Wrinkle Relaxer
If you have noticed that your regular neurotoxin injections do not seem to last as long as they used to, or if you prefer a clean, highly purified aesthetic injectable with zero unnecessary additives, Xeomin® is a clinically advanced solution. Known throughout aesthetic medicine as the " naked injectable," Xeomin delivers pure neuromodulation without accessory proteins, eliminating the risk of antibody resistance. At Z Aesthetic Dermatology, we provide physician-led Xeomin in Baton Rouge and Prairieville, LA, tailored to smooth dynamic wrinkles while preserving natural facial mobility.
Under the medical leadership of Dr. Ann Zedlitz, MD, a Board-Certified Dermatologist, Castle Connolly Top Doctor, and nationally recognized Expert Injector™, our clinical aesthetic team specializes in precision neuromodulator dosing. Working alongside Jennifer Holley, FNP-C, and Jerrica Kitto, PA-C, Dr. Z provides diagnostic, VISIA-informed consultations to help you achieve smooth, refreshed, and long-lasting results across our clinics in Baton Rouge and Prairieville.
What Is Xeomin & What Makes It the "Naked Injectable"?
Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved prescription neuromodulator specifically engineered to smooth moderate to severe dynamic facial wrinkles, including frown lines between the eyebrows (11 lines) and horizontal forehead creases. Like Botox Cosmetic and Dysport , Xeomin temporarily inhibits the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, allowing hyperactive facial muscles to relax and overlying skin to smooth out.
However, Xeomin undergoes a specialized, proprietary double-filtration purification process that completely strips away complexing accessory proteins:
Conventional Neurotoxins (Botox & Dysport) │
│ Active 150 kDa Neurotoxin + Accessory Protein Halo │
│ (Proteins may trigger immune antibody resistance) │
vs
Xeomin® Pure "Naked" Formulation │
│ Active 150 kDa Therapeutic Neurotoxin Only │
│ (0% Accessory Proteins • 0% Unnecessary Additives) │
└────────────────────────────────────────
Because Xeomin delivers only the pure therapeutic 150 kDa neurotoxin molecule with no accessory proteins, your immune system does not form neutralizing antibodies against it. This makes Xeomin the cleanest neurotoxin option available for long-term aesthetic maintenance.
The Advantages of Choosing Xeomin
- Zero Unnecessary Additives: Highly purified through double filtration to deliver pure, unencumbered wrinkle-relaxing power.
- Overcomes Neurotoxin Tolerance: The premier choice for patients who experience "Botox resistance" or diminishing results from brand-name neurotoxins over years of treatment.
- Prevents Future Antibody Resistance: Ideal for younger patients beginning early preventative Botox in their 20s and 30s who want to ensure their treatments remain effective for decades.
- Room Temperature Stability: Xeomin does not require chemical refrigeration additives to remain stable prior to reconstitution, reflecting its clean molecular purity.
- Natural, Expressive Results: Delivers smooth, rested facial skin without a stiff, heavy, or "frozen" look.

Treatment Areas: What 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.
