Refreshed, Natural, You
Advanced Xeomin in San Marcos, CA
Do "11s" between your eyebrows make you look more frustrated than you feel? Those deep vertical creases form from years of frowning, concentrating, and squinting, and it's one of the most common signs of aging we notice. Xeomin in San Marcos helps to soften these lines without making you look frozen or overdone.
At The Studio Med Spa, every Xeomin treatment is designed to help you look refreshed and natural. Located on S. Twin Oaks Valley Road, our San Marcos med spa serves clients throughout North County. Xeomin injections are performed by our RN, Amanda Palmer, who evaluates your facial movement, muscle strength, and aesthetic goals before building your individual treatment plan.
The Science
What Is Xeomin?
Xeomin is an FDA-approved neuromodulator that contains incobotulinumtoxinA, a purified form of Botulinum Toxin Type A made by Merz Pharmaceuticals. Xeomin is known as a "naked" injectable because it doesn't contain the accessory proteins that other botulinum toxins carry. Commonly used to treat glabellar lines (the vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows), Xeomin helps to soften lines and other dynamic wrinkles that form from repeated muscle movement.
Once injected, Xeomin prevents the nerve signal from stimulating the muscle, which causes the muscle to relax and the skin above it to smooth out. At The Studio Med Spa in San Marcos, Xeomin treatments are customized to address your specific concerns, whether you're looking to soften frown lines, forehead wrinkles, or other dynamic expression lines. Most patients see softer lines within 3-7 days, and complete results within 2 weeks. The results last for 3 to 4 months, depending on your metabolism, muscle strength, dosage, and age. As your muscle activity slowly returns, we will help you create a maintenance plan to maintain your results.
What Can Xeomin Treat?
Xeomin was first FDA-approved for frown lines in 2011, but its versatility as a neurotoxin has made it a go-to solution for a wide range of aesthetic concerns such as:
Glabella (Frown Lines):
Smooths out the deep "11" lines between your eyebrows.
Forehead Wrinkles: Smooths out horizontal lines created by repetitive brow movement.
Crow's Feet: Reduces the lines that appear around the eyes when you smile or squint.
Bunny Lines: Minimizes the small lines that form on the sides of your nose when you scrunch them.
Jawline: Slims an enlarged masseter muscle, softening a square jaw and relieving teeth grinding (bruxism).
Chin: Smooths out vertical lines and dimples on your chin for a more streamlined look.
Neck Bands:
Smooths out visible vertical bands on your neck.
Benefits of Xeomin
Softens Expression Lines:
Xeomin can reduce the appearance of lines that develop from repeated facial movements, including frown lines between your brows, forehead lines, and crow's feet. As the targeted muscles relax, these lines can appear less pronounced.
Contains No Accessory Proteins:
Xeomin contains fewer foreign proteins, which may reduce the chance of your immune system developing antibodies that can make botulinum toxin treatments less effective over time.
Little Downtime:
Xeomin appointment can take around 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. Most people can return to their usual activities soon after treatment, following their injector's aftercare instructions.
Fully Customizable:
The amount of Xeomin you need depends on factors such as the treatment area, muscle strength, line depth, and your desired outcome. Amanda Palmer, RN, evaluates your facial movement before treatment so your injections can be tailored to your individual needs.
Non-Surgical:
Xeomin smooths dynamic wrinkles without surgery or incisions, helping you achieve a refreshed look while maintaining natural facial movement.

The Process
How Does Xeomin Work?
Xeomin works in three major steps: from injection to naturally smoother skin.
1. Blocks Nerve Signals
Once injected into a targeted muscle, Xeomin temporarily blocks the release of acetylcholine, a chemical messenger that tells your muscles to contract. By interrupting this signal, the treated muscle receives fewer instructions to repeatedly tighten during facial expressions. This effect is temporary and gradually wears off as nerve communication returns.
2. Relaxes Targeted Muscles
With fewer nerve signals reaching the muscle, your targeted area begins to relax. This reduces the repetitive muscle movements that contribute to frown lines, forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, and other dynamic expression lines.
3. Skin Smooths Gradually
As the underlying muscle relaxes, the skin above it has less repetitive movement, allowing existing expression lines to soften. You may begin noticing improvements within 3–7 days, with results continuing to develop over the following days. Full results are generally visible around 2 weeks, although the exact timeline can vary from person to person.

Questions, Answered
Frequently Asked Questions About Xeomin
Straight answers from our clinical team.
What's the difference between Xeomin and Botox?
Both are botulinum toxin type A products that work the same way, by relaxing the muscle behind your wrinkle. The main difference is that Xeomin doesn't contain the accessory proteins found in Botox, so some patients who've developed a resistance to other neuromodulators respond better to it.
Does Xeomin Look Natural?
Yes, Xeomin results look natural. Xeomin relaxes the muscle behind your line, it doesn't shut it down completely, so you can frown, smile, and raise your eyebrows normally. Our aesthetic injector doses conservatively so your result is totally natural.
Can I Switch From Botox to Xeomin?
Yes, you can switch from Botox to Xeomin. Since Xeomin doesn't carry the accessory proteins Botox does, it can be a good option if your Botox results have started fading faster than they used to. We'll review your treatment history during your consultation, before recommending whether a switch is good for you.
Who should not use Xeomin?
We don't recommend Xeomin if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have a neuromuscular condition like ALS or myasthenia gravis. If you're on blood thinners or have an active skin infection near the injection site, we'll talk through timing before treatment. Bring your full medical history to your appointment so we can confirm it's safe for you.
Does Xeomin wear off faster than Botox?
No, both neuromodulators last around three to four months, and most comparison studies show onset, duration, and how satisfied patients feel are in the same range for either product. Where you'll actually notice a difference is more about your own metabolism and muscle strength than which toxin you picked.
Is 20 units of Xeomin the same as 20 units of Botox?
Yes, Xeomin and Botox are dosed on a 1:1 ratio in clinical practice, so 20 units of one is treated as equivalent to 20 units of the other. Individual response still varies a bit from person to person, and Amanda will always dose based on how your specific muscles respond rather than assuming a conversion applies exactly the same way for you.
