Before & Afters
Your best look is coming into focus
Expression is your superpower — the way you convey joy, surprise and contemplation. Yet over time, repeated facial movements leave their mark as permanent lines even when your face is at rest. Xeomin treatments at Pure 111 can soften these signs of aging without compromising your ability to show emotion, creating a refreshed appearance that is still authentically you.
Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) is a highly purified neurotoxin that temporarily improves the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. Unlike some competitors, Xeomin contains only the therapeutic component of the botulinum toxin without unnecessary proteins or additives, making it what medical professionals often refer to as a “naked injectable.” When skillfully administered by our trained injectors at Pure 111, Xeomin delivers precise relaxation of targeted facial muscles while preserving your natural expressiveness.
Every time you wink, frown or smile, your brain sends signals through nerve endings to specific facial muscles, allowing you to express yourself. Over decades of making these expressions, the repeated muscle contractions gradually etch lines and wrinkles into your skin.
Xeomin works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that trigger muscle contractions in treated areas. The active ingredient in Xeomin — botulinum toxin type A — prevents the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for signaling muscle movement. When injected into specific muscles, Xeomin creates a controlled relaxation effect that smooths existing wrinkles and prevents new ones from forming while the treatment remains active.
Xeomin is a purified form of botulinum toxin with no additives or accessory proteins. This makes it a “clean” neurotoxin compared to other brands, which contain a complex mixture of proteins that act as stabilizers. In some people, these proteins can cause an allergic reaction and increase the likelihood of antibody resistance, gradually making treatments less effective.
Over time, repeat exposure to neurotoxins containing complexing proteins can cause some patients to experience a decrease in treatment response and less satisfaction with their results. They may also need higher doses at more frequent intervals. With no accessory proteins or additives that can trigger antibody resistance, Xeomin sees no similar wane in efficacy.
Many patients report that Xeomin takes effect more quickly than Botox, kicking in one to three days after treatment. This can be particularly beneficial for those preparing for a special event. The quicker action doesn’t compromise longevity — Xeomin still delivers results that last as long as other neurotoxins before gradually wearing off, typically after three to four months.
Xeomin excels at treating dynamic wrinkles — those caused by repeated muscle movement — particularly in the upper face. The FDA has specifically approved Xeomin for treating glabellar lines, the vertical frown lines that appear between your eyebrows. Sometimes called “11s” due to their appearance, these lines can make you look angry or worried even when you’re feeling perfectly content. At Pure 11, our skill providers also use Xeomin to treat the following:
At Pure 111, we believe that exceptional results begin with a personalized approach. Your Xeomin treatment journey starts with a comprehensive consultation where we discuss your concerns, goals and medical history. Our team takes the time to understand not just what you want to change, but why — allowing us to create a treatment plan that’s uniquely yours.
We recognize that each face moves differently and forms wrinkles in distinctive patterns. Your treatment will be customized to address your concerns while preserving your natural expressions. Our approach focuses on achieving a refreshed look that never looks “overdone.”
The injection process itself is quick, typically lasting just 15-20 minutes. Our providers use precise techniques to target only the muscles causing unwanted lines. Each injection takes just a few seconds to complete and treatments are well-tolerated by most patients. For a more comfortable experience, ice or topical numbing may be applied first. Afterward, you’ll be able to return home and resume all normal activities with absolutely no recovery or downtime.
Anti-wrinkle treatments like Xeomin require no specific recovery period. However, our team will provide you with aftercare instructions to ensure the best possible results, such as refraining from intense physical activity for the next 24 hours, avoiding excessive heat and resisting the urge to touch or massage your face to prevent unwanted migration of the neurotoxin.
The muscle-relaxing effects of Xeomin develop over several days as it works to block nerve signals. You’ll likely notice initial changes within three to four days, with your full results emerging after two weeks. Improvements typically last for up to four months and treatment can be repeated as needed to help you maintain smooth, wrinkle-free skin year round.
While Xeomin excels at addressing dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement, it can be integrated into a broader treatment strategy for more comprehensive results. At Pure 111, we often combine Xeomin with dermal fillers, lip fillers and other professional skincare treatments.
Dermal fillers work well alongside Xeomin to address static wrinkles and volume loss. While Xeomin smooths away expression lines, fillers correct facial hollowing and sagging contours. This combination approach — sometimes called a “liquid facelift” — can provide remarkable, natural-looking results without the risks or downtime associated with invasive surgery.
Professional skincare treatments such as chemical peels, microneedling or lasers can further enhance your results by improving skin texture and tone. During your consultation, our team can recommend the best combination of treatments for achieving your aesthetic goals.

Xeomin results typically last for three to four months for most patients. However, this timeframe can vary based on several factors, including your metabolism, the area treated, the amount of product used and your individual response to the treatment. Some patients who receive regular Xeomin treatments may gradually notice their results lasting longer as the targeted muscles become “trained” to relax. During your consultation at Pure 111, we can provide a more personalized timeline based on your specific circumstances and treatment goals.
The “frozen” look associated with anti-wrinkle injectables typically results from overtreatment or improper technique, not from the specific product used. At Pure 111, we focus on achieving natural-looking results that never look stiff or overdone. We precisely target only the muscles causing unwanted wrinkles without compromising your natural expressiveness. Our goal is for others to notice that you look more refreshed without being able to pinpoint what’s changed!
Unlike dermal fillers, which can be dissolved with an enzyme, there is no way to reverse the effects of Xeomin or other neurotoxins once injected. This underscores the importance of choosing an experienced provider who understands facial anatomy and uses precise injection techniques. At Pure 111, our providers take a conservative approach to ensure natural-looking results. If you’re concerned about your first neurotoxin treatment, we may recommend starting with a lower dose to gauge your response. Rest assured that even if you’re unhappy with your results, they will naturally wear off within four months as your body metabolizes the product.
For optimal results before an important event like a vacation or wedding, we recommend scheduling your Xeomin treatment two to three weeks in advance. This timeline allows the product to take full effect and gives any potential bruising or swelling time to completely resolve. While Xeomin often begins working within one to three days, allowing extra time ensures you’ll look your best when it matters most. If you’re new to neurotoxin treatments, consider scheduling your first injection even further in advance so there’s time for any adjustments if needed.
You’ll know Xeomin is working when you notice a reduction of expression lines and wrinkles. For example, if you’ve treated frown lines, you’ll find it more difficult to create deep creases between your eyebrows. However, you should still have some movement — the goal is to soften your appearance, not freeze it. Full results typically develop about two weeks after treatment. At Pure 111, we schedule a follow-up with every new neurotoxin client two weeks post-treatment to ensure they are 100% satisfied with their results!
