Skin Concerns? We Can Help
Xeomin is particularly beneficial for patients who want a pure neuromodulator treatment without additional proteins that can sometimes cause treatment resistance. Its “naked” formulation makes it an excellent choice for both first-time patients and those who may have developed reduced responsiveness to other neuromodulators. Xeomin effectively treats dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle contractions, and its unique composition may provide more consistent, predictable results over time. Xeomin can treat:
Dynamic wrinkles and fine lines for smoother, more youthful skin
Forehead lines to create a refreshed appearance
Frown lines between the brows for a more relaxed expression
Crow’s feet around the eyes to reduce signs of aging
Gummy smile for improved facial aesthetics
Advanced treatment areas including lower face and neck

5/5 STARS 
I trust Farzaneh Momeni completely with my skin. She is by far the best clinical aesthetician I’ve ever known. My skin has improved dramatically since I began monthly facials with her. Her treatments are 100% results-driven so if this is what you seek, look no further. Also, the entire Team at West Dermatology are top-notch. They’re always friendly, professional, & helpful, & greet everyone with a smile. 10 Stars all around!
My new regular cosmetic dermatology office. Dr Zubair is amazing and really patient with me. He has helped me over the last year with keloid scar removal, jaw Botox, and full facial acne scar treatment (ultra clear). The office is clean and the nursing/medical assistant staff is accommodating on all levels. I will always recommend this office and Dr Zubair to friends and family.
Most professional and most impressive! The service from the physicians to office staff is superb!
I live in Orange County and drove all the way out to see Dr. Wu because a friend of mine referred him (she had amazing results from her face and neck procedure). Dr. Wu is truly an artist! He made me feel extremely comfortable during my procedure. I was anxious when I got there, but he (and his staff) have such great energy and are so very kind and gentle that you can't help but feel at ease! The office was immaculate and they adhered to covid rules (sanitizing, temp checks, masks). This is my go-to place from now on and Dr. Wu is my go-to guy! Can't wait to see my final results! Thank you Phyllis (pre-op) for being so wonderful and informative! You were so very helpful and kind! I'll definitely be back!
Leysin and the entire team at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology are fantastic. They are professional, caring and communicative. The laser treatment was comfortable, efficient and effective! I highly recommend this practice. I definitely will come back and recommend her and Cosmetic Laser Dermatology to my family and friends.
Dr. Goldman is amazing! I came here for my permanent eyeliner removal (which is not offered anywhere near me), and they are completely removed in just one session. They use a special contact lens to protect your eyes from the laser, and there are no damages to my eyelashes. The healing was also nice and smooth. They have everything you need. I live almost 3 hours away, but it was totally worth the trip. For anyone who is looking to remove their permanent makeup, this is the right place to go :)-
Dr. Butterwick is fantastic, all of her team as well. They make sure your experience is pleasant and painless as possible. My tattoo removal and my injectables look amazing. I highly recommend her for any skin treatment.
Cosmetic Laser Dermatology was recommended to me by my dermatologist. He recommended Dr. Monica Boen. I'm so glad I took his recommendation. Everyone here at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology was super nice and friendly. Very welcoming. I came here for hair removal treatment. I did 4 sessions with Dr. Boen. Dr. Boen made me feel so comfortable and at ease when I talked to her. She explained everything before she did my treatment. I loved that. She was really easy to talk to. I definitely will come back and recommend her and Cosmetic Laser Dermatology to my family and friends.
This office is awesome. My visit today was with Dr. Groff. His bed side manner is so fun and welcoming. He understood my concerns and recommended a treatment plan that I feel was reasonable. I love his staff! They take there time to make sure you understand the treatment and after care. Everyone in the office, from the front desk to the nurses in the back, are so friendly and beautiful. They are very prompt and I trust my care with CLD. I can't wait for my next visit. See you guys in a few weeks!
"Dr. Sabrina Fabi is genius! Her technique is unlike anyone, her eye is precise, and her kindness and caring manner comes from the depth of her soul. She's simply brilliant! It's no wonder people travel the country just to be treated by her."
I wish I could give them 10 stars! I had such an awesome experience for my first visit and I am referring everyone I know to this office. From the super friendly staff to the state of the art procedures, they are the cream of the crop.
“I came to participate in a research study. All of the Doctors and staff at C.L. Dermatology are very professional, warm and friendly. All our my needs were anticipated and the hospitality of this office is like a five star hotel.”
Why Our Xeomin Treatments Deliver Superior Results
Unmatched Clinical Experience
Dr. Goldman and Dr. Fabi were instrumental in conducting multiple FDA studies leading to the approval of Xeomin® over the past 15 years. Our experience with Botox® Cosmetic, Daxxify™, Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau® is unmatched, as we have completed numerous clinical trials on these and other soon-to-be-approved wrinkle treatments at our award-winning research center. We offer every FDA-approved neuromodulator on the market to meet your unique aesthetic goals.
Expert Technique and Advanced Treatment Areas
Our board-certified dermatologists have the skill and expertise necessary to treat advanced areas that other clinics rarely can, such as your lower face, neck, and gummy smile. As national neuromodulator trainers, we’re considered top experts in the field.
"Naked" Neuromodulator Benefits
Xeomin is a “naked” product, meaning that there are no other ingredients besides the botulinum toxin type A. This reduces the risk of a person developing antibodies to the product, making it an excellent choice for those seeking pure, effective treatment.
Quick and Comfortable Treatment
During a treatment, an ultrafine needle is used to inject the appropriate amount of the neuromodulator, which varies depending on your specific needs. The needle is so fine that you will likely feel only a slight pinprick. Treatment takes less than 5 minutes.
No Downtime Required
There is no recovery time necessary after neuromodulator injections, and you’ll be able to return to your normal daily activities immediately. You may experience side effects like mild swelling, redness, tenderness, bruising, and muscle weakness, but these should subside in 7-10 days.

FAQ
Xeomin is a “naked” neuromodulator, meaning it contains only botulinum toxin type A without additional proteins. This pure formulation reduces the risk of developing antibodies to the product and may be ideal for patients who have developed resistance to other neuromodulators.
Xeomin is ideal for men and women noticing lines and facial creases on the forehead and around the eyes due to muscular movement. It’s also excellent for treating frown lines between the brows, crow’s feet, and advanced areas like gummy smile, lower face, and neck treatments.
Treatment with Xeomin is both quick and virtually painless. An ultrafine needle is used to inject the appropriate amount, which varies depending on your specific needs. The needle is so fine that you’ll likely feel only a slight pinprick. The entire process takes less than 5 minutes.
There is no recovery time necessary after Xeomin injections. You’ll be able to return to your normal daily activities immediately. You may experience mild side effects like swelling, redness, tenderness, bruising, and muscle weakness, but these should subside in 7-10 days.
It generally takes about two weeks to see the full effects of your treatment, but you’ll likely see results sooner. By the two-week mark, wrinkles should be visibly reduced, and you will still be able to make natural facial expressions. Results typically last 3-4 months, and you will need to schedule subsequent treatments to maintain your refreshed look.

During your consultation, we’ll discuss the best combination approach for your goals.
While Xeomin, Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau are similar in their anti-aging effects, they each differ in their production methods and ease of dilution. Xeomin’s “naked” formulation makes it unique. During your consultation, we’ll help determine which neuromodulator is best suited for your specific needs and goals.
