Patients may start to see results as early as 6 weeks following treatment, as the body begins to eliminate the destroyed fat cells, with optimal results usually seen at 12 weeks.

Botox / Xeomin Treatments
Once injected into the muscle, both XEOMIN and BOTOX Cosmetic begin working. However, their full aesthetic effect may not be seen until 7 to 14 days, or longer, after injection.
The effect of the treatments may last from 3 to 4 months, at which time they will need to be repeated.
One randomized, double-blind study found XEOMIN® worked faster and lasted longer than BOTOX Cosmetic, and that more women saw better effects compared to men. Another double-blind clinical trial by the Journal of Dermatology Surgery found XEOMIN and BOTOX Cosmetic showed similar effectiveness after 4 months.
BOTOX Cosmetic was FDA-approved in 1985, XEOMIN in 2010.
