Frown lines form when facial expressions are made as the muscle under the skin contracts. Over time, as your skin ages, these repeated expressions cause permanent frown lines. Neurotoxins, such as XEOMIN^®, are prescription medications that block the release of chemicals that cause these muscle contractions, so that frown lines are temporarily softened or eliminated.

Xeromin^® is the brand name for incobotulinumtoxinA, a therapeutic muscle-relaxing agent. It is FDA approved to treat severe frown lines between the eyebrows.

For optimum results, many patients choose to use Xeomin^® in conjunction with a facelift and/or laser skin resurfacing. For furrows and wrinkles that are caused by loss of volume rather than muscle activity alone, Dr. Sato provides BOTOX^®, Juvéderm^® XC, Juvéderm^® Voluma™ XC, Radiesse^®, Belotero Balance^®, Restylane^®, Restylane^® Silk^®, and Restylane^® Lyft^®, dermal fillers that restore volume.
