Xeomin in Alton, IL

Medically reviewed by Kaycee Eyers, APRN, Illinois-licensed · Updated October 2026

Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) is the "pure" neuromodulator: the same active botulinum toxin as the other brands, without the accessory proteins. It is $10 per unit at Melange Spa and a strong choice for patients who have used neuromodulators for years or who want the simplest possible formulation.

What makes Xeomin different

Xeomin is manufactured to contain only the active neurotoxin, with the surrounding complexing proteins removed. In practice it works the same way as Dysport, Jeuveau, and Letybo, relaxing the muscles that create frown lines, forehead lines, and crow's feet, but the stripped-down formulation is why some injectors describe it as "naked" botulinum toxin.

Why patients choose Xeomin

Because it carries no accessory proteins, Xeomin is often recommended for long-term neuromodulator users and for patients who feel a previous brand has become less effective over time. It also does not require refrigeration before it is mixed, which is a storage detail, not a results difference. Onset is typically within a few days with full results around two weeks, and duration is in the usual three-to-four-month range.

Xeomin pricing

Xeomin is $10 per unit, with Xeomin units dosed one-to-one with Botox-type units, so the unit ranges in our Botox cost guide apply directly. Your provider confirms the units for your plan, and the total, at your consultation. For a side-by-side look at all four brands we carry, read our neuromodulator comparison.

Who is a good candidate?

Most healthy adults bothered by dynamic lines, the forehead creases, frown lines (the "11s"), and crow's feet that show when you move your face, are good candidates. Neuromodulators are generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for people with certain neuromuscular conditions. We review your history at your visit to confirm it is a safe fit.

What to expect at your appointment

A neuromodulator visit takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Your provider maps the muscles you want softened, cleans the area, and places a series of small injections; most patients describe a quick pinch, and numbing cream is available. Afterward, stay upright for a few hours and skip heavy exercise that day. Results begin in a few days, peak at about two weeks, and typically last three to four months. All injections at Melange Spa are performed by licensed medical professionals: Kaycee Eyers, APRN or aesthetic injector Kim Dunakey, RN, BSN, RNFA, NC-BC, never a technician.

Aftercare and side effects

The most common side effects are temporary: minor redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, and occasionally a mild headache. Serious complications are rare and far less likely in experienced medical hands. Skipping blood thinners, alcohol, and fish oil for a day or two before your visit reduces bruising. We review aftercare with you and stay available between visits.
