What is Xeomin?

Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) is a botulinum toxin type A made by Merz Aesthetics. Like other toxins it temporarily relaxes the muscles that create dynamic wrinkles — but Xeomin is distinct in its formulation. It is uniquely purified so that only the active neurotoxin remains, free from the complexing (accessory) proteins carried in other botulinum toxins. This is why it is often called the "naked" toxin.

At CANVAS Medical Clinic in George Town, Penang, every Xeomin treatment is planned and administered by an LCP-certified physician. We assess your facial anatomy individually and dose precisely — so you leave looking refreshed and natural, not treated.

Why the "naked" toxin matters

Every botulinum toxin contains the same active molecule. What differs is what surrounds it. Most toxins package the active protein with inactive complexing proteins; Xeomin removes them, delivering only the part that does the work.

The complexing proteins are harmless, but in a small number of people, repeated exposure to foreign proteins over many years can prompt the body to form neutralising antibodies — which can gradually reduce how well a toxin works (a phenomenon called secondary non-response or resistance). Xeomin's protein-free formulation is designed to minimise that theoretical risk, which is why it is often a considered choice for long-term or frequent users. Your physician will discuss honestly whether this is relevant to your history and goals.

  • Only the active neurotoxin — no complexing proteins
  • May lower the theoretical risk of resistance over long-term repeat use
  • The same trusted mechanism and natural results as other toxins
  • A considered option for frequent or long-term toxin users

How it works

  1. Consultation & assessment. Your physician examines your facial muscles at rest and in motion, discusses your goals, and advises whether Xeomin suits your history — including long-term use — and your anatomy.
  2. Marking & dosing. Injection points are mapped to your individual anatomy and dosing is planned precisely. We avoid over-treatment as a principle.
  3. Injection. Very fine needles deliver small amounts of Xeomin to the targeted muscles. Most patients describe minimal discomfort; the procedure takes 15–20 minutes.
  4. Review at 2 weeks. Results develop over three to seven days and are fully visible at two weeks. We offer a review to assess the outcome and make any minor adjustments if needed.

Who it's for

Xeomin may be appropriate if you:

  • Have frown lines, forehead lines or crow's feet that appear with expression
  • Are a long-term or frequent toxin user and prefer a purified formulation
  • Have noticed a previous toxin becoming less effective over time
  • Want a non-surgical brow lift or softening of a heavy brow
  • Are looking to slim or soften a square jaw from masseter hypertrophy
  • Are in good general health with realistic expectations

Xeomin is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or with certain neuromuscular conditions. All contraindications are assessed at consultation.

Xeomin vs other anti-wrinkle brands

CANVAS carries a full range of licensed botulinum toxins, so the choice is clinical rather than limited by what is on the shelf. Xeomin is the purified, protein-free option. Botox is the most studied toxin with decades of data; Dysport offers a faster onset and softer spread; Nabota gives dependable value; Letybo is known for natural results in frown lines.

Which suits you depends on the area, your history with toxins and how your muscles respond. Your physician will recommend — and explain — the right choice at consultation, with pricing confirmed transparently beforehand. Compare all anti-wrinkle brands →

FAQ

Xeomin in Penang, answered.

Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) is a botulinum toxin type A made by Merz. It is uniquely purified so that only the active toxin remains, free from the complexing (accessory) proteins found in other toxins — which is why it is often called the "naked" toxin. It relaxes targeted muscles the same way as other botulinum toxins, softening dynamic wrinkles.
Both are botulinum toxin type A and work the same fundamental way. The main difference is formulation: Xeomin is purified of complexing proteins, leaving only the active molecule. Because there are fewer foreign proteins, some clinicians choose Xeomin to reduce the theoretical chance of the body forming resistance over years of repeat treatment. Your physician will advise which suits you.
The complexing proteins in botulinum toxins are inactive, but in a small number of people repeated exposure to foreign proteins can prompt neutralising antibodies that lessen the effect over time. Xeomin's protein-free formulation is designed to minimise that theoretical risk, which can make it a considered choice for long-term or frequent users. Your physician will discuss whether this is relevant to you.
Xeomin results typically last around three to four months, similar to other botulinum toxins. The effect develops over three to seven days and is fully visible at about two weeks. Maintenance is planned individually.
Xeomin can soften frown lines (the '11s'), forehead lines and crow's feet, and is also used for brow lifting, jaw slimming and other facial areas. Your physician will confirm the right plan for your anatomy at consultation.
