Expression lines tend to settle into a few familiar places, especially where your face moves the most. Xeomin® injections can soften certain dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial movements, helping areas on your face look smoother without changing the features that make you look like yourself.
At Daniel Tresley MD in Northbrook, IL, board-certified ophthalmologist Dr. Daniel Tresley is one of only a handful of oculofacial plastic surgeons in the Chicago area. With experience using cosmetic injectables since 1995, he brings specialized knowledge of the delicate expression zone around the eyes, forehead, and mid-face to each treatment.
What Facial Areas Can Xeomin Treat?
Xeomin temporarily reduces muscle activity that contributes to dynamic wrinkles. Rather than adding volume beneath the skin like a dermal filler, it treats lines linked to repeated expressions such as frowning, raising your eyebrows, smiling, and squinting.
Depending on your facial movement and concerns, Xeomin may be used in areas such as:
- Between the eyebrows: Xeomin can soften moderate to severe glabellar lines, often called “11 lines,” that develop with repeated frowning.
- The forehead: Horizontal forehead lines can become noticeable after years of raising your eyebrows. Carefully placed injections may soften these expression lines.
- Around the eyes: Repeated smiling and squinting can contribute to crow’s feet at the outer corners of your eyes. Xeomin may be used in this area when appropriate.
Not every wrinkle is caused by muscle movement, so an evaluation can help determine where Xeomin makes sense for you.
Why Does Injection Placement Matter?
The muscles around your forehead, brows, and eyes work together every time your expression changes. Treating one area can affect nearby muscles, so careful assessment and injection placement matter.
Dr. Tresley’s oculofacial training gives him an in-depth knowledge of the anatomy surrounding the eyes and upper face. He can evaluate your facial movement and determine which areas may benefit from Xeomin injections.
