Botox / Xeomin After-care
Your results don't just depend on the Botox-it's what you do after that matters too.
Following your physician's aftercare instructions is key to getting the smooth, natural results you're wanting. Things like staying upright, avoiding workouts, and not touching the area all play a big role in how your Botox settles. See the graphic below for reminders of what to do after your treatment session at The Refinery on Lake Guntersville with Dr. Mark Christensen.
Trust the process, listen to your doctor, and let the results speak for themselves.

Xeomin vs. Botox
When we say “Botox,” we don’t always mean the name-brand neurotoxin Botox— it’s just become a common name used for all toxins, like Bandaid instead of “adhesive bandages.” As of this post, there are 6 FDA approved toxins in the US.
What neurotoxins do I prefer to use for my patients? Base on the science and the results I’ve seen first hand, I can tell you Xeomin and Botox work the best. But what is Xeomin?
Xeomin (pronounced Zee-Oh-Men)
Xeomin is a purified, FDA-approved injectable used to smooth fine lines and wrinkles by relaxing the facial muscles that cause them
Unlike other neurotoxins, Xeomin is known as the "naked" injectable—meaning it contains no added proteins. This can make it a great option for clients who may have built a resistance to other treatments over time or want a more purified formula.
Most commonly, Xeomin is used to treat areas like:
Forehead lines
Frown lines (11s)
Crow's feet
Treatments are quick (usually 10-20 minutes), with minimal downtime. You may start to see results within 3-4 days, with full results in about 7-10 days. Results typically last around 3-4 months.
At the end of the day, Xeomin delivers smooth, natural-looking results while still allowing you to express yourself—just with softer lines and a refreshed appearance.
