Botox and Xeomin are biological toxins produced by the bacteria known as Clostridium botulinum.  Today, these products are highly purified and synthetically produced.  Botox is the registered name of botulinum made by Allergan, Inc. and Xeomin  is the registered name of botulinum made by Merz Aesthetics.  At The Natural Path,  we only use products made by Allergan and Merz.  In fact, Botox is the most studied medication in the world!

How are Botox and Xeomin Used?


Botox and Xeomin are used to create a very specific and temporary weakness of the muscles treated. Both have been used successfully to treat and reduce the appearance of the following:

  • The 11’s (the deep vertical lines between the eyebrows)
  • “Crows feet”(the lines along the outer edge of the eye)
  • “Bunny lines”(the horizontal lines on the sides of the upper nose)
  • Forehead wrinkles (caused by the muscles used to lift the eyebrows)
  • Unwanted dimpling on chin
  • To elevate corners of mouth 2-3 millimeters to give a more upturned appearance to the corners of the mouth
  • “Brow Lift”  to raise the lateral or medial eyebrows 2-3 millimeters;
  • “Gummy smile” (relaxing the top lip to cover excess gum visibility)
  • Treatment to give the eyes a more wide-open appearance by injecting small amounts in the folds under the eyes
  • To treat excessive sweating in the armpits
  • Migraine headaches
  • Facial spasms
