The beauty world is changing fast. Remember when stuff like Botox and Xeomin was just for older people? Nope, not anymore! Lots of younger people are getting these treatments to stop aging before it even starts. It’s called “prejuvenation.”
At GC Skin Medspa in Sherman Oaks, more people want natural, not-too-obvious results. If you’re wondering what’s up with this trend, here’s the deal.
So, What Exactly Are Botox and Xeomin?
They’re shots that chill out the muscles that cause lines and wrinkles. Think forehead lines, crow’s feet, and those lines between your eyebrows. At our place, we have two faves:
Botox® – The OG wrinkle relaxer.
Xeomin® – It’s got fewer proteins, so maybe you won’t become resistant to it later on.
Why Younger People Are Into This
Stopping lines before they start. When you make the same expressions all the time, you get lines. Doing this stuff early can keep those lines from getting too deep.
Looking real, not frozen. People don’t want to look fake. Little bits of Botox (called “baby Botox”) or Xeomin can do the trick.
Hello Zoom, selfies, and socials. Being online all the time makes people more aware of how they look. Who wants to see frown lines on a video call?
It’s easier to get and cheaper now. More places are offering these treatments, and they can fit your budget.
Botox vs. Xeomin: What’s the Difference?
| What is the deal? | Botox | Xeomin |
|---|---|---|
| Protein-free | Nope, it's got proteins | Yes, it's the pure stuff |
| When it kicks in | 3–5 days | 3–4 days |
| How long it lasts | 3–4 months | 3–4 months |
| Resistance risk | higher | Lower |
Both work well, but people dig Xeomin if they want something super clean or are worried about it stopping working later.
How to Get the Best Results
- Go to someone who knows their stuff (and your face!).
- Start early and don’t wait for lines to get deep.
- Keep it up – usually every 3–4 months.
