A new drug has appeared on the market of aesthetic medicine in Ukraine: on March 22, 2017, Xeomin botulinum toxin was presented for the first time. This new generation drug is the most purified among all botulinum toxins, and is a serious competitor to analogue drugs. In an exclusive interview for estet-portal.com, a dermatologist, cosmetologist, director of the Asclepius clinics and «Estimed» Inga Aleksandrovna Voloshina-Andrashko spoke about the purposes for which the new Xeomin botulinum toxin can be used, and what problems can now be solved with the help of this effective drug.
Inga Alexandrovna, why do you think, for many years now, botulinum toxin injections have been the most popular aesthetic procedure?
I think the answer here is obvious. Firstly, this is due to the simplicity of the procedure: it does not take much time, botulinum toxin injection can be performed even at lunchtime. Secondly, the patient does not drop out of social life, because, in almost isolated cases, some kind of hematomas or edema occur. Thirdly, this is a very beautiful and harmonious visual result, which is always seen by both the doctor and the patient. And fourthly, a study was recently conducted where it was proved that the introduction of botulinum toxin into the glabella area improves the psychological state of the patient and even fights depression. Therefore, it is not surprising that botulinum toxin injections are the leaders among aesthetic procedures.
What do you think the appearance of Xeomin botulinum toxin means for the development of aesthetic medicine in Ukraine?
Botulinum Toxin Xeomin – one of the three certified and important botulinum toxins in Europe.
There was not enough Xeomin in Ukraine, because it has been introduced in all European countries for a long time, and in order to keep up and keep up with the times, we needed this drug.
He is unique in several ways.
What, in your opinion, are the main advantages of Xeomin botulinum toxin that distinguish it from analogues?
Firstly, Xeomin Botulinum Toxin from Merz Aesthetics is technologically different because it is the purest botulinum toxin of all. It is devoid of complexing proteins, which, later, can cause immunization of the body. Secondly, it does not require heat treatment, & nbsp; and third, we can administer Xeomin without fear of short intervals. Previously, for fear of a certain immune load and the formation of secondary resistance to botulinum toxin, we had to endure longer periods between injections. With Xeomin, we can not be afraid, as this drug has flexible injection intervals. We can give the patient an additional injection of the drug, and, if necessary, we can give young patients injections in a shorter period, that is, after 3-4 months, and in small doses. With Xeomin botulinum toxin, we can vary not only in the volume of the injected drug, but also in the time of injections.
For which problems is Xeomin botulinum toxin best suited?
Definitely, this drug will be optimal for those people who do not want to get the mask effect that sometimes occurs after injections of other botulinum toxins. That is, it is suitable for those people who want to have a fairly active facial expression, but at the same time, the drug will not allow wrinkles to form.
Xeomin is suitable for young patients who are just starting to receive botulinum toxin injections, as well as for those patients who have already developed immunoresistance to botulinum toxins used for 10-15 years.
And most of all, Xeomin botulinum toxin is suitable for those people who can understand and realize the information that this is the most purified botulinum toxin in the world, and, at the beginning, they will try, and when they are convinced of the effectiveness of the drug – will use it regularly.
