Refresh, Restore, and Glow with Botox Treatments in Columbus, Ohio
At Gold Bar Aesthetics, our experienced providers deliver natural-looking results tailored to your features, so you leave looking refreshed, never overdone.
What is Xeomin?
Xeomin is an FDA-approved injectable, similar to Botox, that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles to smooth fine lines and wrinkles caused by repetitive movement. It’s made from a “naked” form of botulinum toxin type A, meaning it contains no added proteins, which some clients prefer for its purity and may result in a lower risk of building resistance over time.
At Gold Bar Aesthetics in Columbus, Ohio, we offer Xeomin as an alternative to Botox so you can choose the neurotoxin that best fits your needs. Our experienced providers will help you decide which option is right for you during your consultation.
How Does Xeomin Work?
Xeomin contains a purified form of botulinum toxin type A that temporarily blocks the nerve signals telling specific facial muscles to contract. Without those signals, the muscles relax, softening the dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive movement, like frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet. Unlike some other neurotoxins, Xeomin is formulated without accessory proteins, so it’s sometimes referred to as a “naked” injectable.
At Gold Bar Aesthetics in Columbus, Ohio, our experienced providers assess your unique muscle movement and facial anatomy before injecting, so Xeomin relaxes the right areas with precision. Results typically build over several days and last three to four months, giving you smoother, natural-looking skin that still moves and expresses.

Frequently Asked Questions About Xeomin
How is Xeomin different from Botox?
Xeomin and Botox both use botulinum toxin type A to relax targeted muscles, but Xeomin is a “naked” formula, meaning it contains no accessory proteins. Some clients prefer this for its purity, and it may lower the risk of the body building resistance to the treatment over time.
How long does Xeomin take to work?
Most clients start to see results within a few days, with full effects developing over about two weeks. We recommend scheduling your treatment at least two weeks before any special event.
How long does Xeomin last?
Results typically last three to four months, though this can vary based on your metabolism, muscle strength, and the area treated. Many clients return every few months to maintain their results.
Is Xeomin painful?
Xeomin injections involve only minor discomfort, often described as a quick pinch. Sessions are quick, typically taking just 10–15 minutes, and most clients don’t need numbing beforehand.
Will Xeomin make my face look frozen?
No. At Gold Bar Aesthetics, our providers use a customized, conservative approach that relaxes targeted muscles while preserving your natural expressions, so your results look refreshed, not frozen or overdone.
What areas can Xeomin treat?
Xeomin is commonly used for forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, and crow’s feet around the eyes. It can also help with other concerns depending on your goals, which we’ll discuss during your consultation.
Is there any downtime after Xeomin?
There’s little to no downtime, and most clients return to normal activities right after treatment. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and lying down for a few hours following your appointment.
