Xeomin® is a prescription medication used to effectively treat intramuscular conditions such as blepharospasm, or abnormal involuntary closing of the eyelid. Xeomin is composed of botulinum toxin type A, a naturally occurring protein that is produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. Xeomin is injected into the affected muscles in order to reduce their activity. Xeomin does not stop the muscle from moving entirely; instead, it modifies the contractions. This is achieved by inhibiting a body chemical called acetylcholine from signaling all of the nerves within the muscle to contract.

Blepharospasm is a condition involving abnormal involuntary spasms of the eyelids. Injections of Xeomin administered into the muscles of the eyelid can help relieve spasms for many patients. The number of injections necessary will vary from patient to patient, depending upon the number of muscles affected and the severity of the condition. The results of treatment with Xeomin are usually seen after one week and last, on the average, up to 12 weeks.

What Are The Risks Of Xeomin Treatment?

While an effective medication for muscle spasms, treatment with Xeomin carries certain risks. Whether they occur hours or weeks after treatment, the following symptoms may be life-threatening and require urgent medical attention:

Difficulty speaking, swallowing or breathing
Muscle weakness throughout the body
Double vision
Blurred vision
Drooping eyelids
Change in voice quality
Problems with articulation
Loss of bladder control

Outstanding Reviews

“Wonderful experience. Dr. Goldman is clearly very experienced and a wealth of knowledge. He spent a lot of time going over my concerns, more than most doctors offer. I felt at ease knowing he has been in the “business” for a long time and is very knowledgeable. Plus— he didn’t push any products on me. You can tell he runs the practice with integrity. 100% recommend.” - Kali-Ray S.

“Goldman Dermatology is conveniently located just outside of World Trade Center and is a clean, organized and friendly office! I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Helen Radoszycski, and she was very thorough, attentive, professional, and helpful. She answered all of my questions and presented a thoughtful, effective plan to address my skin concerns. I would highly recommend her!” - Alison T.

“Dr. Goldman's office is top notch. Beginning with the ease of scheduling, to being seen at the time the appointment was scheduled, to a very friendly and efficient front staff to skilled nursing help, the visit with Dr. Goldman was first rate. He is a skilled, physician who listens well to his patients and really knows his medicine. Can't recommend this practice highly enough. Richard Beck” - Richard B.
