How many times do you take a selfie and wonder why you look
1) tired
2) frustrated
3) angry
4) and not the you that you are used to seeing in your mirror?
It could be that it’s not your emotions showing but it’s the daily wear and tear of life on your body and face. While we try to make time to do everything we need to do, the person we often put at the bottom of our list is ourselves. That lack of time due to family, job, education and juggling all of that together along with other group activities leave little time for pampering ourselves. (Please don’t put fitness in the pampering category. It’s an essential). The fabulousness of the massage may not last long– ditto with facials. While we love to do a getaway weekend or vacation away to someplace amazing, the “glow” of those events don’t last long either once you are on the treadmill of your life. The question is why should you allow it to show up on your face and body?
You don’t have to. One of the fastest ways of dealing with the visible stressors of life that show up on our face is why I connected with Sabrina Fabi, MD (Board Certified Dermatologist and Dermatologic Cosmetic Surgeon) at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills.
(Yes, she looks that amazing!)
I had a chance to meet Dr. Fabi to ask her about not only improving our appearance in selfie-type photos as well as how to improve our appearance in everyday life. No one wants to look angry or tired when they are fine. The visual impacts how we are perceived and as human beings, we tend to want to look good all the time! One of the things Dr. Fabi recommends is Xeomin! Xeomin is FDA approved for use to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults.
Before and After Xeomin:
Tracy Before and After! (Dramatic change!)
Why use Xeomin when there are other products out there? Because Xeomin is a purified treatment option with the proteins removed!
XEOMIN® is made through a unique precision manufacturing process that isolates the therapeutic component of the molecule and removes the “accessory proteins” that don’t play an active role in treatment. XEOMIN® is a highly purified neurotoxin.

INDICATIONXEOMIN® (incobotulinumtoxinA) is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
XEOMIN® (incobotulinumtoxinA) may cause serious side effects that can be life threatening. Call your doctor or get medical help right away if you have any of these problems any time (hours to weeks) after treatment with XEOMIN:
Problems with swallowing, speaking, or breathing can happen after an injection of XEOMIN if the muscles that you use to breathe and swallow become weak. If these problems are severe, you could die. People with certain breathing problems may need to use muscles in their neck to help them breathe and may be at greater risk for serious breathing problems with XEOMIN.
Swallowing problems may last for several months, and during that time you may need a feeding tube to receive food and water. If swallowing problems are severe, food or liquids may go into your lungs. People who already have swallowing or breathing problems before receiving XEOMIN have the highest risk of getting these problems.
Spread of toxin effects. In some cases, the effect of botulinum toxin may affect areas of the body away from the injection site and cause symptoms of a serious condition called botulism. The symptoms of botulism include: loss of strength and muscle weakness all over the body, double vision, blurred vision and drooping eyelids, hoarseness or change or loss of voice, trouble saying words clearly, loss of bladder control, trouble breathing, trouble swallowing.
Do not take XEOMIN if you: are allergic to XEOMIN or any of the ingredients in XEOMIN; had an allergic reaction to any other botulinum toxin product such as rimabotulinumtoxinB (Myobloc®), onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox®, Botox® Cosmetic), or abobotulinumtoxinA (Dysport®); have a skin infection at the planned injection site.Before you take XEOMIN, tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, including if you have a disease that affects your muscles and nerves (such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease], myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome), as you may be at increased risk of serious side effects including difficulty swallowing or breathing. Tell your doctor if you have: had any side effect from any other botulinum toxin in the past; breathing problems such as asthma or emphysema; a history of swallowing problems or inhaling food or fluid into your lungs (aspiration); bleeding problems; drooping eyelids; plans to have surgery; had surgery on your face. Also tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant (it is not known if XEOMIN can harm your unborn baby); are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed (it is not known if XEOMIN passes into breast milk).
