Wrinkle Relaxers for Men with Xeomin®
Subtle Facial Refresh
Over time, facial expressions begin to leave their mark.
Years of smiling, concentrating, squinting in the sun, and everyday stress can gradually lead to deep forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, and crow’s feet around the eyes. For many men, these expression lines can make the face appear tired, stressed, or more serious than intended.
Today, many men are choosing subtle aesthetic treatments to maintain a confident, refreshed appearance without surgery or downtime.
If you’ve started noticing deeper expression lines, you’re not alone. Wrinkle relaxer treatments can help soften these lines while maintaining natural facial movement and masculine features.
You may relate if:
- Your forehead lines are becoming more noticeable
- You see deeper frown lines between your eyebrows
- Crow’s feet appear when you smile
- People say you look tired or stressed
- You want to look refreshed without looking “overdone”
At Tone & Core in Lakewood Ranch, Florida, wrinkle relaxer treatments for men are performed using Xeomin®, a purified neuromodulator designed to relax targeted facial muscles and soften expression lines.
Xeomin® works by temporarily reducing the muscle activity responsible for wrinkles, helping the skin appear smoother and more relaxed while preserving natural expression.
Dr. Vargas and the clinical team at Tone & Core take a conservative, medically guided approach to aesthetic treatments, focusing on results that look natural, confident, and masculine.
All treatments are performed by appropriately trained and licensed providers in full accordance with Florida regulations governing medical aesthetic procedures and physician supervision requirements.
Located in Lakewood Ranch, we welcome patients from Bradenton, Sarasota, Parrish, Palmetto, Fruitville, Siesta Key, and surrounding Gulf Coast communities.
Reserve your wrinkle relaxer consultation today and discover a refreshed, confident look.
What Is Xeomin®?
Xeomin® is an FDA-approved neuromodulator treatment used to temporarily improve the appearance of facial lines caused by repeated muscle movement.
Over time, expressions such as frowning, squinting, and raising the eyebrows can cause wrinkles to become etched into the skin. Xeomin® works by relaxing the targeted facial muscles responsible for these movements, helping the skin appear smoother.
Unlike some other wrinkle relaxers, Xeomin® is known as a “naked” neurotoxin, meaning it does not contain accessory proteins. This purified formulation allows the active ingredient to work directly on the targeted muscles.
Many patients choose Xeomin® for its precision, purity, and natural-looking results.
The treatment is commonly used to improve:
Forehead lines • Frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) • Crow’s feet around the eyes
Individual results may vary.
Common Treatment Areas for Men
Wrinkle relaxers can be used to treat several areas of the face where expression lines commonly develop.
Common treatment areas include:
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines between the eyebrows (“11 lines”)
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Bunny lines on the nose (off-label)
- Chin dimpling (off-label)
- Jawline tension from clenching (masseter muscle - off-label)
During your consultation, your provider will evaluate your facial anatomy and recommend a treatment plan designed to maintain natural masculine facial structure and movement.
What to Expect During Your Xeomin® Appointment
Step 1: Consultation
Every treatment at Tone & Core begins with a personalized consultation.
Your provider will:
Review your medical history
Evaluate facial muscle movement
Discuss your aesthetic goals
For men, treatment planning focuses on softening expression lines while maintaining natural masculine facial features.
Step 2: Treatment Planning
Your provider will identify the specific facial muscles responsible for the wrinkles being treated.
Injection placement is carefully mapped based on your facial anatomy to ensure balanced, natural-looking results.
Step 3: Xeomin® Injection
Using a very fine needle, small amounts of Xeomin® are injected into targeted facial muscles.
The treatment itself is quick and typically takes 10–20 minutes.
Most patients describe the injections as feeling like small pinches, and anesthesia is usually not required.
Step 4: Muscle Relaxation
After the injections, Xeomin® begins working to temporarily relax the targeted facial muscles.
As muscle activity decreases, the skin above those muscles begins to appear smoother and more relaxed.
The goal is to soften wrinkles while still allowing natural facial expressions.
Step 5: Gradual Results
Results from Xeomin® typically begin to appear within 3–5 days, with full results visible in about 10–14 days.
The effects generally last 3–4 months, after which the muscles gradually regain normal movement.
Many patients schedule periodic maintenance treatments to maintain their results.
Benefits of Wrinkle Relaxers for Men
- Softens forehead lines and frown lines
- Reduces crow’s feet around the eyes
- Maintains natural facial movement
- Quick treatment with minimal downtime
- Helps create a refreshed, well-rested appearance
Wrinkle relaxers are one of the most commonly performed aesthetic treatments because they provide subtle yet noticeable improvements.
The Transformation & Results Many Men Experience
Many men report that wrinkle relaxer treatments help them appear:
- More relaxed
- More approachable
- More refreshed
- More confident
For many patients, the goal is not to look different—but to look like a more rested version of themselves.
Because Xeomin® temporarily relaxes targeted muscles, results appear gradually and feel natural. Most men notice a subtle softening of expression lines within days, with the refreshed look becoming fully apparent in 1–2 weeks. Effects typically last 3–4 months, with many opting for maintenance every 3–6 months to sustain the confident, rested appearance.
Individual results may vary—no guarantees are made.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Xeomin® and how does it differ from other wrinkle relaxers like BOTOX®?
Xeomin® is an FDA-approved neuromodulator (botulinum toxin type A) that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles to soften expression lines. Xeomin® is a purified (“naked”) formulation without accessory proteins, which some patients and providers prefer. The clinical significance of this difference, including any impact on antibody formation or long-term effectiveness, is still being studied. It provides precise, natural-looking results, making it a popular choice for men seeking subtle refinement without a “frozen” appearance.
When compared to the alternative, both are botulinum toxin type A neuromodulators with similar clinical efficacy. Both are safe and effective when used appropriately.
Is Xeomin® safe for men?
Yes—Xeomin® is generally considered safe when administered by trained and qualified medical professionals. It is FDA-approved for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe upper facial lines, including glabellar lines (frown lines), forehead lines, and crow’s feet in adults. At Tone & Core™, we use a conservative dosing approach tailored to masculine facial anatomy to maintain natural movement and avoid over-treatment.
How long does Xeomin® last?
Results typically last 3–4 months, though this can vary based on factors like muscle strength, metabolism, lifestyle, and dosage. Many men schedule maintenance treatments every 3–6 months to keep the refreshed look consistent.
When will I see results from Xeomin®?
Most patients notice initial softening of lines within 3–5 days, with full results appearing in 10–14 days. The effects develop gradually for a natural transition.
Does Xeomin® hurt?
The injections use a very fine needle and feel like quick pinches for most patients. No anesthesia is typically needed, and the procedure is quick (10–20 minutes). Many describe it as far less uncomfortable than expected.
What are the common side effects of Xeomin®?
Side effects are usually mild and temporary, including:
- Redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site (resolves in a few days)
- Mild headache (rare, usually within 24–48 hours)
- Temporary eyelid drooping or asymmetry (uncommon, resolves as effects wear off)
Serious side effects are rare when administered by trained professionals. We discuss all risks during your consultation.
Is there any downtime after Xeomin®?
Minimal to none—most men return to normal activities (including work) immediately. Avoid strenuous exercise, lying down, or rubbing the area for 4–6 hours post-treatment to optimize results and reduce bruising risk.
Will Xeomin® make me look "frozen" or unnatural?
Not with our approach. We specialize in conservative dosing for men, focusing on softening lines while preserving natural expressions, facial movement, and masculine features. The goal is a refreshed, rested look—not obvious change.
How many units of Xeomin® will I need?
Dosing varies significantly based on individual anatomy, muscle strength, and treatment goals.
Typical ranges for men:
- Forehead: 10–30 units
- Frown lines (glabella): 15–30 units
- Crow’s feet: 10–25 units per side
Your provider will assess and recommend during consultation for personalized, balanced results.
Can Xeomin® be combined with other treatments?
Yes—many men combine Xeomin® with other services at Tone & Core™ (e.g., dermal fillers for volume, skin treatments for texture) for comprehensive rejuvenation. We’ll discuss options during your consultation.
Who is not a good candidate for Xeomin®?
Xeomin® may not be suitable if you have certain neuromuscular conditions, allergies to botulinum toxin products, active skin infections at the injection site, or are pregnant/breastfeeding. A full medical history review during consultation ensures safety.
How much does Xeomin® cost?
Pricing is transparent and based on units used (often $10–$15 per unit, depending on area and package). We provide a customized quote during consultation—no surprises.
Is Xeomin® different for men vs. women?
Dosing and placement are often adjusted for men due to stronger facial muscles and different aesthetic goals (e.g., avoiding over-softening). Our physician-led approach ensures results enhance masculine features naturally.
