Xeomin in Miami Beach — the purest neuromodulator, expertly placed.

A clean, additive-free anti-wrinkle treatment from a University of Miami-trained nurse practitioner who personally performs every injection.

Kelly Wolfe, MSN, FNP-BC is one of the few injectors in Miami-Dade who treats neuromodulator choice as a clinical decision, not a product menu. Xeomin — the only major U.S. neuromodulator with no accessory proteins — is the one she reaches for when a patient wants the cleanest available formulation, when a previous brand has stopped working, or when sensitivity history calls for it.

Why Miami Beach patients are asking specifically for Xeomin.

Five years ago, most patients walked in asking for "Botox" — using the word as a generic. That's changing fast in Miami Beach, where an increasingly educated patient base is starting to ask for the right molecule, not just the most famous brand.

Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) is the cleanest neuromodulator on the U.S. market. It contains a single active ingredient — purified botulinum toxin type A — and nothing else. No complexing proteins. No accessory proteins. Just the molecule that does the work.

That matters for three kinds of Miami Beach patients in particular:

  • The patient whose Botox “stopped working.” A small but real percentage of long-term neuromodulator users develop antibodies to the complexing proteins in conventional formulations. The injection still happens, but the effect is muted or absent. Switching to Xeomin — which has no complexing proteins to trigger antibody response — often restores the full result without any other change to the plan.
  • The wellness-forward, ingredient-conscious patient. The same person reading labels on her skincare, her supplements, her olive oil, and her natural wine list also wants to know exactly what is being injected into her face. Xeomin’s single-ingredient profile is the cleanest answer that exists in the neuromodulator category — and that’s why so many of our SoFi, Sunset Harbour, and Mid-Beach patients now request it by name.
  • The patient with a sensitivity history. Patients with multiple drug or environmental sensitivities sometimes report fewer side-effect quirks (mild headache, vague malaise the day after injection) when switched from a complex formulation to Xeomin. The data isn’t definitive, but the clinical pattern is consistent enough that Kelly often suggests Xeomin first for these patients.

Pure incobotulinumtoxinA, nothing else.

Botox and Dysport are botulinum toxin type A surrounded by accessory proteins — the proteins protect the active molecule in the vial, but they also give the immune system something to recognize. Over time, in some patients, that recognition becomes an antibody response that neutralizes the drug.

Xeomin removes the accessory proteins entirely through a purification process unique to its manufacturer, Merz Aesthetics. The molecule that arrives at your muscle is the same active toxin — without the surrounding cargo.

What Xeomin treats — and how it behaves on a Miami Beach face.

Xeomin works on the same dynamic wrinkles as the rest of the toxin category: lines that appear when you make a facial expression and soften when you don't. The difference is in onset, finesse, and how it settles.

Common Xeomin treatment areas:

  • Glabellar lines (the “11s”): Xeomin’s original FDA approval was for the glabella, and this remains its strongest indication. The result tends to look clean and uniform across the brow.
  • Forehead lines: A conservative Xeomin dose can soften horizontal forehead lines while preserving natural eyebrow expression — important for a city where most patients work in front-facing roles (real estate, hospitality, finance, content).
  • Crow’s feet: The lateral canthal lines respond well to Xeomin, with a smooth, gradual onset that lets patients ease into the new look rather than seeing an abrupt change.
  • Bunny lines, lip flip, gummy smile: Smaller, precision-dose areas where Xeomin’s clean formulation gives a refined finish.
  • Masseter (jaw slimming & TMJ relief): A great application — Xeomin’s longer onset is irrelevant for masseter treatment, where results emerge over weeks anyway, and many patients prefer the cleaner formulation for the larger doses required here.
  • Platysmal bands (neck): The vertical bands that become visible on the neck with age respond well to a Xeomin “Nefertiti lift” approach.

Xeomin’s onset runs 4–6 days with full effect at day 14 — roughly comparable to Botox, slightly slower than Dysport. The settled finish is what most Miami Beach patients describe as “soft”: the muscle is relaxed but the face doesn’t read as immobile. For patients who have ever felt that another neuromodulator looked “obvious” on them, Xeomin’s gradual settle is often a quiet preference upgrade.

Xeomin vs. Botox vs. Dysport — a Miami Beach injector's honest take.

All three are FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A. The marketing makes them sound interchangeable. Clinically, they aren't — and the choice should be made by an injector who has placed all three regularly, not chosen by a patient based on a price chart.

Neuromodulator Profile Strongest case for using it
Xeomin No carrier proteins · onset 4–6 days · precise spread · “naked tox” Antibody resistance to other tox brands, sensitivity history, preference for cleanest formulation, masseter, glabella.
Botox Cosmetic Carrier-protein formulation · onset 5–7 days · contained spread The reliable, well-studied standard. Precision indications where contained spread is useful.
Dysport Carrier-protein formulation · onset 2–3 days · wider diffusion Broad forehead surfaces; patients who want the fastest visible onset.
Kelly’s clinic stocks all major neuromodulators because each one has a clinical niche. If Botox has been getting weaker over your last several rounds, the answer is usually Xeomin — not more Botox. If you’re a new patient asking which to start with, the answer depends on your treatment area, your skin history, and your goals. The consultation is where that decision gets made together.

How much does Xeomin cost in Miami Beach?

Xeomin in Miami Beach typically runs $12 to $16 per unit. Most treatment plans use 20–60 units total, putting a single appointment between roughly $240 and $960 depending on the muscles addressed.

Average dosing by area for reference — your plan will be calibrated to your face during consultation:

  • Glabella (the 11s): 20 units (the FDA-studied dose; Xeomin’s original indication)
  • Forehead (horizontal lines): 8–20 units, conservative to preserve brow movement
  • Crow’s feet (per side): 8–14 units
  • Bunny lines: 4–6 units
  • Lip flip: 4–6 units
  • Masseter (jaw slim / TMJ): 20–30 units per side — Xeomin is a strong pick here given the larger total dose
  • Platysmal / neck bands: 25–60 units total

A note on Miami Beach pricing in particular. Xeomin is often priced $1–$3 per unit below Botox at the same practice — that’s a manufacturer-market reality, not a quality difference. Wildly cheap quotes anywhere in the city (think $7–$9/unit) usually signal heavily diluted reconstitution, which means you’re not actually getting the dosing you’re paying for. Transparent injectors price per unit and share the dosing plan in writing before any needle comes out. That’s how the math is supposed to work.

Who Xeomin is — and isn't — for.

Most healthy adults aged 18–75 with dynamic wrinkles are candidates for Xeomin. Kelly will confirm fit during your consultation. Xeomin is not recommended for:

  • Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Patients with neuromuscular disorders (myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton syndrome, ALS)
  • Patients with an active skin infection at the planned injection site
  • Patients with a known allergy to botulinum toxin or to any Xeomin ingredient
  • Patients currently on aminoglycoside antibiotics or certain muscle relaxants — these can amplify Xeomin’s effect

One important distinction on formulation: Xeomin contains no complexing or accessory proteins. Patients with specific allergy histories — including albumin-related sensitivity — should disclose them in full at consultation, along with any history of reactions to other neuromodulators. Always disclose your full allergy history at consultation.

The neighborhoods we treat from South of Fifth.

South Florida Face and Body sits in Suite 414 at 1000 5th Street, at the southern tip of Miami Beach. From SoFi, Kelly draws Xeomin patients across the barrier islands, across the causeway to mainland Miami, and from as far south as Key Biscayne.

Service area & drive times

Kelly’s office sits at the southern tip of Miami Beach — close enough to be reachable from Brickell in under 10 minutes via the MacArthur Causeway, and a short hop up Collins from Mid-Beach, Surfside, and Bal Harbour.

The geography matters because Dysport planning isn’t only about your face — it’s about your week. A Mid-Beach patient who walks the boardwalk every morning may need a different forehead dose than a Brickell patient working in air-conditioned offices. A Bal Harbour patient with grandchildren on their lap may want to preserve more forehead expressiveness than a Sunset Harbour young professional preparing for a runway week. We plan dosing, diffusion patterns, and treatment timing around the life you actually live in this city.

Your Xeomin appointment, step by step.

A Xeomin appointment runs about 30 minutes. The injection itself is roughly five. The rest of that time — the treatment-history review, the facial analysis, the conversation about what you actually want — is the part patients tell us they value most.

  1. Consultation & treatment-history review. Kelly asks what previous tox you’ve had, where, how it behaved, and how long it lasted. If you’ve felt a brand was “wearing off faster,” she’ll ask the questions that determine whether antibody resistance is in play and whether Xeomin specifically should be your next step.
  2. Facial analysis in motion. Kelly studies your face at rest, mid-expression, and in full animation. She maps the muscles she’s planning to address, flags any asymmetry, and shows you what realistically improves with Xeomin and what doesn’t.
  3. Dosing plan + transparent pricing. Per-unit, in writing. You see the entire plan before any needle comes out — and your invoice reflects exactly what was used.
  4. Injection. 32-gauge needle, ice for sensitive areas, photographs for your chart. Most patients describe each injection as a quick pinch. Five minutes from first to last.
  5. Aftercare brief. No lying flat for 4 hours, no exercise the rest of the day, no facials for 48 hours, no alcohol for 24. You’ll leave with Kelly’s direct contact information so you can reach out personally with any post-treatment questions.
  6. Two-week settle check. Photos and any refinement, included with your appointment. Xeomin tends to settle gradually, so this two-week mark is when you and Kelly both see the full result and decide whether anything needs a touch.

Why Miami Beach patients switch to Kelly.

Patients arrive at South Florida Face and Body from across Miami-Dade for a specific kind of injection experience — one where neuromodulator selection is a clinical conversation, not a checkout step. In a city saturated with high-volume practices, the difference is direct, personal, and consistent care from the same provider every visit.

Kelly Wolfe is a Florida-licensed Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN #11005134) and board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC), credentialed by the American Nurses Credentialing Center. She holds a Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Miami, plus a Master’s in Biochemistry from Missouri State University, where her graduate research focused on metabolism and the role of leptin and appetite-suppressing hormones. That biochemistry training is especially relevant for Xeomin: the conversation about complexing proteins, antibody response, and clean-formulation pharmacology lives more comfortably with an injector who reads the molecular literature than one whose training stopped at injection technique. She is also a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner.

And she owns the practice. The person you book with is the person who treats you — every visit, start to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from Miami Beach patients. If yours isn't covered here, Kelly is happy to answer it directly — just text or call.

What is Xeomin and how is it different from Botox?

Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A neuromodulator. The key difference: Xeomin is the only major U.S. neuromodulator that contains only the active toxin molecule — no carrier proteins, no accessory proteins, nothing extra. It is sometimes called “naked tox” or “pure tox” for that reason.

Botox and Dysport both contain complexing proteins around the active molecule. Those proteins help stabilize the drug in the vial, but they can also trigger an immune response in some long-term users that gradually neutralizes the drug — what patients commonly experience as “my Botox stopped working.”

Xeomin in Miami Beach typically ranges from $12 to $16 per unit. A standard upper-face treatment (glabella, forehead, crow’s feet) uses roughly 40–55 units, putting most patients between $480 and $880 per session. A single-area treatment such as just the 11s or just a lip flip is considerably less.

Xeomin is often priced $1–$3 per unit below Botox at the same practice. That’s a manufacturer-market reality, not a quality difference. At South Florida Face and Body, Kelly prices per unit, and your invoice reflects only what was used.

Often, yes — and that’s one of the strongest clinical cases for switching. If your Botox has progressively lost effectiveness, the most likely explanation is an antibody response to the complexing proteins in conventional formulations. Xeomin contains none of those proteins, so the immune system has nothing extra to recognize. Many resistance-pattern patients see their full effect return on the first Xeomin session.

The switch requires no washout period. Kelly will review your treatment history at consultation to determine whether resistance is actually the issue or whether something else — under-dosing, technique, longer-than-expected interval — explains the change.

Onset is typically 4 to 6 days, with full effect at day 14. Duration is 3 to 4 months for most patients. In Miami Beach specifically, patients with high-intensity training routines (4+ sessions per week) or significant sun and salt exposure may metabolize neuromodulator slightly faster, so a 12–14 week maintenance cadence is common rather than the textbook 16.

“Safer” isn’t the right word — Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin all have decades of safety data and equivalent FDA approvals. What Xeomin offers is a cleaner ingredient profile: a single active molecule with no accessory or complexing proteins. For patients who value that simplicity — the same patients who read every ingredient label on their skincare and supplements — Xeomin is the most minimal option that exists in the category.

It is not “more natural” in any meaningful sense (it’s still a precisely manufactured pharmaceutical), but it is the purest formulation available.

Not with a thoughtful, individualized treatment plan. The over-treated look generally comes from over-dosing the forehead or treating muscles in isolation rather than as a balanced facial unit. Kelly’s approach is to preserve natural expression intentionally — you should still be able to raise your brows, register surprise, and look fully like yourself when you laugh.

If you’ve had a result you weren’t happy with elsewhere, bring photos to your consultation. Many patients use a Xeomin switch as an opportunity to recalibrate to a more natural plan.

None formally. Most patients return to work or errands immediately and most workouts the next morning without anyone noticing. Day-of guidance: no lying flat for 4 hours, no exercise for the rest of the day, no facials for 48 hours, no alcohol for 24 hours. Mild redness or pinpoint bumps resolve within an hour.

Most healthy adults aged 18 to 75 with dynamic wrinkles are good candidates. You are not a candidate if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a neuromuscular disorder (myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton, ALS), have an active skin infection at the planned injection site, or have a known allergy to botulinum toxin. Disclose any aminoglycoside antibiotic use and your full allergy history at consultation.

Yes. Xeomin pairs well with dermal filler (mid-face, lips), biostimulators (Sculptra, Radiesse), and skin treatments such as medical microneedling or RF. A common combination plan in our practice: Xeomin for the upper face, hyaluronic acid filler for the lips or under-eye, and a skin-quality protocol of medical-grade skincare plus seasonal microneedling. Sequencing matters; Kelly will plan it out.
