At Mālama Dermatology in Honolulu, our cosmetic dermatology services are dedicated to enhancing your natural beauty while promoting overall skin health and vitality. One of the most popular treatments we offer is Botox using Xeomin, a highly refined injectable that smooths fine lines and wrinkles while preserving natural facial expression.

If you’ve been considering Botox but aren’t sure what to expect, here’s a simple breakdown of the process and what your experience with Dr. Shelbi Jim On will look like.

Why Xeomin?

Dr. Jim On uses Xeomin, an FDA-approved neuromodulator similar to Botox, but uniquely formulated without added proteins. This “naked” formulation may reduce the risk of resistance over time and can provide very natural, consistent results.

Xeomin is commonly used to treat:

  • Forehead lines

  • Frown lines (between the brows)

  • Crow’s feet

  • Fine lines around the eyes and mouth

The goal is not to “freeze” your face, but to soften lines while keeping your expressions natural and refreshed.

Your Consultation

Your visit begins with a personalized consultation. Dr. Jim On will:

  • Evaluate your facial structure and muscle movement

  • Discuss your aesthetic goals

  • Recommend precise treatment areas

  • Explain how Xeomin can best achieve subtle, balanced results

This customized approach ensures your treatment complements your natural features.

“Our goal is always to enhance, not change, your appearance. Botox with Xeomin allows us to soften lines while keeping your expressions natural and authentic.”
Dr. Shelbi Jim On

During the Treatment

The Xeomin injections themselves are quick and straightforward:

  • The appointment usually takes 10–15 minutes

  • A very fine needle is used

  • Discomfort is minimal and brief

  • No anesthesia is typically required

Many patients return to work or daily activities immediately after treatment.

After Your Treatment

You may notice:

  • Mild redness or swelling at injection sites (usually fades quickly)

  • Results beginning in 3–5 days

  • Full results appearing within 7–14 days

Results typically last 3 to 4 months, and regular maintenance appointments help preserve your refreshed look.

Aftercare tips:

  • Avoid rubbing treated areas for 24 hours

  • Remain upright for 4 hours post-treatment

  • Skip strenuous exercise the same day
