Facial injectables like Xeomin® might not be the first thing you think of when visiting the dentist, but they’re more versatile than you might expect. Whether you’re looking to smooth fine lines or ease jaw pain, Xeomin offers both cosmetic and therapeutic benefits. At Columbus Periodontics & Implants in Columbus, IN, Dr. Katherine E. Ferry blends her expertise in facial anatomy with advanced training in injectables to deliver safe, effective, and confidence-boosting treatments.
What is Xeomin, and How Does It Work?
Let’s break it down: Xeomin is an FDA-approved treatment that contains botulinum toxin type A. When these muscles are overactive—whether they’re causing deep frown lines or jaw tension—Xeomin blocks the nerve signals that make them contract. This creates smoother skin in cosmetic applications and reduces pain and strain in therapeutic uses.
Unlike similar products, Xeomin is a “cleaner” formula without added proteins, which lowers the risk of your body developing resistance over time.
Cosmetic and Therapeutic Benefits
One of the best things about Xeomin is its flexibility.
For Cosmetic Use: Wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements—like crow’s feet, forehead lines, or those “eleven” frown lines—are no match for Xeomin. It works by softening these dynamic wrinkles, leaving you looking refreshed and natural, not frozen.
For TMJ and Jaw Pain Relief: Xeomin also provides relief for symptoms like teeth grinding, clenching, or jaw pain. By relaxing overworked muscles, it alleviates tension and reduces headaches, improving both comfort and function.
What Happens After Xeomin?
Post-treatment care is simple but important:
Keep your hands off the injection site for 24 hours (we know it’s tempting!).
Avoid vigorous exercise or lying flat for the day.
Skip alcohol and blood-thinning medications to reduce the chance of bruising.
Results typically last 3 to 4 months. Regular maintenance appointments can help you keep your glow—or your pain relief—going strong.
