Why Xeomin® at Balanced Dental?
As skin ages, frown lines can appear between the eyebrows, making your face look pinched and upset even if you are fully relaxed. At Balanced Dental, we can help you put your best face forward by targeting the areas of the skin where fine lines and wrinkles have gathered. Depending on your specific needs and preferences, our doctor may recommend Xeomin®.
Frequently Asked Question
How does Xeomin® work?
Xeomin®, known as “naked Botox” due to its double-filtered formula, removes unnecessary proteins through a proprietary process called XTRACT Technology®. The active ingredient (botulinum toxin type A) contains only what is needed to smooth and soften frown lines. The prescription medication is injected into the targeted muscles in the forehead, reducing their contractions. The result is smooth, toned, and youthful skin.
What do I need to know after my Xeomin® procedure?
Xeomin® injections do not require recovery time. However, there are steps you can take to ensure the best outcome. We recommend avoiding the treated area for at least three hours post-treatment and strenuous exercise for at least six hours. Please avoid consuming alcohol and taking any blood thinners 24-48 hours before and after the treatment.
How long does Xeomin® last?
Typically, appointments take no longer than 20 minutes to complete.
You may begin to see results as soon as 3-4 days post-treatment, with maximum effects seen at 30 days. In clinical trials, results lasted approximately three months but may last significantly longer or shorter in individual patients.
Is Xeomin® safe?
Xeomin® is FDA-approved and generally considered a safe cosmetic treatment option when performed by an experienced provider.
Will I still be able to make facial expressions with Xeomin®?
This is a common concern among clients considering an anti-aging injectable. The doctor will review your goals and have a detailed conversation with you during a complimentary consultation. Your provider will then develop a treatment plan to achieve your desired outcome, whether it is a more natural look or a “frozen” look, there are steps they can take to ensure your goals are met.
Are there any side effects?
The most common side effects are minimal swelling and bruising at the injection site. Xeomin®’s patented formulation reduces the chances of allergic reactions when compared to other neurotoxins.
Can I get this while pregnant?
Xeomin® should not be used on women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Is it safe to get Xeomin at a dental office?
Absolutely. Dentists are among the most skilled injectors in the facial anatomy — Dr. Jackson has expert knowledge of the muscles, nerves, and structures of the face, making dental offices an excellent setting for these treatments.
Is Xeomin covered by insurance?
No — it is a cosmetic treatment and not covered by dental or medical insurance.
Can Xeomin also help with teeth grinding?
Yes — Xeomin (like Botox) can be injected into the masseter muscle to reduce clenching and grinding. This is a functional, therapeutic application that many patients find transformative.
