As your skin ages, wrinkles and fine lines can begin to alter your appearance, often making you look tired, tense or even upset. These lines frequently result from repeated muscle contractions caused by everyday expressions like squinting or frowning. At Elevation Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, we offer XEOMIN® to help smooth these lines and restore a more relaxed and youthful appearance.
What Is XEOMIN?
XEOMIN (incobotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to address moderate to severe frown lines, especially those that appear between the eyebrows. Similar to BOTOX®, XEOMIN works by temporarily blocking nerve signals in targeted muscles. This helps to reduce muscle activity, allowing the overlying skin to relax and minimizing the appearance of wrinkles. XEOMIN’s formula is unique because it is free of unnecessary proteins, which may lower the risk of developing resistance to the treatment over time.
What to Expect During Your XEOMIN Treatment
A XEOMIN session is quick and convenient, often lasting just 10 to 20 minutes. During your appointment, our dentists and team will carefully inject XEOMIN into the specific muscles responsible for your wrinkles. While no anesthesia is necessary, we can apply a topical anesthetic or cold compress to enhance your comfort. The procedure is minimally invasive, allowing you to return to your normal activities immediately.
How Soon Will You See Results?
You may start to notice the effects of XEOMIN within three to five days, with full results typically visible in about two weeks. These results can last for three to six months, depending on how your body responds to the treatment. Regular maintenance appointments can help you maintain your desired look.

Frequently Asked Questions About XEOMIN
What is the difference between XEOMIN and BOTOX?
XEOMIN and BOTOX are both botulinum toxin treatments designed to reduce wrinkles. The key difference is that XEOMIN is a “naked” injectable, meaning it contains no unnecessary proteins. This can lower the risk of developing resistance to the treatment, making it a great option for long-term use.
How long does it take to see results from XEOMIN?
You can expect to see initial results within three to five days, with full effects visible in about two weeks. XEOMIN works gradually to relax targeted muscles, smoothing out wrinkles. Results typically last three to six months, and regular maintenance treatments can help you maintain your refreshed appearance.
Is XEOMIN treatment painful?
XEOMIN treatments involve small injections and are generally well-tolerated. While no anesthesia is needed, some patients opt for a topical anesthetic or cold compress to minimize discomfort. Most describe the sensation as a slight pinch. The procedure is quick, with little to no downtime, allowing you to resume normal activities.
Who is a good candidate for XEOMIN?
XEOMIN is ideal for adults looking to reduce moderate to severe frown lines or other wrinkles caused by muscle movement. It is safe for most individuals in good health. However, those who are pregnant, nursing, or have certain medical conditions should consult with their provider before treatment.
