Austin Lifetime Dental Xeomin

What Is Xeomin®

Xeomin® is a purified botulinum toxin type A that relaxes specific muscles to reduce movement lines and relieve tension. It works similarly to Botox®, but it does not include added accessory proteins. When overactive muscles relax, the skin above them smooths and tightness below eases. Most patients see results in 3 to 7 days, and results typically last about 3 to 4 months depending on individual metabolism and muscle activity.

Why We Use Xeomin®

Most people know Botox®. Fewer know Xeomin®, which contains the same active ingredient but is uniquely protein-free. The clean formulation means fewer variables, a lower chance of developing resistance over time, and consistent, predictable results for both cosmetic and therapeutic care. Many patients prefer it as a simple, natural-feeling option for smoothing lines or easing TMJ pain.

Aesthetic Treatments

Every plan is customized to enhance your natural features, not change them.

  • Lip flip for a fuller, lifted smile without filler
  • Forehead and brow softening that reduces stress lines
  • Crow’s feet and frown line smoothing for a rested look

Treatments usually take 15 to 30 minutes. There is little to no downtime. You can return to normal activities right away. Avoid heavy exercise and rubbing the area for 24 hours.

Neck and Shoulder Support

Tension often extends beyond the jaw. Small, precise Xeomin® doses in the neck or shoulders can release muscle strain related to stress or posture and improve daily comfort.

TMJ, Bruxism, and Tension Relief

Overactive jaw muscles can cause headaches, facial pain, tooth wear, and poor sleep. Dentist-guided Xeomin® can help:

  • Reduce clenching and grinding
  • Ease tightness in the jaw, temples, and neck
  • Protect teeth from nighttime grinding
  • Support a more balanced bite

For lasting relief, Dr. Caraballo may pair treatment with a custom night guard or physical therapy to address root causes and prevent recurrence.

What to Expect

Your visit begins with a personal consultation to discuss goals for comfort, confidence, or both. We map the treatment area, then use an ultrafine needle and small, precise doses tailored to your anatomy. You may notice mild redness or tenderness for a few hours. Improvement is often felt within 3 to 7 days, with full effect by 2 weeks. Results typically last 3 to 4 months. We can plan simple maintenance visits to keep your results natural and consistent.

Why Choose a Dentist for Xeomin®

Dentists have unique expertise in the mouth, jaw, and smile line. Dr. Caraballo plans injections to support both function and beauty, so results feel as natural as they look and align with bite balance and facial symmetry.
