What Is Botox / Xeomin? How Long Does Botox / Xeomin Last?

Botox / Xeomin is made from botulin toxin A, a neurotoxin collected from bacteria called clostridium botulinum. Once injected, the botulin toxin A attaches to the nerves of the muscles and prevents the contraction of the muscle fibers on average for 3-6 months*. What is in Botox / Xeomin? Ingredients include not only the neurotoxin but also Albumin Human, a protein found in plasma, and sodium chloride, a preservative. How long does Botox / Xeomin last? It depends on the way it’s used. Some treatments, like trigger point injections, can provide results that last for months.

Common Myths About Botox / Xeomin

• Botulin toxin A can give you botulism.
  • FALSE – botulin toxin A is a purified and diluted substance that will not give you botulism when given in a medical setting.
• You will lose sensation in the treated areas.
  • FALSE – Botox / Xeomin only affects the contraction of the muscles and not the sensation.
• It will freeze your facial expressions.
  • FALSE – Botox / Xeomin only releases the contraction of your muscle. If given in the proper doses, Botox / Xeomin will not freeze your facial expression.

Fighting Headaches and Migraines with Botox / Xeomin

Did you know that Botox / Xeomin prevents on average 8 to 9 headache days and migraine/probable migraine days a month? 3.3 million U.S. adults have chronic migraines. Chronic migraines are defined as having 15 or more headache days per month and each lasting four hours or more. Since its FDA approval in 2011, 2 million Botox / Xeomin treatments have been given to more than 500,000 people with chronic migraines.

With Botox / Xeomin, the first FDA-approved preventative chronic migraine treatment, you can prevent headaches and migraines before they even start. All it takes is a single session in our office once every 12 weeks. The injections are done with very small, fine needles and injected into shallow muscles just beneath the skin. The injections only take about 15 minutes and there is no downtime associated with this treatment.

Relieving Jaw Tension and TMJ Symptoms with Botox / Xeomin

Have you suffered from jaw pain and TMJ for years with no relief? Tired of keeping track of a bite guard to manage your symptoms? Then Botox / Xeomin might be a treatment option to help relieve jaw tension and manage symptoms of TMJ. Patients love it because it is a way to provide relief for their pain.

When injected into the facial muscles afflicted with soreness and discomfort, Botox / Xeomin relieves the pain and tension for most patients. The injections also often eliminate headaches resulting from teeth grinding and severe stress and may also even minimize jaw lock. Using Botox / Xeomin for TMJ disorder and jaw tension is usually quick, straightforward, and effective with most patients experiencing noticeable improvement within one to two days of their treatment, although relief can take up to a week.

Trigger Point Therapy with Botox / Xeomin

Did you know that muscles in your head and neck can cause headaches or even pain in your teeth? A trigger point is a knot or tight band in your muscle that forms when your muscle fails to contract. Over time, this knot can trap or irritate surrounding nerves. This can cause pain in the nerve itself or cause referred pain (pain felt in another part of the body). Trigger point therapy with Botox / Xeomin is an effective treatment that can reduce pain for months at a time.

Combating the Signs of Aging with Botox / Xeomin

The most well-known use of Botox / Xeomin is to reduce the signs of aging by diminishing fine lines and wrinkles on the face. It works by temporarily blocking the signals from the nerves to the muscles so that the muscle contractions are reduced or eliminated, which allows the wrinkles to relax and soften. This also helps new wrinkles and lines from forming on the face. It is most commonly used to treat forehead lines, crow’s feet (lines around the eye), and frown lines between the eyes. There’s also the Botox / Xeomin lip flip, which relaxes the muscles around the mouth. When injected correctly, Botox® allows you to showcase your facial expression normally while reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

What Specific Concerns Can Be Treated?

Another reason Botox is so popular is due to the wide range of positive results it provides. We use it most often to diminish fine lines and wrinkles on the face. The most popular areas treated are corners of the mouth, forehead, frown lines, crow’s feet, and brow.

Who Performs The Injections?

At Seattle Dental Associates, your Botox injections will be administered by one of our licensed cosmetic dentists. Dental education is based not just on your teeth and gums, but the maxillofacial areas as well. This gives dentists the unique and advantaged approach to understand how and why Botox works well for facial aesthetics.

How Long Is The Botox Treatment Appointment?

We administer Botox right in our downtown Seattle office. The injection only takes about half an hour, depending on the areas we’re targeting. Many of our patients stop by for their Botox treatment during their lunch break and are free to return back about their day after.

Is It Painful?

As with all our procedures, we take care to minimalize pain and discomfort during your appointment. Most patients admit that they experience only slight discomfort that quickly diminished.

How Many Injections Will I Need?

Depending on where we’re injecting the Botox, the process could be three to five injections. The crow’s feet area only needs three, while frown lines and forehead areas usually require five injections to relax the muscles. When you meet with us, we’ll discuss your best course of action and develop a treatment plan that’s unique to you.

Is There Any Recovery Or Downtime?

Usually, there is no downtime or recovery time. You are free to carry about your day after our appointment. Some bruising or swelling may occur but should fade quickly.

How Long After Botox Do You See Results?

Botox takes about two weeks for results to appear on your face. They then last several months. We recommend scheduling follow-up appointments and a schedule to maintain the results you desire as Botox dissolves over time.
