BOTOX® & Xeomin® Treatment Columbia, MD
Revive Your Youthful Glow
Some of the most noticeable signs of aging are fine lines and wrinkles that develop on the skin of the face due to a loss of collagen, overworked and tension-filled muscles, and even the environment. With time, these can become even more noticeable and make you appear older than you actually are. Fortunately, cosmetic facial injectables like BOTOX and Xeomin are fast, convenient, and simple procedures that allow you to renew your appearance with virtually no downtime.

How Does BOTOX® and Xeomin® Work?
BOTOX and Xeomin are two brand-names of the same product, which is a diluted form of botulinum toxin, which is a bacteria that causes muscle-relaxing effects upon injection. Because wrinkles and fine lines of the face are caused by bunched-up and overworked muscles, injecting botulinum toxin into these muscles allows them to relax and smooth out, reducing the appearance of wrinkles. The injections take just a few minutes to administer, and you’ll be able to notice the final results within about two weeks.
What Areas Can Be Treated with BOTOX® and Xeomin®?
You may be surprised to know that BOTOX and Xeomin offer both esthetic and functional results, allowing Dr. Santos to use them to help relieve TMJ pain, minimize migraines, and renew your appearance. If you experience any of the following, we encourage you to ask us about BOTOX and Xeomin treatment:
- TMJ Pain: TMJ disorder impacts the jaw joints as well as the muscles around the jaw. When these muscles are filled with tension, it can lead to migraines, pain while opening and closing the mouth, and chronic discomfort.
- Gummy Smile: If you have an overactive upper lip that reveals more of your gums when you smile, relaxing it with botulinum toxin will help you achieve a more symmetrical grin.
- Horizontal Forehead Lines: Often visible from frequent frowning or smiling, horizontal forehead lines are a common sign of aging.
- Lines Between the Eyebrows: These develop due to regular frowning or making common facial expressions.
- Crow’s Feet: Lines that emerge from the outer corners of your eyes typically develop from squinting.
- Bunny Lines: Typically located right below frown lines, bunny lines appear on the top of the nose.
- Smoker’s Lines: Fine lines that appear around the mouth.
- Wrinkles Surrounding the Neck: Known as vertical platysma, these are banded wrinkles surrounding the neck.
