Smoother Skin and Relief from Facial Tension
At Ray Dental, our care goes beyond teeth—we also help patients look and feel their best with advanced facial pain treatments. We offer Xeomin®, a purified botulinum-based treatment used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while also providing relief from jaw tension, facial pain, and clenching.
Whether you're interested in smoothing frown lines or addressing muscle discomfort associated with TMJ, our facial pain treatments are safe, effective, and administered with expert precision.
We proudly serve patients across Fort Collins, Windsor, Loveland, Greeley, and Timnath, delivering natural-looking results in a relaxing dental setting.
What Is Xeomin?
Xeomin® is a neuromodulator similar to Botox® that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles. It’s used for both cosmetic enhancement and therapeutic applications. Unlike Botox, Xeomin is uniquely purified and does not contain accessory proteins, which may reduce the risk of developing resistance over time.
In dentistry, Xeomin has dual benefits:
- Cosmetic: Minimizes lines and wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), and around the eyes (crow’s feet).
- Therapeutic: Alleviates facial pain, jaw tension, and discomfort from clenching or bruxism.
This quick, non-surgical treatment delivers noticeable improvements with no downtime.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
Xeomin injections are quick, straightforward, and well-tolerated by most patients. Here's what your appointment typically involves:
- Consultation – We begin with a detailed conversation about your goals, medical history, and areas of concern.
- Mapping & Planning – The treatment areas are gently marked based on muscle activity and desired outcome.
- Injections – A very fine needle is used to administer Xeomin precisely into the targeted muscles. Most patients experience only mild, brief discomfort.
- Aftercare – You can return to your normal routine immediately, though we advise avoiding strenuous activity or lying down for a few hours.
Results typically begin to appear within 3–5 days and reach full effect at about 10–14 days. The smoothing and pain-relieving effects can last up to 3–4 months.

Answer text goes here
Is Xeomin different from Botox?
Yes. Xeomin and Botox are both neuromodulators, but Xeomin is uniquely purified, meaning it contains no accessory proteins. This can make it a better option for long-term use, especially for patients who’ve developed resistance to Botox.
Does it hurt?
Most patients experience only a slight pinching sensation. The procedure is very quick, and no anesthesia is required.
Can Facial Pain Treatments help with jaw pain?
Yes. Xeomin can be used to relax overactive jaw muscles, helping reduce tension, soreness, and symptoms related to clenching or TMD.
How long does it last?
Results usually last 3–4 months. Regular maintenance treatments can help preserve your results and prevent the recurrence of symptoms.
Will I look “frozen”?
Not at all. Our injections are carefully placed to maintain natural facial movement while reducing wrinkles or relieving tension.
