BOTOX Eugene

Smooth out frown lines, brow furrows & more

Are you bothered by wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, and forehead that give you a tired, older, or concerned look?

Botox^® Cosmetic treatments at our Eugene med spa can help! Botox is a non-surgical, injectable treatment that softens and smooths wrinkles caused by habitual facial expressions to help you look more youthful and refreshed. Treatment is quick, results are apparent in just a few days, and the rejuvenating effects of Botox last for months.

What can Botox treat?

Botox is effective at treating the following areas of concern:

• Glabellar lines in the brow (a.k.a. “the elevens”)
• Horizontal forehead lines
• Nasolabial lines between the nose and mouth (a.k.a. “marionette lines”)
• Crow’s feet around the eyes
• Smile lines around the corners of the mouth
• Excessive appearance of gums when smiling (a.k.a. “gummy smile”)

What is Botox treatment like?

Using a short, very thin needle, Eugene plastic surgeon Dr. Movassaghi or one of our qualified injectors Karen and Janna will inject a predetermined dose of Botox into specific muscles around the eyes and forehead to induce muscle relaxation and soften the targeted wrinkles. Injections are not painful; rather, you may feel a pinching sensation. The entire process only takes about 15-20 minutes to perform, and you may return to daily activities immediately, although you should skip any workouts or heavy exercise for the rest of the day.

You may notice some redness or mild bruising and swelling at the injection site, but more serious side effects are rare. Results are usually apparent about 2-3 days after treatment, and follow-up treatment may be needed after several months to maintain the results.

How does Botox work?

Most bothersome wrinkles in the upper third of the face develop as a result of our habitual facial expressions as much as they do the aging process—even men and women in their late 20’s or early 30’s may notice glabellar lines or crow’s feet beginning to form. Such lines are called “dynamic” wrinkles because they can get more or less severe as you change your facial expressions.

Botox works by using a safe dose of a neurotoxin called botulinum toxin type A to temporarily weaken the facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. Following injection, the habitual “pull” of treated muscles relaxes, allowing the overlying skin to appear smoother, and wrinkles are lessened naturally. The muscle-relaxing effects of Botox typically last 3-6 months, depending on the patient.

How soon will you see Botox results?

Most people start to see the effects of Botox within 3-5 days after treatment. Regular treatments are needed in order to maintain your desired results. Your provider will be able to provide you with more information on what you can expect after your Botox treatment.

What are common side-effects of Botox?

Although Botox injection (aka botulinum toxin injection) is generally safe when administered correctly by a qualified specialist, some potential side effects that have been reported. Be sure to discuss your health history with your healthcare provider before receiving any cosmetic injectable treatments so they can advise you of all potential risks and benefits.

Will people be able to tell I’ve gotten Botox?

If you have chosen a skilled, experienced Botox provider, the results should look completely natural. The face does not appear “frozen,” and you will still be able to make normal facial expressions. The difference is that the facial movements that cause frown lines and brow furrows will not be so severe and you will not make such movements subconsciously.

An added benefit of Botox is that treatments tend to have a cumulative effect in that they can actually train your muscles to contract less. After receiving injections to an area every few months, many patients seem to have “unlearned” the habitual muscle contractions that contribute to dynamic wrinkles, and as a result, require less frequent follow-up Botox treatments to maintain their results.

Can I combine BOTOX and dermal fillers?

Combining Botox and dermal fillers allows for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. While Botox and fillers are both non-surgical injectables intended to treat facial wrinkles, they work differently. Each is better suited to different types of wrinkles. Dermal fillers, such as Juvéderm or VOLUMA XC, contain a gel-like substance that sits beneath the skin, adding volume to soften lines and fill depressions. Fillers are best at treating “static” wrinkles, or those that form as a result of volume loss. Fillers are excellent at smoothing lines around the nose and mouth. In contrast, Botox works much like a medication; Botox is absorbed by the body after it is injected, therefore it doesn’t remain under the skin once injected. Botox is also better suited to address wrinkles around the eyes and forehead.

When used together as part of a multifaceted facial rejuvenation plan, Botox and fillers can help you smooth wrinkles and restore youthful volume throughout the face.

Can Botox compete with a Brow Lift?

Botox and a brow lift are two different procedures that can address different concerns. BOTOX® is a non-surgical treatment that works by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles and fine lines, including those in the forehead area. It can help smooth out wrinkles and give a more youthful appearance without the need for surgery. On the other hand, a brow lift is a surgical procedure that involves lifting and repositioning the eyebrows to create a more youthful, rested look.

While both procedures can provide excellent results, they are not necessarily interchangeable. If you have mild to moderate sagging of the brows or just want to improve fine lines and wrinkles in your forehead area, Botox may be an effective option for you. However, if you have significant drooping of the brows or excess skin on your forehead, a brow lift may be necessary to achieve your desired results.

Ultimately, it is best to consult with qualified provider who is directly overseen by a board-certified plastic surgeon who can assess your individual needs and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for you.
