![Botox Portland]()
Aging brings with it many gifts, including experience, wisdom and perspective. Unfortunately, it also delivers wrinkles, fine lines, creases and folds that may make us look older than we actually feel. Aging in the face can inhibit us socially, and we may withdraw from the world, rather than engaging in our favorite activities and events.
Our PA Injectors and Doctors are passionate about delivering to our clients a full array of age-reversing treatments, both surgical and non-surgical, that can help restore a youthful vibrancy to the skin, increasing self-confidence and restoring quality of life. One of the most popular non-invasive cosmetic treatments we offer is our Botox in Portland.
BOTOX is a powerful agent used to temporarily paralyze the tiny muscles responsible for the facial contractions that cause wrinkles. Frown lines, crow's feet and smoker's lines can all be beautifully reversed with BOTOX, as well as banding and crepe-ing in the neck.
BOTOX is injected using ultra-thin needles without anesthesia. The total treatment time is typically less than 20 minutes. You will see results within several days, and the changes will last about 3 to 4 months, at which point you can repeat your treatment. The knowledge of our team, the passion we have for our patients, and the drive we have for great results; we will help your skin stand the test of time and feel better than it ever has at any age.

Botox FAQ
How long do BOTOX treatments last?
Results from BOTOX Cosmetic last approximately three to four months, and sometimes longer.
How does BOTOX help with Migraines?
BOTOX was originally developed for medical treatments. It is made from a purified form of a neurotoxin which works to paralyze the muscles into which it is injected. By blocking signals from the nervous system to the muscles triggering migraine headaches, it allows these muscles to relax and can prevent the spasms which lead to the difficult and painful symptoms of migraines.
Is treatment for Migraines with BOTOX long-lasting?
Like all treatment with BOTOX, maintenance injections will be required to experience continued relief from migraines with BOTOX. You will need to receive injections once every three to four months in order to maintain your results.
When will I see results?
Some patients will begin to notice results in as little as three to four days following treatment with BOTOX. As the days progress, you will see the lines on your face soften and your appearance begin to brighten. Full results with BOTOX are typically achieved within about fourteen days of treatment.
What happens when BOTOX wears off?
Since treatment with BOTOX is temporary, if you choose to discontinue BOTOX injections the lines treated in your face will eventually return as the effects wear off.
Is BOTOX safe?
Yes. BOTOX has been approved by the FDA for treatment of fine lines and wrinkles on the face. When performed by an experienced physician, BOTOX is quite safe. In the wrong hands, there can be dangerous side effects associated with the administration of BOTOX. For this reason, it is imperative that you choose your doctor wisely.
How can I prepare for BOTOX injections?
