Botox is a neurotoxin protein that is injected into specific muscles for cosmetic use. It works by temporarily relaxing these targeted muscles, smoothing the appearance of wrinkles and lines.

Most patients do not report discomfort during their Botox treatment. However, some may report a slight pinching sensation at the injection point. At EsthetixMD, if desired, we can apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment before injection to ensure your comfort, although most patients do not find it necessary.

Your Premier Bend Botox Provider

TOP 500 PROVIDER

EsthetixMD medical spa is a BOTOX Top 500 provider in the nation and top 10 in Oregon, reflecting our experience with this simple, cost-effective procedure that delivers dramatic wrinkle reduction.

Worry lines, frown lines, laugh or smile lines, and crow’s feet – these are all “dynamic” wrinkles caused by years of living and using facial muscles to show expression. At our office in Bend, OR, BOTOX injections safely and effectively soften lines and reduce wrinkles. While it’s not magic, BOTOX Cosmetic injectables can restore some youthfulness to your appearance.

How Does It Work?

FDA-APPROVED FOR COSMETIC TREATMENTS.

BOTOX is a purified protein made from botulinum toxin type A. Botulinum toxin injections have a decades-long history in the treatment of a variety of medical conditions, including chronic migraine disorder, urinary incontinence (overactive bladder), and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). Clinical trials and medical and scientific journals the world over have proven BOTOX’s incredible results.

Since 2002, BOTOX has been FDA-approved for cosmetic use. BOTOX injections work differently than dermal fillers. It’s made with botulinum toxin, which inhibits the transmission of chemicals that cause muscle contraction. For example, BOTOX injections are used for a chemical brow lift by weakening the facial muscles that push the brows down. Uneven brows can be balanced by treating specific facial muscles – the muscles that lift the brow engage while others relax.

You’re likely a good candidate if you’re looking for a quick and easy way to look younger. With BOTOX in Bend, OR, patients can successfully treat:

Worry lines and forehead wrinkles
Moderate to severe frown lines
Crows’ feet
Eyelid twitching
Unbalanced brows
Downturned mouth corners
“Bunny” lines on the nose
Lines or wrinkles under the eyes
Low or heavy eyebrows (brow lift)
Vertical lip lines (in conjunction with fillers)

Additional Reading

BOTOX treatments take only a few minutes. Improvement is rapid, and BOTOX Cosmetic can show results within days of injection. The treated areas will continue to relax and become smoother over 1-2 weeks. There is no downtime after this quick, simple treatment; you’ll resume normal activity immediately. Expect results to last three to four months. Your clinician may recommend BOTOX injections ahead of dermal filler treatment to reduce the contraction of certain muscles and further prevent repetitive muscle movement. Prior injections are intended to prevent the “creasing” of the filler at the injection site. The synergistic effect of BOTOX and filler products often prolongs the results of treatment.

Get rid of forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet with FDA-approved Botox.

What To Expect During Your Botox Treatment

One of BOTOX’s biggest draws is the simplicity of the procedure. When you arrive at EsthetixMD for Botox in Bend, OR, you’ll follow a personalized treatment plan developed during your consultation.

Before receiving Botox, patients should avoid smoking and taking blood thinners. If you are pregnant, have an active skin infection, or have recently had surgery, you may need to wait to receive botulinum toxin injection treatments.

Pro Tip: Engage the targeted muscles immediately after treatment to encourage the BOTOX solution to settle precisely where it’s needed.

Your BOTOX specialist will thoroughly cleanse the treatment area, and a topical numbing cream may be applied if desired. If you opt for an anesthetic, injections will begin after it has taken effect (this takes a few minutes). If not, you’ll feel only a slight pinch and minimal discomfort. Your specialist will use an ultra-fine needle to strategically inject the BOTOX solution into the muscles that contribute to dynamic wrinkles.

Your Botox Recovery

RECOVERY FROM BOTOX INJECTIONS IS EXTREMELY MINIMAL

There is no downtime after the Botox procedure, though we recommend some precautions that will maximize your results. Avoid rubbing the treatment area for 24 to 48 hours after your procedure to prevent the solution from traveling to other places.

Touching the treatment area may introduce bacteria and cause infection. Avoid lying down for four hours, and do not exercise for 24 hours. For 48 hours, avoid exposure to heat, which may worsen bruising and swelling. Examples of things to avoid are hot weather, strenuous exercise, saunas, sunbeds, and alcohol consumption. Some patients experience very mild swelling, tenderness, or redness around the injection site(s). These conditions will subside within a few hours in most cases.

Your Botox Results

Adult patients treated with Botox will start to notice a difference in the appearance of treated wrinkles within just a few days. However, complete results will take one to two weeks to develop. Results following botulinum toxin injection typically last three to four months and can be maintained with follow-up treatment.
