Portland Injectables
Portland Botox
These past couple of weeks I have been busy organizing a new scheduling system for my Portland office. My intention is to make super clear all the services in Portland that I offer. This week I share with you the myriad of injectables offered and how they can support your goals.
Injectables are products we use to achieve a planned outcome like adding lost volume or giving some lift; typically to achieve a more youthful appearance. There are many different kinds of injectables and different companies that make them; here is what I currently offer in Portland.
Neurotoxins, or Botulinum toxin, commonly referred to as Botox or Dysport, work by temporarily relaxing muscle function. There are several brands that exist, and I carry Botox and Dysport in my Portland office. Botox is FDA approved to treat the brow furrows, forehead lines, and crows feet but their usage is extensive. For example:
Botox placed in the masseter muscle minimizes jaw clenching and can slim the face.
Botox For Hyperhidrosis a safe and effective way to treat localized excessive sweating with results lasting 6-9 months on average. Best for treating the underarm area but can also help with sweaty palms and feet.
Botox to Treat the Neck and Jawline: When placed very superficially, a tightening occurs and may reduce the appearance of horizontal neck lines. Botox can also be placed in the platysmal bands which become more pronounced as we mature, giving the neck a more youthful appearance and defining the jawline.
The Lip Flip: Botox is injected into the upper lip, relaxing the muscle and giving the appearance of a full lip.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers are popular injectables that are used to plump, lift, and contour the face. HA is a sugar found naturally in the body that holds 1,000 times its weight in water. I encourage scheduling a complimentary consultation prior to most of these services. We typically use juvederm products but have the restylane and revenasse products available.
Filler Treatment - Full Face Rejuvenation includes multiple areas of the face treated in one session. Treatment is customized to the individual. Four syringes are commonly used.
Filler Treatment - The Cheeks, are best for achieving natural-looking cheekbones. HA fillers immediately deliver lifting, plumping, and contouring results that can last up to a year. Two syringes are typically used.
The Lip Filler Treatment - HA fillers can deliver natural looking results and restore lip volume lost over time.
The Mini Lip Fill is up to 0.5 cc’s of HA injectable filler, injected into and lining the lips, and giving a soft and natural result. The Mini Lip Fill Treatment is customized to each person’s needs, but most people do end up using the entire 0.5 cc’s. You can choose within a month's time to come back for the full syringe and only pay the difference. Available with Juvederm: Ultra xc, Volbella xc, and Vollure xc.
Filler Treatment - Lower Face Treatment includes the chin, marionette lines, jawline, and lips.
Filler Treatment - Tear Trough supports the trough and under-eye area with HA filler.. Consultation is required to assess for candidacy.
Sculptra Aesthetic is a collagen-stimulating filler that is a great option for those who want to volumize and correct facial fat loss that naturally occurs when we age, resulting in a smooth, more youthful appearance. Expect a gradual plumping over the course of several months as your body naturally absorbs the product and produces new collagen.
Kybella is a deoxycholic acid injectable aimed to address double chin and excess lower facial fat. Results are permanent fat destruction; multiple treatments are most often required for optimal results.
So there you have it! For those interested, schedule a complimentary consultation in Portland so we talk about your goals and which treatments are right for you.
