What Is BOTOX?
Patients who are experiencing signs of aging such as dynamic wrinkles, creases, and facial lines can begin to feel self-conscious. However, BOTOX is a wrinkle relaxer that can be injected into the facial skin to help reduce and smooth out deep lines in areas such as the forehead and nasolabial folds. BOTOX is composed of botulinum toxin type A, which allows the muscles beneath the facial skin to temporarily stop contracting and the wrinkles to be resolved. Our facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Mark A. Petroff, recommends BOTOX to Lake Oswego, OR men and women who are seeking a more youthful, younger-looking expression. Patients interested in receiving BOTOX can schedule a consultation at Petroff Center Plastic Surgery / Premier Laser + Skin to learn more about their treatment options.
What Are the Benefits of BOTOX?
Signs of aging and facial folds can take away from our other attributes, as well as make us look more aged than actuality. BOTOX is a fantastic method for supplying you with a younger look. While the outcomes are not permanent, you can reap the benefits for several months before needing to get a touch-up appointment. Patients may also get added advantages from BOTOX at Petroff Center Plastic Surgery / Premier Laser + Skin like:
- Comfortable treatments: BOTOX sessions use a very small needle, making the treatments seem like a little pinch of the skin.
- Simple upkeep: People who desire to keep their results for a while can notice that follow-up appointments are brief and feasible for everyday schedules.
- Quick appointments: The BOTOX appointments often take as few as 10 minutes.
- No downtime: Due to its minimally invasive qualities, you are free to resume your daily activities following appointments.
Am I A Candidate for BOTOX?
During the initial consultation, your doctor will ask about the patient's concerns and their goals to help them decide if BOTOX is the best treatment. Ideal candidates will have:
- Deep lines and wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions
- Facial asymmetry, particularly around the eyebrows
- Wrinkles that make them look sad, tired, or mad
- Are not ready or do not want a facelift
How Are BOTOX Injections Performed?
A BOTOX treatment is usually performed on the same day as your consultation in about 15 – 30 minutes as an outpatient procedure. Dr. Petroff or another member of our team will clean the treatment sites before the BOTOX is injected into the facial muscles with a thin needle. Most patients feel mild to no discomfort during the procedure, but local anesthesia or numbing cream can be used if the patient prefers. Patients will be able to leave immediately after their BOTOX appointment, but they should avoid lying down, touching the injection sites, and exercise for at least 24 hours. There may be temporary bruising, swelling, or redness in the first 1 – 2 days.

What Can I Expect After BOTOX?
While some results will be seen immediately after the treatment, patients will see the full benefits of BOTOX in 3 – 4 days as the dynamic wrinkles begin to soften and smooth. BOTOX Cosmetic treatments usually last 3 – 6 months, so patients are encouraged to schedule their next appointment after their treatment to prevent the results from fading. Dr. Petroff may also suggest a follow-up BOTOX appointment several weeks after the initial treatment to check your results and arrange further injections, if needed.
