BOTOX® Cosmetic in Eugene, OR
When our facial muscles contract, they create dynamic expression lines that appear and disappear as your face moves. Over time, dynamic expression lines can become permanent, with creases or wrinkles etching their way into your face.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is an injectable cosmetic treatment that can be used to smooth out dynamic wrinkles by relaxing the muscles that create them, causing lines to diminish dramatically or disappear for a younger, wrinkle-free look.
The professional physician injectors at Aesthetic Plastic Surgery are knowledgeable and experienced in administering BOTOX® Cosmetic for smoothing out dynamic wrinkles. In addition to BOTOX® Cosmetic, our highly trained injectors offer a wide range of other non-surgical facial rejuvenation options to help women and men enjoy a fresh, revitalized appearance.
Our team of expert physicians and injectors will ensure you receive the highest quality treatments available. When it comes to achieving timeless beauty, BOTOX® tops the list!

Combining Treatments
Depending upon your specific goals, a combination approach may offer you the best results. Some people use BOTOX® Cosmetic to address the upper face while selecting a dermal filler such as JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC, JUVÉDERM®, or RADIESSE®, to target areas around the mouth, lips, and cheeks that look aged due to volume loss rather than dynamic expression.
By combining carefully selected non-surgical treatments, you can experience optimal results. Anyone hoping to reduce the appearance of lines or wrinkles on their upper face may be a candidate for BOTOX® Cosmetic. However, BOTOX® Cosmetic injections are not recommended for nursing or pregnant women.
Your BOTOX® Cosmetic Procedure
A BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment is quick and relatively painless. It typically takes no longer than 10 to 15 minutes and feels like a slight pinprick. Your physician will determine which facial muscles in the forehead and around the eyes need to be targeted. A very thin needle is then used to inject BOTOX® Cosmetic into the specific muscles, causing them to relax.
The number of injections needed will depend upon your facial anatomy and the areas that require treatment. The end result is smooth-looking skin and a reduction or disappearance of lines and wrinkles.
It can take seven to ten days after treatment to begin seeing results, and you can expect to see your final results after about two weeks. The results of BOTOX® Cosmetic can last up to four months. To maintain your smooth, more youthful appearance, you may choose to repeat treatments once you notice the effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic begin to fade. Some patients report that after several treatments, the effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic appear to last longer.
BOTOX® Overview
BOTOX® Cosmetic is the leading FDA-approved treatment for temporarily improving moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines in adults. By temporarily blocking the nerve signals to facial muscles, it prevents movements like brow furrowing and cheek lifting, helping to relax facial muscles and reduce contractions during expressions. This widely accepted anti-wrinkle solution reduces wrinkles and enhances skin texture and firmness, benefiting millions of users worldwide.
How BOTOX® Works
BOTOX® works by targeting the muscles responsible for causing wrinkles. It blocks the release of neurotransmitters in facial muscles, which reduces their constant movement and thus helps smooth existing wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming. The outcome is a more relaxed, refreshed, and rejuvenated appearance, highlighting your natural beauty.
BOTOX® vs. Other Treatments
While BOTOX® is excellent for smoothing dynamic wrinkles, other treatments can treat different concerns. Dermal fillers like Voluma™, JUVÉDERM®, and RADIESSE® are ideal for restoring lost volume and contouring areas like the cheeks, lips, and nasolabial folds. Laser treatments and chemical peels can improve skin texture and tone. Choosing the right treatment depends on your specific aesthetic goals and concerns. Our skilled practitioners can help you determine the best approach for achieving your desired results.
Benefits of BOTOX®
Achieve a Youthful, Refreshed Look
BOTOX® injections eliminate wrinkles and fine lines, offering a more youthful and refreshed appearance. This non-surgical procedure provides long-lasting and effective anti-aging benefits.
Boost Collagen Production
Aging is primarily caused by collagen loss in the skin. Studies show that regular BOTOX® injections can increase collagen levels by up to 167%, significantly improving skin elasticity and firmness.
Eliminate Common Wrinkles and Lines
BOTOX® eliminates crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles. It can also reduce eyelid hooding, droopy eyebrows, cobblestone chin, and lip lines. Even bunny lines on the bridge of the nose can be diminished.
Enhance Facial Features
For those with downturned corners of the mouth, BOTOX® injections can create a more cheerful appearance by relaxing the muscles. Additionally, BOTOX® can be injected into the corners and edges of the lips, resulting in more appealing, subtly plump-looking lips.
Therapeutic Applications
Beyond cosmetic benefits, BOTOX® has various therapeutic uses. It can alleviate excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), migraines, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) discomfort. Enlarged masseter muscles can also be slimmed down with BOTOX® injections.
Quick and Non-Invasive Procedure
BOTOX® injections are non-surgical and non-invasive, typically taking around 20 minutes with no downtime. With This quick and easy procedure, you can effortlessly achieve your most beautiful self!

Before, During, and After
What To Expect Before BOTOX®
During your consultation in Eugene, we’ll discuss your treatment goals, address any concerns or questions, and review your medical history. Our healthcare professional will also assess the areas you want to treat and determine if BOTOX® is right for you.
Before your BOTOX® procedure, avoid alcohol, anti-inflammatory medications (like Ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin, or Aleve), aspirin, and Vitamin E for up to a week. This can help reduce the risk of bruising after the treatment.
What To Expect During BOTOX®
During your BOTOX® treatment, small, precise injections will be administered with a tiny needle in the designated areas. The entire procedure typically takes only 10-20 minutes, and the number of injections will depend on your unique anatomy and cosmetic goals.
What To Expect After BOTOX®
After your BOTOX® treatment, you might notice some mild bruising, which will gradually fade away. Avoid massaging the treated area. You should start seeing noticeable results within 7-10 days, with effects lasting up to six months.
