Non-Surgical Cosmetic Treatments at West Linn Aesthetics near Portland: Botox, Fillers & Microneedling for Youthful Skin

Despite the continuously evolving landscape of cosmetic treatments, Botox, dermal fillers, and microneedling have consistently maintained their positions as the top three most popular aesthetic, anti-aging treatments. And you can receive them all right here at West Linn Aesthetics… a one-stop-shop located near Portland! We specialize in the best aesthetic treatments to enhance your skin’s appearance without surgery.

Botox near Portland

What is Botox?

Neurotoxins such as Botox, Dysport, and Xeomen are all forms of wrinkle relaxers. These Neurotoxins have different brand names with slightly different costs, potencies, and formulations but provide the same results using the same active ingredient: Botulinum Toxin A. 

Why is it popular? 

Botox remains a popular treatment due to its ability to reduce the appearance of wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing specific muscles, particularly around the eyes and forehead. It is extremely effective in smoothing out those stubborn lines that indicate aging, making it a great option for those seeking a more youthful appearance without having to undergo invasive treatments. 

How we perform this treatment:

At West Linn Aesthetics, your expert injector reviews your medical history to ensure Botox is the right treatment for you. We ensure your comfort during this fairly painless process and mark the exact locations on your face to inject, using a very small needle to minimize discomfort. Post-treatment, light redness or swelling is common for about 15 minutes and potential bruising can last up to 1 week. We will advise you to avoid lying down or exercising for 4 hours after treatment and avoid UV exposure for 1-2 weeks. 

Filler near Portland

What is Filler?

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected under the skin to create a smoother or fuller appearance; a natural way to fill in hollowed out facial features or wrinkles as well as stimulate collagen. 

Why is it popular?

Dermal fillers remain a staple in aesthetic treatments for their effectiveness in adding volume and contouring the face, as many signs of aging are due to volume loss. They are extremely versatile in their ability to address various concerns, making them a fan favorite. Results typically appear right away and there is little to no recovery time.

How we perform this treatment:

At West Linn Aesthetics, we understand the struggle of dealing with volume loss around the eyes, cheeks and lips that can make us unhappy with how we’re aging. That’s why we offer the best dermal filler brands, including Juvéderm® fillers, Radiesse®, and Restylane. 

This treatment only takes about 30-60 minutes, and aside from experiencing slight swelling immediately after, there is no recovery time. During your free, personalized consultation, we thoroughly educate you on the benefits and risks of dermal fillers. During treatment, we use small needles to minimize discomfort and provide the option to apply a layer of numbing cream to the area(s) being treated. Filler is injected into predetermined areas. We advise avoiding sunbathing and cold outdoor activities immediately after. 

Microneedling near Portland

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling utilizes a series of very tiny needles to boost collagen production with minimal downtime. These needles create micro-channels in the skin, promoting the generation of collagen and new skin cells while causing minimal disruption to your outer layer of skin. Microneedling is used to treat fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, and more. 

Why is it popular?

Microneedling is a commonly pursued treatment due to its effectiveness in treating stubborn scars and lines with results that can last up to several years. Those who receive treatment experience smoothing, resurfacing, and regeneration of elasticity in the skin. It is also particularly popular among those who struggle with acne scarring as it delivers long-lasting results.  

How we perform this treatment:

At West Linn Aesthetics, after we determine that microneedling is the right treatment for you, we sterilize your skin and apply a numbing cream. Our advanced aesthetician will move the microneedling device over your skin at a consistent speed. Patients have reported feeling little discomfort. After your treatment, we apply a healing serum and SPF to your skin and discuss all recommended post-care to ensure lasting results!

Botox, dermal filler, and microneedling remain staples at our med spa due to their proven effectiveness and consistent client satisfaction. We bring these treatments to you with expert care and personalized service according to your goals, ensuring you achieve the best results possible.
