Before your appointment, we recommend:

Wrinkle Relaxers (Botox/Xeomin/Dysport)
These treatments work by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles that cause expression lines, allowing the skin to smooth and soften over time.
Smooth Wrinkles. Prevent New Ones. Look Naturally Refreshed.
You'd be surprised, but tox treatments are some of the most misunderstood aesthetic treatments throughout clinics and medspas today.
Wrinkle relaxers like Botox® and Xeomin® are among the most trusted and effective treatments for reducing facial lines and helping prevent new wrinkles from forming. These treatments work by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles that cause expression lines, allowing the skin to smooth and soften over time.
That's the key: consistent, long-term use fixes the wrinkles you have today, and prevents new ones from taking hold.
The result is a more refreshed, rested appearance—without changing the way you naturally look or express yourself. The old sitcom lore of a "frozen face" means that someone's actually been over treated, potentially beyond what is recommended by the manufacturer. This could lead to early resistance or uneven results.
At Oregon Medical & Laser, treatments are performed with a focus on precision, natural-looking results, and individualized care, helping you maintain confidence while preserving your natural facial movement.
Botox® brand vs. Xeomin®
The main differences are subtle and typically related to formulation, but the functional active ingredient is the same across all tox treatments.
Botox®
widely recognized brand (that's primarily what you're paying for)
long track record of use with VERY few side effects for the average patient
Xeomin®
purified formulation without accessory proteins - this is a game changer, and why Gwyneth Paltrow was even the spokesperson and public image of Xeomin, for years, due to it's clean "naked" molecule
sometimes preferred for patients who want a simpler formulation
Our providers will help determine the best option for your individual goals and any treatment history you've had with injectables.
Our "wrinkle-free-guarantee" only applies to Xeomin, however. Patients treated with Xeomin receive up to six complimentary 'touch-up' units within 14 days from their original treatment date to make sure they have the best natural look.
