Cosmetic Dentist in Tigard, OR

We offer the following cosmetic services:

• Xeomin (aka “Botox”)

“Botox” is a nonsurgical treatment that can help minimize wrinkles, which commonly appear as fine lines on the forehead, brow, lips, or at the outer corners of the eyes.

• Lip fillers

Cosmetic fillers can enhance and revitalize your appearance by adding volume to certain areas of your face. The look creates a plump, youthful appearance.

• Dermal fillers

Dermal fillers are injectable substances that add volume and fullness to the skin. They are often made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance found in the body. Dermal fillers treat wrinkles, facial lines, and other signs of aging and can also enhance facial features, such as the lips or cheeks.

Dermal Filler Uses:

• Wrinkle reduction
• Lip augmentation
• Cheek enhancement
• Facial contouring
• Nasolabial fold treatment
• Marionette line treatment
• Hand rejuvenation

• Smooth Thread

PDO (Polydioxanone) smooth thread is a medical-grade thread used in cosmetic procedures. It is absorbed by the body over time, stimulating collagen production and improving skin elasticity. PDO smooth thread is often used for thread lifts, a minimally invasive procedure to tighten and lift sagging skin. It provides a natural-looking result with minimal downtime.

PDO Smooth Thread Uses:

• Facial thread lifts
• Skin tightening
• Wrinkle reduction
• Volume enhancement
• Jawline contouring
• Brow lifts

“Botox” and dermal fillers are both methods to reduce creases and wrinkles caused by facial expressions. The main difference is that “Botox” freezes muscles to avoid fine lines and wrinkles. Dermal fillers are injected under the skin. Hyaluronic acid or other similar substances are used to fill in or plump up areas that have lost their volume and smoothness, which includes wrinkles.

“Botox” results can last anywhere between 3 to 4 months whereas dermal filler results vary, depending on the type of filler used.

Botox and dermal fillers can be combined in one treatment to achieve certain results. For example, a client could use “Botox” to correct crows feet lines and filler to soften smile lines around the mouth.
