The aesthetic medicine specialists at FoRM Health in Portland, Oregon, advocate for a natural approach to beauty & anti-aging. Injectables are an excellent addition to any aesthetic regimen and are administered with careful consideration of your unique facial structure and goals.
Dr. Kai Herman recommends combining these procedures with other services, such as PRF skin rejuvenation and cosmetic laser, to achieve natural, long-lasting results.
Neuromodulator (BOTOX® Cosmetic, Xeomin®) Injections
Reduce the appearance of unwanted wrinkles and fine lines with neuromodulator injections using popular, safe injectables such as BOTOX and Xeomin. Neuromodulators target the nerves within facial muscles to relax the muscle and overlying skin, yielding a smoother, more youthful appearance. Neuromodulator injections are ideal for those seeking quick results.
Areas That Can Be Treated With Neuromodulator Injections
The most commonly treated areas include the “11s,” or vertical frown lines, crow’s feet, eyebrows, and horizontal forehead creases. However, neuromodulators can be used throughout the face. Neuromodulators may also help reduce headaches caused by muscle tension in appropriate cases.
How to Get Started
We recommend a 15 min complimentary consultation prior to your procedure to discuss your goals, treatment expectations, and answer any questions you might have. Consultations are offered via telemedicine or in-person. The procedure may be performed the same day if desired; please schedule a 1-hour new aesthetic appointment, which will incur a minimum $50 charge, even if you don’t opt for the procedure.

Yes, these injections are generally very safe and tolerated by most. However, they do carry a slightly higher risk profile than the other aesthetic procedures we offer. Risks include bruising, an allergic or hypersensitivity reaction to the neuromodulator, and the potential for an asymmetric response. Patients with a history of medication sensitivity.
Before the procedure, avoid over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen, Advil, naproxen, Aleve, and aspirin for one week before your appointment to minimize bruising. Fish oil should also be avoided. If you are taking a prescription medication, please consult your prescribing doctor before discontinuing it before this procedure. Post-care instructions include avoiding exercise, alcohol, or excessive touching of your face for 24 hours. We recommend waiting at least 1 week from treatment before receiving laser and other aesthetic procedures over the treated region.
