Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions about aesthetic treatments in McMinnville and Yamhill County, answered.
We offer four FDA-approved wrinkle reducers at our McMinnville clinic: Xeomin, Dysport, DAXXIFY, and Jeuveau. Most med spas only carry Botox and Dysport, but having the full range lets us match the right product to your needs. DAXXIFY is worth knowing about—it lasts up to 6 months, roughly twice as long as traditional options.
Most wrinkle reducers—Botox, Xeomin, Dysport, and Jeuveau—last 3-4 months. You'll start seeing results within 2 weeks, with the full effect around week 6. The exception is DAXXIFY, which uses peptide technology to last up to 6 months for most patients.
Yes. FDA-approved hyaluronic acid fillers have a 99.96% safety rate, with adverse events occurring in less than 0.04% of procedures. Over 5.3 million filler procedures were performed in the U.S. in 2023, and patient satisfaction rates exceed 85% in clinical trials. That said, injector experience matters—always choose a provider with proper training and credentials.
It depends on the filler type. Hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane and RHA last 6-18 months depending on the treatment area. Radiesse typically lasts 12-18 months. Sculptra works differently—it stimulates your own collagen production and results can last 2+ years with a series of treatments.
Look for a provider with medical credentials (NP, PA, or MD), years of injection experience, and a range of product options—not just one brand of everything. You want someone who can recommend the right treatment for your specific concerns rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
All four are FDA-approved neurotoxins that relax facial muscles to reduce wrinkles, but they have different characteristics. Xeomin has no additives, which can be better for patients who've developed resistance. Dysport kicks in faster—often within 2-3 days. DAXXIFY lasts up to 6 months. Jeuveau is specifically formulated for cosmetic use. The best choice depends on your anatomy and goals.
