Botox is a minimally invasive injectable used for facial skin rejuvenation. It is very effective in reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Patients looking for Botox in Louisville prefer the services performed at our skin care clinic.

How Does Botox Work?

Certain facial muscles are repeatedly used to form the same facial expressions and movements, creating wrinkles in the skin. Botox is a neuromodulator composed of botulinum toxin. It blocks the nerve signals responsible for facial muscle contraction. This allows muscles to relax, smoothing out facial lines and wrinkles.

Ideal Candidates for Botox Treatment

Botox is recommended for patients with fine lines and wrinkles. Patients whose stiff facial muscles need to relax and get back to their ideal resting state are excellent candidates for Botox treatment.

Candidates should have realistic expectations. Ideal candidates are willing to come in for maintenance treatments for lasting results.

Your Consultation

During your consultation, we will listen to your facial concerns and goals. A physical examination will be performed to assess your skin health and treatment areas.

After checking your medical records, we will create a personalized Botox treatment plan that can achieve your facial goals. We will explain the treatment plan and answer all of your questions.

While Botox can be administered by a general practitioner, a medical practice that focuses on facial aesthetics is far better qualified to provide the best results. A common concern for many is that its relaxing effect on facial muscles might have an adverse affect on facial expressions. Our patients can be confident that our expertise allows us to achieve the natural-looking results they desire.

It is also recommended to avoid applying makeup and drinking alcohol for at least 24 hours.

The price of a Botox injection may vary depending on the treatment plan. The total cost may be affected by the amount of Botox used and the number of injection sites.

Patient Testimonials

"I can honestly say that I am impressed"

“I have had Ultherapy treatment and I can honestly say that I am impressed. Each treatment brings an immediate tightening effect and then over the next few months you see your skin continue to improve. It is excellent at stimulating the deeper skin layers. The collagen in my face gets a major boost – and so does my confidence level! This is a treatment that actually produces real and noticeable results. I now have a maintenance treatment on a yearly basis. The treatment is completely tolerable with no downtime. In my opinion, there are not too many treatments available that can give you impressive results and no time out for healing, you’re good to go. You should approach the treatment with realistic expectations and afterwards be pleasantly surprised. It is not a miracle worker, but it just might be the next closest thing. My experience has been completely positive and I love to get a big bang for my buck. Ultherapy is an amazing treatment and a very good investment. Aging is inevitable, but who says you can’t do it gracefully and at a slower rate. I will also say that it is incredibly important to have it performed by a trusted provider who is well trained with this procedure. Abby has both the credentials as well as the experience with this treatment and I trust her without reservation. If you are considering Ultherapy, make an appointment with Abby today.”
