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.
