Botox Injectable
Botox is a popular injectable cosmetic treatment for skin rejuvenation. When patients need to address fine lines with Botox in Carmel and Indianapolis, they visit My Plastic Surgery Group.
About Botox Cosmetic
Botox Cosmetic is a purified protein. Very low doses are administered through a few tiny injections directly into those muscles that are responsible for frown lines. Botox blocks the release of the chemical in the body that causes these muscles to contract and therefore enabling them to relax. This process makes the skin appear smoother and is available to men and women in Indianapolis and Carmel.
Is Botox Right for Me?
Botox treatment is appropriate for patients ages 18 to 65. Healthy patients with fine wrinkles are good candidates for Botox treatment. The best candidates have realistic expectations regarding the results of Botox.
Botox Cosmetic is an ideal treatment for crow’s feet around the eyes, frown lines between the brows, horizontal forehead lines, bunny lines on the nose, chin wrinkles, harsh vertical neck bands, and more.
Botox is a good option for candidates who do not want to undergo a facelift procedure to treat their facial wrinkles. It is completely non-surgical and does not require any scalpels or incisions.
Patients who want to treat their signs of aging are ideal candidates for Botox injections. The best candidates are patients who are committed to a healthy skincare regimen.
If you want to treat moderate or harsh facial wrinkles, it is better to come in for dermal filler injections, since Botox is best for fine lines. Our fillers can treat the nasolabial folds, marionette lines, parentheses lines, and more.

Botox Facts:
1. There is no anesthesia required. However, your injector may give you a cold pack or anesthetic cream to place over the injection area a few minutes before the procedure. This will make you comfortable during your Botox treatment session.
2. You may experience tenderness, swelling, bruising, redness, bleeding, pain, and infection at the sight of injection. We will give you aftercare instructions to help address these symptoms.
3. You may notice a softening in the appearance of your frown lines within 1 to 2 days, but, more commonly, it will be 5 to 7 days before there are any noticeable changes.
4. Although they vary by individual, results have been shown to last 3-6 months. It is recommended that patients get maintenance treatments to continue enjoying the benefits of Botox treatment.
5. There is very little, if any, down time. This procedure can be done on your way to work or on your lunch hour. You will need to avoid heavy sun exposure and putting any sort of pressure on the treatment area for a time.
