Botox for smile lines in Franklin, KY

Botox

Fine lines, frown lines, how-did-those-get-there lines. Whatever you call them, there's a solution at Platinum Sculpt. Botox smoothes wrinkles on the forehead, treats the lines in between the eyes, and improves the look of crow's feet. Or whatever you call them.

This minimally invasive, FDA-approved procedure requires zero downtime, so you can come in for a quick treatment on your lunch break. And our nurses and physician assistants are experts in administering it correctly. They use a very fine needle to inject Botox into the face muscles, totally reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

Botox FAQs

What is Botox?

Botox Cosmetic is an FDA-approved prescription product that temporarily improves the look of both moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, moderate to severe crow's feet, and forehead lines in adults. Unlike a face lift or other type of invasive facial rejuvenation procedure, this treatment takes minutes and requires zero downtime.

How does Botox work?

Using a very fine needle, Botox is injected into the facial muscles that are responsible for unpleasant wrinkles and fine lines and relaxes the muscles. The ingredients in Botox block the signal from the nerve to the muscle, and therefore lower its ability to contract and create unpleasant wrinkles.

How much does Botox cost?

The cost depends on you and your needs. Everybody's a little different. Our professionals will work with you to tailor a treatment package based on exactly what your needs are.

How long does Botox usually last?

The results of the treatment can last anywhere from 3-6 months. Several variables can affect how long the results last. As the product wears away, muscle action returns slowly, and the previously treated lines and wrinkles might start to reappear, and you may need another treatment. A few of the factors that may lessen or prolong the results are: your age, sun damage, condition of skin, facial structure and expressions, diet, and your previous experiences with Botox and other wrinkle relaxers.

When will I see results?

You might start to notice Botox results within 72 hours with the maximum result noticeable at 14 days. Results might vary.

Is Botox safe?

Botox Cosmetic is FDA-approved and injections are relatively safe when conducted by a skilled injector. It has proven to be an effective and valuable restorative protein when dosage, frequency of treatment, and range of treated clinical conditions are considered. The best way to make sure you receive the results you are wanting is to only get injections from a highly experienced provider, such as the medical and nursing professionals at Platinum Sculpt.

Who should not receive Botox?

While most individuals aged 18 to 65 are excellent candidates for Botox and wrinkle relaxers, you should not use Botox if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a skin infection or other condition in the area to be treated, are allergic to any ingredients in Botox, Dysport, or any other botulinum toxin brand, have had a facial surgery, have trouble swallowing, or have weakness in your forehead muscles. If you have any concerns regarding whether or not you might be a good candidate, one of our consultants will be happy to answer any questions you might have. With any medical procedures, it is best to discuss the procedure with your physician before starting treatment.
