Neuromodulators (Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, and others)
Dr. Kirn began using Botox® for cosmetic purposes in 1998, well before it became widely popular. Injectable treatments have been integral to the foundation of our practice from the very beginning. We maintain a meticulous record-keeping system for all treatments, which has been a key component of our success with neuromodulators as well as dermal fillers. This system ensures consistency in your treatment, even if you are seen by more than one of our providers.
All of our providers, including Dr. Kirn, Dr. Al Bayati, and our experienced nurse-injectors, have safely and effectively performed thousands of injections. We are also proud to offer the revolutionary NavaClick® system, which allows for extremely accurate dosing and features an ultra-small needle to minimize discomfort during treatment.
Am I a Candidate?
Candidates in Lexington, KY are adults who want to reduce the appearance of facial lines caused by repeated muscle movement. These include frown lines, forehead creases, or crow’s feet.Â
Neurotoxin treatment suitability depends on overall health, facial anatomy, muscle strength, and treatment goals. Patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neuromuscular conditions may not be candidates.Â
What to Expect During Your Botox Appointment
After a brief consultation to review medical history, facial movement, and cosmetic concerns, we will identify treatment areas and determine appropriate dosing based on muscle activity.Â
The skin is cleansed, and small amounts of Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin are injected into targeted facial muscles using fine needles designed to minimize discomfort. Each treatment is typically completed in thirty minutes.
Recovery
Recovery time is minimal. Most patients experience little to no downtime and return to normal routines the same day. Neurotoxin aftercare includes avoiding strenuous exercise, rubbing treated areas, or lying flat for several hours. Mild redness or swelling may occur but typically resolves quickly. Following recovery instructions helps support even, predictable results.
Cost of Botox and Dysport Injections
Neurotoxin pricing in Kentucky varies based on the number of units used, the areas treated, and the specific product selected. Exact pricing cannot be confirmed without an in-office assessment. Financing options may be available for patients planning ongoing cosmetic injection treatments.
