Botox® Cosmetic Treatments in Indiana

In Indiana, Botox® Cosmetic is becoming very popular as men and women alike experience this truly revolutionary wrinkle buster for themselves. Botox® Cosmetic actually lives up to the Hollywood hype by eliminating fine lines and wrinkles with simple, painless injections that are quick and easy and require no recovery time. The properties of Botox® Cosmetic have also been shown to reduce migraine headaches and excessive sweating of the palms and underarms. At both our Schererville and Valparaiso, Indiana, plastic surgery offices, Dr. Galante performs Botox® Cosmetic treatments to smooth frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead wrinkles.

Botox® Cosmetic treatments are injections of botulinum A toxin, which is simply a purified protein derived from botulism bacteria. The injections numb the nerves in our muscles so they cannot contract. Many Indiana patients find Botox® Cosmetic to be most effective on the wrinkles caused by facial movement. As the muscles relax and lay flat, our skin remains taut and smooth over the musculature. But don't worry, Botox® Cosmetic doesn't freeze your face or make you look like you're wearing a mask. You will still be able to laugh, smile and express human emotions; only your skin won't crinkle, crease and wrinkle when you do.

Before you begin a regular regimen of Botox® Cosmetic treatments at either of our Indiana cosmetic surgery offices, you will have a short consultation with Dr. Galante. Dr. Galante will discuss your treatment options, examine your skin and muscle tone, and determine areas of treatment.

With our two conveniently located cosmetic surgery offices in Northwest Indiana, you can schedule Botox® Cosmetic treatments to fit any hectic schedule. Treatments typically take between 10 and 30 minutes, and there is virtually no recovery time. A topical anesthetic can be used on your skin to reduce any discomfort from the injections. Most of our Indiana patients report very little discomfort from the procedure.

Results will be visible within a few days. You will want to keep your head elevated and upright and avoid touching the injection site for a few hours following your treatment to keep the serum at the treatment site. Results may last up to 6 months, at which point treatments can be repeated. As treatments continue, results will last longer.

Not everyone is a candidate for Botox® Cosmetic treatments in Indiana. Dr. Galante will discuss your expectations and evaluate your case during your consultation.

Since Botox® Cosmetic treatments are a cosmetic procedure, they are not covered by insurance and fees and expenses are solely the responsibility of the patient.
