Wells Neuromodulator Offerings Include Botox, Dysport & Xeomin
What Is Botox?
Botox is a prescription neuromodulator medicine that is injected into facial muscles to keep the muscles from contracting and forming wrinkles.
Botox is used both as a corrective and preventative treatment. Botox is proven effective at delaying the formation of the fine lines that lead to wrinkles and furrows.
If you are just beginning to think about facial rejuvenation, Botox (or Dysport) is the perfect place to start. You will begin to see results after the first few days, with full correction after 2 weeks.
Botox is safe and quick without any real downtime. You can even have it on your lunch break and be back to work without anyone knowing. Call 859.255.6649 today to schedule your Botox consultation with Dr. Henry Wells, Jr.!
What Is Botox Used For?
Botox is used to improve the look of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and other imperfections like:
- Crows Feet Lines: The outside corners of the eyes
- Frown Lines or 11’s: Vertical lines between the eyebrows, also known as glabellar lines
- Brow Furrows: Horizontal wrinkles on the forehead
- Neck Bands: Vertical pronounced bands in the neck
- Chemical Brow Lift
- Lip Flip
- TMJ
- Gummy Smile
- Bunny Lines
- Platysmal Bands
How Does Botox Cosmetic Work?
Botox is used to lift and shape the brow and to soften or reduce lines in areas such as the forehead, around the eyes, above the lip, or in the jawline. A Botox procedure:
- Relaxes muscles in the face and neck by blocking nerve transmission at the site of injection.
- By relaxing these muscles they are not able to contract and wrinkle.
- This has a visible smoothing effect on the skin which provides a more refreshed and youthful appearance.
- A great place to start with Botox is to treat your “11’s’”, which are the two vertical lines between your eyebrows. This will give you a refreshed and less concerned look.
- You will see full results in 7-10 days
- Immediately after your Botox treatment you may have redness from the injection site.
- There usually is no noticeable evidence that you have had a Botox treatment within a few hours.
- A very small percentage of patients get minor bruising.
- Botox results usually last three to four months.
Botox is used for a Chemical Brow Lift which is an inexpensive temporary pre-brow lift option that costs from $63 to $147. This depends on the patient and the severity of their lines and wrinkles. This is appropriate if you are not ready for a surgical brow lift but are beginning to see signs of aging in your upper brow area.
What To Expect With Botox Injections:
Botox will only be injected into specific muscles around your treatment area. By selecting only the areas where you need correction our nurse injectors will ensure you have a natural looking result.
- Our advanced injectors know exactly how to not over inject so you won’t have a ‘frozen’ appearance.
- Botox injections take about 10 to 15 minutes per treatment area and are done in our office.
Alternative Uses For Botox:
Susan Wells RN, MS, CANS is trained and experienced in advanced aesthetic injecting techniques. She is also experienced in Botox treatment of the masetters or the muscles in the jaw area, which is perfect for treating TMJ.
- Botox will relax this muscle and keep them from involuntarily clenching while you are sleeping.
- This simple treatment will help you sleep and even reduce headaches caused by TMJ tension.
- A side effect of this treatment is that the jawline will appear less boxy once it is relaxed.

Patient Testimonial
"I have been going to Wells Plastic Surg & skincare since 2013. Dr. Henry Wells did my breast augmentation and I can’t say enough great things about him, Susan and the staff. I am very pleased with my results. He gave me suggestions after listening to what look I was trying to accomplish. He has great bedside manners and truly wants the best for you personally and your overall health. I became a patient of Susan Wells not long after my breast surgery. I still make appointments with her and she is incredible at what she does! I get botox injections on my forehead/facial area and Restylane injected into my lips. I always feel so good after my appointments. She is so nice and very professional. She does not rush you at your appointment and is very talented! She loved what she does and that shows! I highly suggest Henry & Susan!! :)"
