BOTOX® Cosmetic & Neurotoxins

in Evansville, IN

Introduction to BOTOX® Cosmetic & Neurotoxins

Some of the most impactful changes in facial appearance don’t come from volume or structure — they come from movement. The lines that form between the brows when you concentrate, the creases across the forehead when you raise your brows, the crow’s feet that deepen when you smile — these are dynamic wrinkles, formed by repeated muscle contractions over time.

BOTOX® Cosmetic and neurotoxin treatments at Conkright Aesthetics address dynamic wrinkles precisely where they originate — at the muscle level — relaxing targeted facial muscles to smooth expression lines and prevent new ones from forming. The result is a refreshed, more rested appearance that is natural-looking, not frozen.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is the #1 selling neurotoxin worldwide — the most researched, most requested, and most trusted injectable of its kind. It is the only product patients ask for by name, and it has been FDA-approved for cosmetic use for over 20 years.

Each neurotoxin treatment at Conkright Aesthetics is carefully customized by Dr. J. Michael Conkright’s team to your facial anatomy, muscle activity, and aesthetic goals — ensuring results that enhance your natural expression while softening unwanted lines.

What is a BOTOX & Wrinkle Relaxers?

Board-Certified Surgeon Serving Newburgh, Henderson, & Vanderburgh County

BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) is a purified protein derived from the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, manufactured by Allergan Aesthetics (an AbbVie company). When injected in very small, precisely targeted amounts into specific facial muscles, BOTOX® blocks the nerve signals that cause those muscles to contract — allowing them to relax and the overlying skin to smooth.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is the only product of its kind FDA-approved to treat all three of the most common areas of dynamic facial wrinkling:

  • Frown lines (glabellar lines) — the vertical lines between the brows
  • Forehead lines — the horizontal creases across the forehead
  • Crow’s feet — the lines that fan out from the outer corners of the eyes

In October 2024, BOTOX® Cosmetic also received FDA approval to treat moderate to severe platysmal bands — the vertical cords that can become prominent on the neck with age.

When administered by an experienced provider, BOTOX® does not affect your ability to smile, laugh, or otherwise show natural expression — it simply reduces the depth of unwanted dynamic lines.

The Gold Standard in Neurotoxins

BOTOX® Cosmetic

BOTOX® Cosmetic has been used therapeutically for more than 20 years, is approved in more than 75 countries, and remains the most studied botulinum toxin and one of the most widely researched medicines in the world.

It is trusted by providers at the highest level — with 95% of aesthetic specialists choosing BOTOX® Cosmetic for themselves, their friends, and their families.

Market research confirms that 77% of treated patients believe it is worth the cost, and 91% say they will continue using BOTOX® Cosmetic if their specialist recommends it. It was recently recognized as “Best Injectable” in the 2025 Cosmopolitan Readers’ Choice Beauty Awards.

At Conkright Aesthetics, BOTOX® Cosmetic is our preferred neurotoxin — chosen for its consistent, predictable performance, its extensive safety data, and its status as the product patients know, trust, and request by name.

Who Are the Best Candidates for BOTOX® and Neurotoxins?

BOTOX® is suitable for a wide range of patients — from those beginning preventative treatments in their late 20s or early 30s to those looking to soften more established lines. Good candidates include:

  • Individuals with dynamic wrinkles such as forehead lines, frown lines, or crow’s feet
  • Patients beginning to notice early signs of aging and wanting to prevent lines from deepening
  •  Those seeking a non-surgical, low-commitment treatment with minimal downtime and quick results
  • Patients who want subtle, natural-looking improvement rather than dramatic change
  • Anyone interested in a preventative anti-aging strategy — earlier treatment helps train muscles to relax, reducing line formation over time

A note on realistic expectations: The best time to start BOTOX® is not determined by age alone — lifestyle factors, genetics, sun exposure, and skin condition all play important roles. Dr. Conkright’s team will evaluate your individual anatomy and provide an honest recommendation about the most appropriate timing and approach for your goals.

What Are the Benefits of BOTOX® and Neurotoxins?

BOTOX® Cosmetic and neurotoxin treatments are among the most effective and widely trusted treatments for softening expression lines and maintaining a youthful appearance — without surgery or downtime. Benefits include:

How to Begin Your BOTOX® Journey

Your BOTOX® journey at Conkright Aesthetics begins with a personalized consultation. During your visit, you can expect:

  1. A detailed evaluation of your facial anatomy and muscle activity by Dr. Conkright’s team
  2. A discussion of your goals — whether preventative, corrective, or maintenance-focused
  3. A customized treatment plan, including recommended areas and dosage
  4. Pre-treatment guidelines, including medications to avoid to minimize bruising

What to Expect on the Day of BOTOX & Wrinkle Relaxers Treatment

BOTOX® appointments at Conkright Aesthetics are quick, comfortable, and fit easily into your day. During your visit, small amounts of BOTOX® Cosmetic are injected into targeted muscles using a very fine needle — a process that takes approximately 10–15 minutes depending on the number of areas treated.

Most patients describe the sensation as a small pinch or slight pressure. No anesthesia is required. Immediately after treatment, you may notice minor redness or swelling at the injection sites — this typically resolves within hours. There is no downtime, and you can return to normal activities right away.

Combining BOTOX® with Other Treatments

BOTOX® and dermal fillers together create what many refer to as a “liquid facelift” — addressing the two most common dimensions of facial aging simultaneously. BOTOX® relaxes dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement, while fillers restore lost volume and structural support. Combined, they allow for smoother skin, restored contour, and improved facial balance.

Your Guide to Post-BOTOX® Care

BOTOX® Recovery

One of the greatest advantages of BOTOX® is how easily it fits into your routine. There is no formal recovery period — most patients return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.

To ensure the best results:

  • Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas for several hours after treatment
  • Remain upright for at least 4 hours after treatment
  • Avoid strenuous exercise for the remainder of the day
  • Follow any additional aftercare instructions provided by Dr. Conkright’s team
