Achieve ageless beauty with Botox in Indianapolis at SHarper Plastic Surgery, Spa + Salt Lounge. Botox offers a minimally-invasive solution to diminish unwanted dynamic wrinkles and expression lines, helping you reclaim smooth, youthful skin. Our expert team, led by Dr. Jaime Harper, tailors each treatment to your goals, ensuring natural, stunning results.
Botox is a purified protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It works by temporarily blocking nerve signals in targeted muscles, relaxing them, and reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and creases. Commonly used to address crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines, Botox offers a smoother, rejuvenated complexion. Our skilled team customizes each treatment to your unique facial structure and desired outcomes, ensuring a refreshed look that still preserves your natural expressions.
Botox is functionally a muscle relaxant, but aesthetically, it’s an expression editor. It targets the specific muscles that pull the skin into folds during daily expression, softening the lines that can make you look perpetually tired, angry, or stressed even when you feel fine.
At SHarper Plastic Surgery, we use Botox to correct:
Most patients at our Indianapolis, Avon, Fishers, and Nora locations fall into two categories: those looking to smooth existing lines (correction) and those looking to stop them from forming (pre-juvenation).
You’re likely a good fit if you notice faint lines remaining on your skin even when your face is at rest, your foundation or powder begins to crack and settle into forehead lines or crow's feet by midday, you naturally animate strongly when you speak, which accelerates collagen breakdown in high-movement areas, and you are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding and have no neuromuscular disorders.
We see many "SHarper Babes" in their late 20s starting "Baby Botox" for pre-juvenation. These are smaller, preventative doses that train facial muscles to not contract as aggressively. This preserves the skin's smooth texture for decades longer than correction alone.
Embrace your best confidence. Our board-certified surgeon and master injector are here to guide you toward an impeccably and authentically youthful appearance with personalized care and advanced solutions. Begin your journey with a consultation, and take the first step to a vibrantly confident future.

Botox, medically known as onabotulinumtoxinA, functions by interrupting the communication between nerve endings and muscles. It prevents the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contractions. By inhibiting nerve-muscle communication, Botox causes temporary muscle paralysis, reducing dynamic wrinkles formed by repetitive facial expressions. The result is a smoother, more youthful appearance. Our medical staff administers Botox in Indianapolis with the utmost precision to ensure natural-looking results.
Botox also plays a preventive role in aging by addressing the root cause of dynamic wrinkles. By halting the facial muscle contractions that lead to creasing, Botox prevents the formation of new wrinkles. With Botox Indianapolis SHarper Babes can start treatments in their late twenties to early thirties to proactively maintain youthful skin and delay the onset of wrinkles. Our expert team curates tailored treatment plans for age-defying results.
During your personalized consultation for Botox in Indianapolis, our medical staff, led by Dr. Harper, carefully evaluates your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals. This allows us to identify the treatment areas, select the appropriate units of Botox for your needs, and create a tailored plan for optimal results. On the treatment day, a fine needle is used to inject Botox into targeted muscles, often after applying a numbing gel. The procedure is quick and typically requires only minutes to complete, following which you can resume your daily activities.
Botox is a lunchtime procedure with a "slow reveal" result. You won’t look different immediately after leaving the chair, which is often preferred for discretion.
On days 3-5, you’ll begin to feel a slight restriction in the treated muscles. The skin will start to look smoother as the underlying tension fades. By day 14, your results should be fully settled. We recommend scheduling any big events (weddings, photoshoots) at least two weeks out from your initial appointment for this reason to ensure the product has taken full effect.
Your body naturally metabolizes the protein over time. As muscle movement gradually returns, lines will slowly reappear. This happens around 3-4 months after your initial treatment. Patients who maintain a regular schedule (3–4 times per year) often find their results last longer, as the treated muscles weaken from disuse and the overlying skin has time to regenerate without constant folding.
After Botox, common side effects are minimal and may include temporary redness, swelling, or mild bruising at the injection sites. These typically subside within a few hours to a few days, allowing you to resume your daily routine easily. There’s no significant downtime, making Botox an ideal “lunchtime” procedure that won’t disrupt your schedule. However, strenuous activities should be avoided for the first 24 hours, and you should avoid lying down or touching the injection sites for about four hours post-treatment.

Transparency is the foundation of trust, which is why we price Botox strictly by the unit rather than by the area. This ensures you only pay for the exact dosage your anatomy requires. Our standard pricing is $14 per unit, though patients can immediately unlock a rate of $12.60 per unit by joining our SHarper Membership.
While total costs vary based on your unique muscle strength and aesthetic goals, most patients find that treating forehead lines requires approximately 10–20 units, while robust frown lines (the "11s") typically need 15–25 units. Dr. Jaime Harper will assess your muscle movement and provide an exact quote before any treatment begins, so you never have to guess about your investment.
In a market flooded with quick-fix injectors, SHarper Plastic Surgery, Spa + Salt Lounge distinguishes itself by prioritizing deep anatomical knowledge over high-volume transactions. Your treatment is overseen by Dr. Jaime Harper, a Master Injector and trainer, alongside board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Stanley Harper, ensuring that every injection is guided by a surgical understanding of facial musculature rather than a basic template. We reject the "frozen" look in favor of a "you, but rested" aesthetic, preserving your natural expression while eliminating the shadow patterns that age the face.
Beyond the clinical results, we invite you into the "SHarper Babe" community: a holistic wellness environment where aesthetic medicine is just one part of a lifestyle that includes our salt lounge and long-term skin health strategies.
Botox injections are typically well-tolerated and cause minimal discomfort. A fine needle is used, and any discomfort is brief. We can also apply a numbing gel for added comfort.
The number of units depends on your individual goals and facial structure. Our team customizes each treatment plan to ensure naturalized results.
The Botox results start becoming noticeable within a few days, with the full effects appearing in about one to two weeks.
Botox results typically last around three to four months. Factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and muscle activity can influence the longevity of your results.
To maintain optimal results, Botox in Indianapolis is generally recommended every three to four months. However, our medical staff can recommend the ideal frequency for you.
Our medical staff carefully adjusts the dosage and placement to prevent your facial muscles from freezing completely, allowing you to maintain control over your expressions.
