Social Aesthetics Indy

Social Aesthetics Indy is a medical aesthetic provider in Avon, Indiana. The business describes itself as Indy's premier aesthetic provider. Visits begin with a complimentary consultation, held in person or virtually with a nurse injector. The practice also trains RNs, PAs, NPs and MDs through two-day Level I and Level II neurotoxin and dermal filler courses offered throughout the year, plus hands-on training for experienced providers; training costs depend on individual needs and travel distance.

Neurotoxin injections soften forehead lines, lines between the brows, crow's feet and lines around the mouth, and the practice also treats a gummy smile. Injections are also routinely given for TMJ, bruxism and migraines. Dermal fillers smooth lines around the nose and mouth, reduce vertical lip lines, enhance the lips, soften a chin crease and help with facial symmetry. Sculptra is a biostimulatory injectable that prompts the body to produce its own collagen, used for facial wrinkles and skin tightness.

Each visit includes a cost estimate before any service is performed. Optional topical numbing ointment is available at no added charge, and new clients receive a sample of Arnica salve for bruising. Injectors text clients one to seven days after an appointment to check on progress. Results may take seven to 14 days to appear, and any product used at a touch-up appointment is charged. According to the business, dermal filler results are seen right away and last about a year on average.

Botox and dermal fillers are not offered to pregnant or nursing clients, or to anyone with a history of neuromuscular disorders such as myasthenia gravis. Clients are advised to stop blood-thinning medications two weeks before Botox or filler. After Botox, clients should not lie down or rub the area for four hours and should avoid strenuous exercise for six hours. After fillers, clients should avoid massage, strenuous exercise, extreme sun or heat, and excess alcohol or salt for 24 hours.

Appointments are available daytime, evening and on weekends, and requests receive a response within 24 hours. Botox Socials bring a host and at least five guests together for injectable services, with discounts for the host and a gift bag for each guest. Private appointments and socials are also offered at Clean Slate Salon in Avon and at Utopia Salon in Covington, Indiana. Payment options include cash, major credit cards, Apple Pay, Venmo, CashApp and PayPal, but personal checks are not accepted. The Cherry financing program allows monthly payments, and Allé points, formerly Brilliant Distinctions, can be used toward Allergan brand injectables. Cosmetic services are not covered by insurance. Neurotoxin clients typically spend $350 to $500, and dermal filler clients typically spend $350 to $600, according to the business.

Takes a less-is-best approach and does not push clients to buy more product than they need.
