What is Botox?

Botox, also known as botulinum toxin, is a protein that can be used cosmetically or medically to block nerve pathways that tell the muscles to contract. For cosmetic uses, Botox in Chicago is primarily injected into areas of the face that cause dynamic expression lines. This relaxes the facial muscles, reducing muscle activity in the areas of the face where wrinkles and lines form.

What are the benefits of Botox?

Botox is a great advancement for treatment of wrinkles, lines, crow’s feet and other signs of facial aging. Botox can give you a younger and softer appearance without the downtime of surgery.

Botox is also often used to treat hyperhidrosis (excess sweating in the armpits and other regions) and migraine headaches.

This injectable is not ideal for treatment of moderate to deep lines in the cheek area, undereye hollows, or thin lips. For these issues and more, dermal fillers are typically the more effective option.

Is Botox painful?

Botox is noninvasive and relatively painless. The procedure is completed within a half an hour. If necessary, we take the appropriate measures to numb the area ahead of time, making the patient comfortable throughout the Botox treatment session.

How long is the downtime for Botox?

There is little to no downtime for Botox. There can be mild bruising and/or redness around the site of injection which should go down in a matter of hours. The patient can get back to work or go home right after the Botox treatment, making this procedure incredibly convenient.

How long does Botox last and when will I begin to see results?

The results of Botox usually appear in about 3 to 7 days after the injections are performed and last about 4 to 6 months. To maintain results, the patient will have to get another Botox treatment once the effects start to disappear. Patients who regularly get Botox treatments can enjoy longer-lasting effects over time.

Are you a good candidate for Botox?

Botox is a great option for patients who do not want a facelift procedure to rejuvenate their facial skin. Patients with healthy skin and no severe skin conditions are ideal candidates for Botox treatment. Skin infections must be treated before patients can come in for Botox injections.

Relatively healthy patients that are looking to change signs of aging and dynamic facial expressions with realistic goals are good candidates for Botox. Book a consultation to find out if you qualify.

Thinking about booking a consultation?

If this is your first time getting Botox, it is vital that we discuss your aesthetic goals, medical history, and any additional questions that you have regarding the procedure. Tell us about any medications or supplements that you are currently taking.

We will closely examine your facial skin, and we will walk you through the details of the Botox injection process to ensure that you are prepared. We will also discuss aftercare at this time.

Depending on our evaluation, we will customize a treatment plan that can maximize the effects of Botox and achieve your goals. The cost of the Botox treatment plan will be estimated during the consultation. Our wonderful Aesthetic Nurse, Kristine Kitchener, will make sure that your results are natural and beautiful.

Since there is little to no downtime or recovery time needed after the procedure, patients often simply continue on with their regular day with little to no discomfort.

What should I avoid after treatment?

Patients should avoid applying direct pressure on their face for at least 8 hours and must not massage their face, since this could cause the injected Botox to spread to the surrounding facial areas. Patients should also avoid any other procedure that involves the face for at least two weeks after injections.
