About Botox

What Should I Expect with Botox?
Wrinkle relaxers are ideal for men and women who have noticeable "11" lines between the eyes (glabellar lines), as well as forehead wrinkles or Crow's feet. Given that BOTOX and Dysport are administered during a fast, outpatient treatment, your injections can often be carried out during your consultation at our Chicago, IL office. The formula will be injected into the problem areas of your forehead or face using a fine needle. Your injections will only take a few minutes to complete, and you shouldn't experience anything more than quick, minor discomfort. Following your appointment, you can get right back to your normal daily activities. You might see some slight bruising, redness, and swelling in the treatment areas, but these symptoms are temporary. Over the next 2 – 3 days, you should begin to see your smooth enhancements with results lasting up to four months. To maintain your best outcomes, we recommend scheduling touch-up appointments every 3 – 4 months.
Botox FAQ
Is BOTOX a wrinkle relaxer?
Yes, BOTOX is a wrinkle relaxer, or what is called a neuromodulator – commonly known as a muscle relaxer. It works by relaxing the facial muscles in the targeted area to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving you smoother-looking skin.
Does Botox really work?
Yes, as evidenced by the millions of individuals who use wrinkle relaxers like BOTOX and Dysport to reduce fine lines, Crow’s feet, and wrinkles in the face. Wrinkle relaxers work to prevent the lines that form on the forehead, and around the eyes and mouth when we express emotion in our faces (smiling, frowning, laughing).
How long does Botox last?
The effective window of wrinkle relaxers will vary from person to person, but you can expect the results to last between three and six months, depending on which treatment you choose. After that time, the normal muscle action returns (along with the lines and wrinkles), and you’ll need another treatment.
Does Botox hurt?
The needles used to inject wrinkle relaxers are very small, with most patients reporting little to no discomfort at all, other than a slight pinch or pressure.
