BOTOX® Cosmetic

One of the most exciting developments in cosmetic medicine over the past decade has been the use of BOTOX® Cosmetic to improve the appearance of or even prevent fine line wrinkles. BOTOX® Cosmetic is incredibly easy to use, affordable and effective. Our NSPS providers utilize BOTOX® to soften crow’s feet, forehead furrows, and frown lines (the dreaded “elevens”) for a softer, more youthful appearance. It is also used to help with pain associated with clenching and grinding and facial contouring.


What is Botox?

What is Botox?

Botox® Cosmetic safely and effectively treats wrinkles around the eyes and forehead. The product relaxes the tiny muscles in the face responsible for wrinkles that come from facial movements such as frown lines, worry lines and crow’s feet. This helps smooth the appearance of these wrinkles and gives the skin a softer, more youthful look with results that typically last 3-6 months.


BOTOX Cosmetic Treatment

BOTOX Cosmetic Treatment

At our practice in Chicago, BOTOX® injection appointments typically take only a few minutes out of your day. Our providers use a tiny needle to inject BOTOX® into precisely targeted muscles. The providers have extensive experience in surgical and non-surgical rejuvenation of the face which allows them to safely and precisely visualize the muscles being treated.


A Beginners Guide to Botox


How Much BOTOX Will I Need?

How Much BOTOX Will I Need?

The amount of product needed and the number of injections will depend on the area being treated and the strength of the muscles being targeted.


Is There Downtime After BOTOX Injections?

Is There Downtime After BOTOX Injections?

There is little to no recovery or downtime associated with BOTOX®. The small needle and our careful technique result in very little bruising or swelling. There is typically a small area of redness associated with each injection site which goes away quickly, particularly with the help of a cool compress. Most patients go back to work and their normal routine immediately, without anyone knowing that they’ve had BOTOX®.


BOTOX Results

BOTOX Results

It typically takes 5-7 days for results to show and up to two weeks to see the full effect of your BOTOX® treatment. Once BOTOX® takes effect, you can expect to look smoother and more vibrant for 3 to 4 months.

Regularly scheduled BOTOX® treatments prevent the muscle from regaining its full strength and may prolong the results or reduce the amount of injection required to achieve the desired effect with subsequent treatments.

What Our
Patients Say

“I was in Chicago to see family and this place has good Yelp reviews and was literally one block from my hotel so I went for my Botox touch up. Jessica explained everything and she has the lightest touch I have ever had! Loved the special attention and I will make her my stop even if I have to travel more than one block!”
