Chicago Botox
Botox, originally developed to control muscle spasms in the face, is now used as a non-surgical cosmetic treatment to relax musculature of certain areas of the face. Deep wrinkles around the eyes and forehead are softened creating a more youthful look with fewer lines and wrinkles. After treatment, the skin remains smooth and unwrinkled, while the untreated facial muscles contract in a normal fashion, allowing normal facial expression and feeling to be unaffected.
The effects can last for up to four months and injections require no more than ten minutes to administer, with very little or no bruising or swelling. There have been suggested additional benefits of Botox, which include relief from migraine headaches and extreme sweating.
A consultation with one of our surgeons will help you decide if Botox will produce the results you are looking for. Click here to fill out our contact form. A team member from our staff of dedicated professionals will get back to you shortly.
