BOTOX - WRINKLE REMOVAL

Background
Botox is an injectible that can smooth wrinkles and provide you with more youthful, rejuvenated skin. Chicago Specialists associated staff, understanding and mastering the effects of Botox early on, started administering treatments of it for wrinkle reduction in 1995. Botox has since reached an increased level of popularity, use, and success. Common areas of treatment include the forehead's horizontal wrinkles, the vertical lines in between the eyebrows, and crows feet.

The benefits of Botox can be added to and enhanced with other treatments such as collagen and various chemical peels. All ofl these aesthetic dermatology treatments involve very mimimal to no down time. Most patients head back to work and carry on with their day right after treatments.

The cost of Botox can depend on the amount deemed necessary to be effective. A complimentary consultation with one of our associated specialists will help you learn specifics. The information below should also help you understand a little more in the meantime.

Why Botox?
It's a quick procedure with just about no downtime, little potential for side effects, and subtle but remarkable results. It can dramatically improve your appearance, making you look younger, energetic, and more attentive. And while it's been a well-kept secret of celebrities for years, it's now easily-accessible to everyone, even to those who don't reside in Hollywood!

What's especially great about Botox is that it's not a suspcious "miracle" cream or age-defying lotion. It's FDA approved for wrinkle removal. It's proven to work. With a trained, experienced technician, of course, in an appropriately licensed setting, Botox is a product about which you can feel completely safe and confident. No sedation or anesthesia is necessary, and everyday life can be resumed immediately following treatment.

The treatment
Botox is a treatment that has actually been administered safely and successfully for over a decade. It is commonly used to get rid of wrinkles in the forehead, between eyebrows, and from crows feet (around the eyes). It also proves to be effective for medical conditions such as excessive sweating and migraines, but hasn't quite earned FDA approval for those particular treatments.

When being used for wrinkle removal, though, Botox is injected right into the wrinkle-controling muscle. These mild doses of the solution block nerve impulses to the muscle, and subsequently relax it. In this state, the muscle can no longer contract, leaving the skin in that area in an equally relaxed and smooth state.

The rejuvenating effects of Botox usually last about three to six months. There are exciting studies suggesting that multiple Botox treatments eventually result in a decreased need for the treatment. So the results might ultimately last much longer than six months! Any side effects that might be experienced are temporary.
