Botox, the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) continues to be the most popular non-surgical anti aging treatments in Chicago. This aesthetic treatment reduces the visible signs of wrinkles and is extremely effective on moderate to severe frown lines. It also works on forehead creases, and crow’s feet near the eyes. Botox is successful on stubborn lines that no moisturizer or expensive eye cream can eradicate.
It is also used to help maintain a personís fresh and youthful appearance. Many patients opt for this anti aging treatment before those deep, stubborn wrinkles that come with age begin to appear. It gives them a more refreshed appearance. Just the removal of those subtle or not so subtle lines cause us to look years younger, which in return boosts our self esteem and confidence.
How Botox works is relatively simple. The toxins block the nerve impulse, or contraction, of the muscles that cause wrinkles over time. Through the years, we have used these muscles when we smile, laugh, cry, frown and talk. Smoking is another contributor to aging of the skin. But a few days after our Board Certified Nurse Practitioner gives several tiny injections of Botox directly into those muscles, most people see a marked improvement. Results last approximately four months, but can last as many as six months.
