Your Guide to Chicago Botox Treatments
At LAPIEL, all treatments are performed by a board certified Nurse Practitioner, expertly trained in the proper administering of Botox®.
The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery has once again ranked Botox® as the most popular of all medically administered cosmetic procedures. The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin often referred to as Botox® is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases, and crows feet near the eyes. The Toxins block the nerve impulses and temporarily relaxes the muscles, which cause wrinkles. Botox® is an solution that is injected into the treatment areas. Results can last for up to 4 months. Botox® is the only treatment of its type approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
FAQ's
What are the benefits of Botox®?
• Creates a youthful, more refreshed appearance
• Reduces the visible signs of wrinkles
• Results visible in 2-3 days but can take up to a week
• Results may last for up to 4-6 months
• No downtime
• Non-surgical
Is Botox® painful?
Discomfort is minimal and brief. Prior to injecting, your practitioner may choose to numb the area with a cold pack or anesthetic cream.
Who should not use BOTOX® Cosmetic?
BOTOX® Cosmetic should not be used in the presence of infection at the proposed injection site(s) and in individuals with known hypersensitivity to any ingredient in the formulation. Patients with neuromuscular disorders such as ALS, myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome may be at increased risk of serious side effects.
Will my facial expressions continue to look natural?
Although the results are visible, a treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic will not radically change your facial appearance or make you look as if you "had work done." The muscle activity that causes frown lines between the brows is simply reduced, so you can still frown or look surprised without the wrinkles and creases between your brows.
What will happen to the frown lines between my brows if I choose not to continue treatments?
If you do not continue treatments, the moderate to severe frown lines between your brows will gradually look like they did before treatment.
Do treatment results differ?
To get the best results, it's important to go to a practitioner who is experienced in administering BOTOX® Cosmetic. They should have Botox and other facial aesthetics as the focus of their practice, as well as detailed knowledge of facial anatomy and experience injecting BOTOX® Cosmetic.

"I visited this clinic yesterday for my first botox injection, the clinic is very beautiful, the receptionist friendly. I then met with catalina, the nurse administering the shot, and she answered all my questions and concerns very pleasantly and helped me relax as I was kind of scared. She even gave me her card to reach her after hours in case I had any problems! I am very happy with the results so far, the prices are some of the best I found. If they charge by unit instead of by area you know you are getting what you pay for. I will definately be back! "
