BOTOX
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a widely used treatment for reducing wrinkles. It works by weakening the small muscles around the eyes and forehead that cause frown lines and deep wrinkles in these areas. During the treatment, tiny injections are administered to targeted sites. Within a few days, patients can see the effects, and the results typically last for 2-4 months. Subsequent re-injections are necessary to maintain the results.
Our provider team at New Image Works in the Chicago area, consists of highly trained, expert BOTOX injectors that specialize in noticeable and natural-looking results that last.
What is BOTOX® Cosmetic?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is the only FDA-approved product that can temporarily improve moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, forehead lines, and crow’s feet lines around the sides of the eyes.
How does BOTOX® Cosmetic work?
BOTOX® Cosmetic addresses one of the primary causes of frown lines and crow’s feet – the repeated muscle contractions resulting from years of frowning and squinting. When administered by your New Image Works provider, BOTOX® Cosmetic injections temporarily decrease muscle activity in these areas.
