At North Branch Dermatology in Chicago, IL, Dr. Elizabeth Fahrenbach administers Botox injections for patients looking to achieve a softer and more youthful appearance. Botox can soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by smiling, laughing, and living life! While plastic surgery can drastically change your appearance, Botox injections help you achieve a more youthful look that still looks like you.
Botox is made from the bacteria clostridium botulinum in a refined, safe form. Botox injections precisely target the muscles that cause fine lines and wrinkles. The injection stops the contractions in your muscles, forcing them to relax. When the muscles are relaxed, the skin over them appears smoother. Botox can help approve the appearance of:
- Wrinkles around the mouth
- Crow's feet
- Forehead lines
If you would like to boost these areas, make an appointment at our practice to see what we can do for you. The procedure for a Botox injection is simple and relatively painless. The needle used is very small and you only feel a prick at the injection site. There is no recovery time and you will see the full results of the injection in just a few days.
