What is botox?
Botox injections are made of the botulism toxin in a safe, refined form. The toxin paralyzes the muscles so they don't contract. When the muscles are relaxed, the skin on top of them appears smoother. This improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with very little risk or side effects!
Getting Botox injections in Chicago, IL, is a routine and painless procedure that can help you look younger. You should only feel a small prick at the injection site, and if you are anxious about that your doctor can use a topical numbing agent before you begin. Botox injections only take a few minutes to administer and start working right away.
You may notice redness or swelling at the injection site immediately afterward but this should subside quickly. You will start to see results soon, but it may be a week before you see the full effect of the injections. There is maintenance recommended with Botox injections. Botox can keep your muscles relaxed for up to four months, but your doctor will recommend follow-up injections every three to six months to maintain the results.
