The Many Uses of Botox in Chicago

Botox has grown to become so popular that people are skipping lunch to get one done at a clinic near their place of work. In fact, each year, more than 5 million procedures are done in the United States alone. This is a testament not only to its popularity, but also for its safety and efficacy – as long as it is performed by the right Botox Chicago expert . After all, no one would opt to undergo a procedure that is not both safe and effective, right?

Over the years, Botox injections had been used for a variety of purposes. Truth is, it is now used for cosmetic and medical reasons.

Removal of Crow’s Feet

Crow’s Feet are the lines that surround your eye area. They look like spider webs and are very prominent as you smile. These are commonly referred to as ‘smile lines’. While smile lines are indications of a happy, stress-free life, there are people who’d rather not have these lines show on their faces. Botox is injected into these lines to get rid of them or make them less visible.

Erase Frown Lines

If some people think that ‘smile lines’ are welcome, ‘frown lines’ are definitely not. These lines, or creases, appear in between the eyebrows. Horizontal lines appearing on the forehead can also be removed through Botox.

Stops Excessive Sweating

People who were diagnosed with a condition called hyperhidrosis could benefit from having a Botox injection. Those with hyperhidrosis tend to sweat in copious amounts. Botox counteracts this by blocking acetylcholine release. Acetylcholine is a chemical that stimulates the sweat glands to produce sweat. When this chemical is blocked, sweat is no longer produced. The procedure typically lasts no longer than 5 minutes.

How long does BOTOX® Cosmetic last?

Visible results have been shown to last up to 4 months.1 Your own results may vary – be sure to talk to your healthcare provider about what you can expect and when to schedule your next appointment.
