BOTOX and other neuromodulators have more cosmetic applications than ever before. Dr. Mustoe and Dr. Sinno offer BOTOX in Chicago, Illinois, for people who want to appear more youthful and refreshed, without looking overdone.
What Is BOTOX?
BOTOX Cosmetic, which is composed of a purified form of botulinum toxin, safely and effectively treats wrinkles around the eyes and forehead. Once injected into targeted areas, BOTOX temporarily relaxes the tiny muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet, forehead furrows, and frown lines, which are etched into the face by repeated facial expressions. This softens the appearance of wrinkles and gives the skin a smoother, more rested appearance.
TLKM Plastic SurgeryWhat Can BOTOX Do for You?
When performed by a skilled injector, BOTOX safely addresses the following concerns:
- Horizontal creases on the forehead
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Crow’s feet around the corners of the eyes
- A “gummy smile”
- Vertical neck bands
At our practice in Chicago, BOTOX can also be used as a preventative treatment for younger patients who want to delay the formation of lines and wrinkles.
What To Expect During Your BOTOX Cosmetic Treatment
BOTOX injection appointments typically take only a few minutes.
- Your injector uses a tiny needle to inject BOTOX into precisely targeted muscles.
- The number of injections and the amount of product depends on the area being treated and your desired outcome.
- Discomfort is minimal, and patients can generally resume their daily activities immediately.
For this reason, BOTOX is often called a “lunchtime” procedure; you’re typically back to routine immediately without skipping a beat!
What Happens After BOTOX?
There is minimal recovery or downtime after BOTOX. Dr. Mustoe and Dr. Sinno’s careful techniques result in very little redness or swelling, especially with the help of a cool compress. Most patients return to work immediately without anyone knowing that they’ve had BOTOX.
Unlike injectable fillers, BOTOX does not provide immediate results. It typically takes 5 to 7 days to see the full effect of your treatment. Patients seeking substantial, long-term rejuvenation generally are better candidates for facelift surgery.
How Much Does BOTOX Cost in Chicago, IL?
The cost of BOTOX varies depending on the areas treated and individual patient needs. During your consultation, our expert injectors determine the appropriate dosage (units of BOTOX) necessary to accomplish your aesthetic goals safely, and we’ll share a detailed price quote so you can budget accordingly.

BOTOX FAQ
How long does BOTOX last?
After BOTOX, you can expect to look younger and more vibrant for 3 to 4 months. Regularly scheduled BOTOX treatments may extend the longevity of your results.
How painful is BOTOX?
You can expect minimal pain during BOTOX, with many patients sharing they only experience a brief twinge of mild discomfort during their injections. While the injection needle is extremely thin, some patients may request a topical numbing cream to be applied before treatment.
Should you get BOTOX or fillers?
BOTOX and dermal fillers are injectable treatments that help patients look younger but work differently. BOTOX primarily addresses wrinkles and creases, while fillers target age-related volume loss by “plumping up” the cheeks, under eyes, and lips. BOTOX takes effect more slowly, while dermal filler results are usually immediate. Both treatments can be combined for optimal results.
