Botox In The Chicago Area

Years of squinting, concentrating or frowning can cause your skin to furrow and crease. Because your skin becomes less elastic over the years, those lines remain even when your muscles aren’t contracting. Botox® Cosmetic* can give you noticeable results whether your frown lines are moderate or severe.

Dr. Kim will consult with you regarding where you could most benefit from Botox. Possible areas include:

Forehead wrinkles
Glabella lines (between eyebrows)
Crow’s feet
Wrinkles under eye lids
“Smoker’s’” lines above lips
Corners of mouth
Gummy smiles (pronounced upper gums)
Chin dimples and wrinkles
Horizontal wrinkles of the neck

BOTOX Cosmetic is a purified protein derived from Clostridium Botulinum. Using a tiny micro-needle, Dr. Kim precisely injects a small amount into your chosen areas, a procedure that takes less than 15 minutes and has no downtime. You can do it on your lunch hour! The treatment effects last between 3-4 months on average; however, everyone reacts differently. Dr. Kim will advise you when to schedule your follow up appointment.

BOTOX injections have been used safely and effectively for decades to treat many ophthalmologic and neurological disorders. Dr. Kim purchases BOTOX directly from Allergan, the only FDA-approved source in the U.S.
