Achieve a More Youthful Appearance with BOTOX®

Almost everyone wants to look and feel their best, regardless of age. But as we get older, issues like forehead lines and Crow's feet can become more apparent. While various anti-aging products are available on the market, one of the most effective options is BOTOX.

At Oak Dermatology, we understand you may have questions about BOTOX injections. So, how long does BOTOX last, and what does this popular cosmetic treatment involve? Below, Dr. Nour Al-Hadidi, Dr. Sharon Fang, and Dr. Anthony Janiga address these concerns and more. You can also view BOTOX before and after photos by calling to book a BOTOX consultation in Naperville, Itasca, or Joliet, IL. We've helped countless individuals look and feel their best through minimally invasive solutions.

Do you struggle with these signs of aging?

Not everyone develops signs of aging at the same time, but certain factors, such as smoking and excessive sun exposure, can speed up the process. You may experience common issues such as:

• Forehead lines
• Crow's feet (lines around the eyes)
• Frown lines (the "11" lines between your eyebrows)
• Smoker's lines (lines around the mouth)

Even the best wrinkle creams and serums can only do so much to improve these concerns. BOTOX offers a more dramatic and effective solution.

How does BOTOX work?

BOTOX is made from botulinum toxin type A, which temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for making fine lines and wrinkles. The injections are strategically placed to smooth out the overlying skin and create a more youthful appearance. At Oak Dermatology, our experienced providers use a gentle touch and personalized approach to ensure safe results.

What can I expect during a BOTOX procedure?

BOTOX injections at our offices in Naperville, Itasca, or Joliet, IL are quick, simple, and virtually painless. Dr. Al-Hadidi, Dr. Fang, or Dr. Janiga begin by cleaning and marking the treatment areas, then use a tiny needle to administer the wrinkle relaxer. The process takes less than 30 minutes, making it easy to fit into a hectic schedule. Patients are also given information on how to make the most of their BOTOX results.

How long does BOTOX last?

So, how long does BOTOX last for concerns like forehead lines and Crow's feet? The answer depends on factors like age, the severity of the wrinkles involved, and how well you maintain a good skincare routine at home. However, most patients enjoy noticeable results for around 3 – 4 months. You can also book regular touch-ups to keep up with your desired look.

Do BOTOX results look natural?

One of the biggest concerns people have about wrinkle relaxers is whether their outcomes will look natural. At Oak Dermatology, our skilled providers ensure that BOTOX injections only enhance features without seeming "overdone" or "frozen." We understand that you want to look like yourself, just with smoother, more youthful skin.

During a consultation, we can provide BOTOX before and after photos to give you an idea of what we can achieve. We also encourage patients to ask questions they may have about the procedure or their expected outcomes.
