Review the frequently asked question and answer below for more details:
How does Botox work?
Botox stops messages from your nerves to your facial muscles. Once injected, the muscle no longer contracts, which relaxes the area, Preventing the repetitive movement that typically causes lines and wrinkles. When you get Botox treatment at our Chicago med spa, you may prevent lines and wrinkles that cause your face to age prematurely. Keep in mind that wrinkles caused by gravity and exposure to the sun do not respond to Botox. Therefore, it's important to wear sunscreen and moisturize as part of your daily beauty regimen.

What is preventative Botox?
By impeding facial muscle movement, Botox may train your muscles to avoid movement even after the injection wears out. Starting at a young age helps you retain your smooth skin longer. While the FDA approves the use of Botox for patients 18 years old and above, we recommend preventative Botox for clients in their late 20s and early 30s, when repetitive motion can begin to form permanent lines in your skin. By slowing down muscle use, you can prevent deep lines from starting.
