BOTOX® Cosmetic

Everyone ages differently, but what we all eventually have in common is the presence of dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines and crow’s feet. If these wrinkles bother you, there’s something you can do. Dr. Sandeep Jejurikar offers simple BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments in Downers Grove for people from Naperville, Hinsdale, and throughout suburban Chicago. These simple treatments can help dynamic wrinkles fade to give you a smoother, younger-looking face.

To learn more about BOTOX and other nonsurgical med spa treatments, you can request a free cosmetic consultation online or call Dr. Jejurikar’s office at (630) 960-0023 in Downers Grove.

BOTOX Considerations

BOTOX treatments work by addressing dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by the movement of facial muscles over time. BOTOX is injected into specific muscles, temporarily relaxes them, and thereby reduces the appearance of wrinkles.

Improvements from BOTOX are temporary. The treatment can be repeated with the effects lasting for approximately 4 months. If you are seeking long-lasting rejuvenation, surgical facial sculpting may be a better option for you. Many people choose a brow lift, eyelid surgery, or a facelift to give them a more youthful appearance.

Benefits of Choosing Dr. Jejurikar for Your BOTOX Treatment

Choosing a skilled injector is very important so that you can get the most from your treatment. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jejurikar has many years of experience working with BOTOX. His experience has given him a thorough understanding of how to best use BOTOX for natural-looking results. He believes in taking the time he needs to understand each patient, thereby providing them with the best possible results. After he has personalized a treatment plan just for you, the actual BOTOX injection will be simple, quick, and comfortable.

The BOTOX Procedure

No anesthesia is generally required for BOTOX treatments; however, we offer the option of numbing the treatment area with an ice pack or topical anesthetic to minimize any discomfort. Using a very fine needle, Dr. Jejurikar will carefully inject tiny amounts of BOTOX into the muscles that cause the targeted wrinkles. Most patients will feel only a slight, momentary sting similar to an insect bite.

Recovery & Results

One of the best features of treatment with BOTOX Cosmetic is that it requires no downtime. After this in-office procedure, you can get right back to your busy day. After several days, you will begin to see improvement in the appearance of your wrinkles. These results will continue to improve for several weeks, and the results will last for approximately 4 months. Another one of the benefits of BOTOX is that it is repeatable. This means that, when your results begin to fade, you can return to Dr. Jejurikar for another injection and continued improvement.

BOTOX FAQ

Are BOTOX injections safe?

BOTOX injections have been safely used for cosmetic purposes safely and effectively since FDA approval more than 2 decades ago. To optimize your safety, choose an experienced injector in a reputable facility.

Is BOTOX or dermal fillers better?

Both treatments are effective for nonsurgical facial rejuvenation. The “best” one for you depends on the improvements you’d like to attain. BOTOX corrects dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by the repeated contractions of facial muscles. Dermal fillers are injected into the skin to add volume, whether it’s to fill out a wrinkle, facial fold, or an area in need of volume, such as the cheeks or hollows around the eyes.

Can BOTOX be combined with other treatments?

Many patients make the most of their time with us and optimize their facial rejuvenation by combining their BOTOX injections. While advanced skincare treatments like microneedling are a good choice, the most popular combination is BOTOX and dermal fillers for a liquid facelift. Lip injections are also a popular add-on to go with BOTOX treatments.

Can you make BOTOX last longer?

The results of BOTOX treatments generally last 3 to 4 months for the majority of people; however, many find that with consistent use, the time between treatments becomes greater.
