What does
Botox
target?

Moderate to severe frown lines, forehead lines, crow's feet, and dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions. Botox also treats excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), chronic migraines, neck spasms, and TMJ tension. It targets the muscle contractions that create lines over time.

How does
Botox
work?

Botox is injected into specific facial muscles, where it temporarily blocks the nerve signals that trigger contractions. As the muscle relaxes, the skin above smooths out, softening existing lines and preventing new ones from forming. Results appear within 3-5 days and typically last 3-4 months.

Why choose
Botox
at Better Med Spa?

We offer Botox alongside XEOMIN, Dysport, and DAXXIFY so your provider can recommend the best product for your anatomy and history. Every treatment starts with a consultation to map your facial movement and place every unit with intention. Lincoln Park's consultation-first injectable clinic.

How much does Botox cost in Lincoln Park?

Botox at Better Med Spa is $15 per unit. A typical forehead treatment uses 10–30 units ($150–$450), frown lines use 15–25 units ($225–$375), and crow's feet use 10–15 units per side ($150–$225). Full-face treatments average 35–65 units ($525–$975). We offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees, plus savings through our membership program.

How long does Botox last?

Botox results typically last 3–4 months. Most patients schedule maintenance appointments every 3–4 months to maintain their results. With regular treatments, many patients find their results last longer over time as the treated muscles become trained to stay relaxed. Daxxify, another neuromodulator we offer, can last 6–9 months for patients who prefer fewer appointments.

How many units of Botox do I need?

The number of units depends on the treatment area, your muscle strength, and your aesthetic goals. Common ranges: forehead lines (10–30 units), frown lines/11s (15–25 units), crow's feet (10–15 units per side), lip flip (4–8 units), jawline slimming (25–50 units per side). During your free consultation, your injector will assess your anatomy and recommend an exact unit count before treatment.

What's the difference between Botox and Dysport?

Both are FDA-approved neuromodulators that relax muscles to smooth wrinkles. Botox ($15/unit) is the gold standard with the most research and works well for precise, targeted areas. Dysport ($4/unit) has smaller molecules that spread more, making it ideal for larger areas like the forehead, and tends to kick in 1–2 days faster. Results and duration are similar for both. Your injector can help you choose based on your treatment goals.

Can I get Botox on my lunch break?

Yes! Botox is often called a 'lunchtime procedure' because the treatment itself takes just 10–15 minutes with zero downtime. You can return to work, social events, or your normal routine immediately. We recommend avoiding intense exercise and lying flat for 4 hours after treatment. Our Lincoln Park location at 2117 N Halsted St offers convenient scheduling Tuesday through Sunday.

Past Client Experiences

"I have noticed a significant difference in the overall appearance of my skin and my friends and family have as well. I am excited to come in for follow-up sessions!"

"I came in 2 weeks ago for their Green Peel, which is a natural facial peel formulated with algae. It was my first time doing a skin peel so I was a bit anxious, but my tech Priscilla did a great job of informing me about the treatment throughout the process and about the aftercare."

"Overall - phenomenal experience. Staff from the estheticians to the front desk were so knowledgeable and kind."

"I got the Personalized Facial with a complimentary skin consultation with Xia. And it was so beyond amazing. This was by far one of the most intensive facials that I have ever gotten and I loved how much attention to detail Xia had throughout our entire session."

Signature from Annie Y.

"Outstanding service and spa."

"The Glass Facial was amazing. They specialize in Korean Beauty and only use products gentle for your skin unlike many Western treatments. My skin looks great even days later. I still have a glow and glass look with just simple skin care and moisturizing like I normally do. I definitely recommend this salon and suggest you try the K-Beauty services!"

"This is definitely a place I trust and will keep coming back to for my future skincare treatments. Plus, reasonable price! Highly recommended!"

"It has been a month since I got Rejuran, and at least six people have complimented my skin since then! Izzy is amazing, her technique is professional and surprisingly painless, but what impressed me the most is her sense of aesthetics. She really listened to what I wanted, communicated actively with me, and confirmed everything carefully until I felt completely comfortable."

"The spa was clean, relaxing, and welcoming. My skin feels so smooth and fresh, and I left glowing."

"I had my very first facial today with Hailey and it was such a great experience! I booked the aromatherapy, dermaplaning, glass skin facial, and LED light treatment, and she walked me through every step so I felt comfortable the whole time. She made sure I was comfortable and explained what each product was doing. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends!"

"Grace did a fantastic job. I don't have anything to compare it with, but the full service felt amazing. I was surprised by the number of steps included and how involved it ended up being. Head massage, facial massage, neck and shoulder massage, forearm and hand massage, all while working through multiple steps of the facial cleanse and treatment process. It was great. I'll be back again."

How Botox Works

Botox Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved injectable neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles. By blocking nerve signals to specific muscles, Botox smooths dynamic wrinkles — the lines that form from repeated facial expressions like squinting, frowning, and raising your eyebrows.

The treatment takes just 10–15 minutes with no downtime. Most patients see initial results within 24–48 hours, with full effects visible in about two weeks. Results typically last three to four months, and regular treatments can train muscles to stay relaxed longer over time.

Backed by over 16 years of published clinical research and more than 528 peer-reviewed studies, Botox Cosmetic is the world's most extensively studied neuromodulator, with regulatory approval in 98 countries.

Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA)

Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA)

  • Onset: 1–3 days (fastest acting)
  • Duration: 3–4 months
  • Best for: Larger areas like the forehead; spreads more for a natural look

Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA)

  • Onset: 3–5 days
  • Duration: 3–4 months
  • Best for: Patients who develop resistance to Botox; "naked" formula with no complexing proteins

Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm)

  • Duration: 6–9 months (longest lasting)

Not sure which is right for you? Book a consultation and our injectors will recommend the best option based on your anatomy, goals, and lifestyle.

What to Expect at Your Botox Appointment

Consultation (5–10 minutes): Your injector will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, review your medical history, and create a personalized treatment plan. We'll explain exactly how many units are recommended and the total cost before proceeding.

Treatment (10–15 minutes): Using ultra-fine needles, your provider will administer precise injections to the targeted muscles. Most patients describe the sensation as a brief pinch. No anesthesia is needed, though we can apply a topical numbing cream if preferred.

Aftercare: You can return to normal activities immediately. Avoid rubbing the treated area, lying flat, or intense exercise for 4 hours. Skip alcohol for 24 hours. Results begin appearing in 24–48 hours, with full effects in about 2 weeks.

Follow-up: We schedule a complimentary 2-week touch-up appointment to assess your results and make any minor adjustments to ensure perfect symmetry and satisfaction.

Preventative Botox — Start Before Lines Set In

Preventative Botox (sometimes called "baby Botox") uses smaller doses to prevent expression lines from becoming permanent creases. If you're in your mid-20s to early 30s and starting to notice fine lines when your face is at rest, preventative Botox can keep those lines from deepening over time.

At Better Med Spa, we see patients across a wide age range for preventative treatments. Our approach is always conservative — we use the minimum number of units needed to achieve a natural, subtle result that still lets you express freely.

Preventative Botox is especially effective for forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet. It's one of the most cost-effective anti-aging strategies available, and many of our younger patients pair it with a customized skincare routine for optimal long-term results.

Botox for Men in Chicago

Botox isn't just for women — it's one of the fastest-growing aesthetic treatments among men. At Better Med Spa, we welcome male patients who want to look refreshed and competitive without looking "done."

Men's facial anatomy requires a different approach. Male foreheads are typically larger with stronger muscle movement, which often means adjusted unit counts and injection patterns. Our specialists understand these differences and tailor every treatment accordingly.

Common treatment areas for men include forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet. Many of our male patients in Lincoln Park and River North also opt for jawline Botox for masseter slimming or TMJ relief.
