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 vs. Dysport vs. Xeomin vs. Daxxify: Which Is Right for You?

All four are FDA-approved neuromodulators that relax muscles to reduce wrinkles. Here's how they compare:

Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA)

• Onset: 3–5 days
• Duration: 3–4 months
• Best for: Precise, targeted treatment; gold standard with the most research

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)

• Onset: 1–2 days
• Duration: 6–9 months (longest lasting)

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.
