Cosmetic Neurotoxin
Injections in Chicago, IL
Cosmetic neurotoxin injections, commonly known as Botox or Jeuveau, are a popular non-surgical solution for reducing the signs of aging. Not only do these FDA-approved treatments temporarily relax facial muscles and minimize the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, but their real power lies in their ability to open the eye area, restoring your natural, youthful appearance and symmetry. By rejuvenating and opening the eye area, your non-verbal communication also improves, leaving you looking and feeling more refreshed and confident.
Dr. Ahmad has been doing Botox injections since 1995. He believes these injections, done with precision and consistency, are the key to making his patients look as natural as possible!

Frequently Asked Questions About Neurotoxin Injections
1. How long do neurotoxin injections last?
The wrinkle-smoothing effects of neurotoxin injections typically last for 3-4 months, and the best results are achieved with consistency. However, individual results may vary depending on factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and the specific product used.
2. What areas can be treated with neurotoxin injections?
Neurotoxin injections are a versatile treatment option that can improve a variety of facial wrinkles, including:
- Forehead lines: Horizontal wrinkles that appear when you raise your eyebrows.
- Frown lines (glabellar lines): Vertical lines between the eyebrows, often caused by frowning or concentrating.
- Crow's feet: Fine lines that radiate outward from the corners of the eyes, often accentuated by smiling or squinting.
- Bunny lines: Wrinkles that appear on the sides of the nose when you wrinkle your nose.
- Lip lines (smoker's lines): Vertical lines that form above the upper lip.
- Neck bands: Vertical bands or cords that become more prominent with age.
3. Are neurotoxin injections safe?
When administered by a qualified and experienced injector like Dr. Ahmad, neurotoxin injections are considered very safe. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects. Patients with known neuromuscular conditions like myasthenia gravis should not receive neurotoxins. Bruising can occur, so we recommend that our patients limit blood thinners like aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil around the time of treatment, if possible. For our patients who bruise easily, we recommend a small dose of Arnica, and we always ice our patients after injections.
Rest assured that Dr. Ahmad will thoroughly review your medical history and discuss any potential contraindications to make sure you feel safe.
