Botox Injections in Chicago Illinois - Who is an Ideal Candidate for Botox® Injections?

Few people enjoy signs of aging - sagging skin, wrinkles around the eyes and mouth, and fine lines that appear throughout the face. With the use of cosmetic treatments such as Botox®, men and women can enjoy a younger-looking appearance after just one treatment. Not only is Botox fast, but it is affordable and accessible for anyone who wants to improve his or her appearance.

Most people are good candidates for Botox injections. If a person is physically and emotionally healthy, he or she typically can enjoy the benefits of Botox. While Botox has some potential side effects (such as bruising, redness, temporary muscle paralysis, and even possibly a rare allergic reaction), most people have few or no issues with their Botox injections. People over the age of 18 may qualify for Botox injections. Any questions and concerns about the use of Botox can be addressed during a consultation appointment with one of Derick Dermatology's providers. Body areas the patient wants to address can be examined, and the provider at Derick Dermatology of Chicago, Illinois can talk to each patient about what injectables will work best for him or her.

There are few instances where an individual may want to avoid Botox injections. Individuals with severe allergies, skin infections, and/or certain medical conditions may opt for a non-Botox injectable or may be advised to try alternative treatments. People taking antibiotics and certain medications may not be recommended any injectables, so it is important to talk to your Derick Dermatology provider about your medical history and current physical condition.

The providers at Derick Dermatology in Chicago, Illinois are well-experienced in performing Botox injections. Call today to schedule a consultation appointment to learn what Botox and other injectables can do to smooth your skin and rejuvenate your appearance.
