Botox Cosmetic
Botox in Peoria
A lifetime of emotions puts your facial muscles through a rigorous test. If the signs of aging have started to catch up with you, Botox Cosmetic can help soften them.
Quick Answer
What Is Botox Cosmetic?
BOTOX Cosmetic is an injectable solution that can temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines in specific facial areas, for a more youthful and vibrant appearance.
This non-surgical treatment involves the careful injection of a diluted form of botulinum toxin type A, which smooths away wrinkles by preventing the underlying muscle contractions that form them. It is an extraordinarily popular treatment among both women and men looking to diminish signs of age and stress in the upper face.
Pricing
Competitively Priced Per Unit
Botox is charged by the number of units needed to achieve your goals, rather than a flat treatment price. The total varies from person to person depending on the areas treated and your customized plan.
Your Nurse Practitioner will confirm the number of units and your total cost at your consultation, before anything goes ahead.
Who Treats You
In Experienced Hands
Our highly skilled Nurse Practitioners develop a customized BOTOX Cosmetic treatment plan designed to help you achieve your goals, with results that meet your expectations.
The aim is smoother, more youthful skin with natural-looking results that do not present a frozen appearance. During your consultation your Nurse Practitioner will answer any questions you have and go over the potential risks and side effects before treatment.
Botox can be very effective on its own, or it can complement facial treatments such as microneedling or microcurrent for more comprehensive rejuvenation.

Areas We Commonly Treat

Results
How Long Does It Last?
Results fade over time and the lines will return to their original state, but they can be maintained with occasional follow-up treatments.
Safety
Is Botox Cosmetic Safe?
Though the term botulinum toxin can sound intimidating, BOTOX Cosmetic is considered quite safe when administered by a qualified and licensed practitioner.
Approved by the FDA for the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles in 2002, it is one of the oldest and most trusted injectable treatments available. As a non-surgical enhancement, it also avoids the risks associated with more invasive procedures.
