At Enfuse Medical Spa & Hair Restoration in Chicago, IL, helping individuals achieve and maintain natural-looking enhancements with non-surgical medical treatments is our specialty.

To help you maintain your results, we provide a customized maintenance program designed with best practices for optimal safety and long-term effectiveness.
Botox Injections: How Do They Work?
Botox neuromodulators treatments are derived from purified botulinum toxin, which temporarily relaxes targeted muscles in the face. This controlled muscle relaxation helps soften dynamic wrinkles—lines that form due to repeated facial expressions like frowning, squinting, or smiling. Strategically administered injections of Botox reduce specific muscle activity, allowing the overlying skin to relax, providing a refreshed appearance when facial muscles are at rest. By reducing muscle activity in skin that has less collagen and elastin, neuromodulators like Botox can also help prevent dynamic facial lines and wrinkles from forming.
Botox: What Are the Benefits, and Who Are the Candidates?
As a non-surgical treatment, neuromodulators are suitable for a wide range of individuals. Our team will assess your goals and help you determine the right neuromodulator treatment plan for your needs. If you are in good general health and are seeking a solution for fine lines or wrinkles caused by facial expressions, you may be an ideal candidate for the following benefits of Botox neuromodulator injections.
- Smooths, Fine Lines and Wrinkles- Neuromodulators effectively reduce the appearance of wrinkles in areas like the forehead, between the eyebrows (glabella), and around the eyes.
- Prevents Future Wrinkles- By temporarily relaxing facial muscles, neuromodulators can prevent the formation of new lines, making them a popular choice for younger patients seeking to maintain smooth skin.
- Quick and Convenient-Treatments are fast, taking about 15 to 30 minutes, with minimal downtime, making them ideal for busy lifestyles.
- Natural-Looking Results- Properly administered neuromodulators provide a subtle enhancement, so you look like a refreshed version of yourself—without a “frozen” appearance.
- Customizable- Treatments can be tailored to individual needs, whether you’re looking to soften existing lines or maintain a youthful appearance.
Botox: What Are the Treatment Areas?
At Enfuse Medical Spa, we use neuromodulators to treat various areas of the face where wrinkles commonly form:
- Forehead Lines: Softens horizontal lines across the forehead, creating a smoother, more relaxed appearance.
- Frown Lines: (Glabellar Lines): Reduces the appearance of “11” lines between the eyebrows for a more approachable, less stressed look.
- Crow’s Feet: Smooths fine lines around the eyes that form from smiling or squinting.
- Bunny Lines: Diminishes lines on the nose that appear when smiling or scrunching the face.
- Lip Lines: Minimizes fine lines around the mouth, often known as “smoker’s lines.”
- Neck Bands: Treats horizontal lines or “bands” in the neck area for a more youthful contour.
Botox: What to Expect with the Procedure, Recovery and Results
Botox neuromodulator injection treatments at Enfuse Medical Spa are quick and straightforward. Here’s what you can expect with a Botox procedure and recovery:
Botox Procedure- After cleansing the skin, our providers use a fine needle to inject the neuromodulator into the targeted muscles. The procedure typically takes 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the areas treated.
Botox Recovery- There’s minimal downtime, so most patients can resume their usual activities immediately. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising. To help these effects resolve quickly, refrain from intense heat and sun exposure, as well as strenuous physical activity and alcohol on the day of your treatment. To prevent Botox from spreading beyond the treatment area while it is still being absorbed, avoid massaging the skin in and around the injection sites for 24 hours and sleep with your head elevated.
Botox Results- The majority of patients begin noticing the results of Botox within the first three to five days after initial treatment, with the full results visible in approximately two weeks. Results generally last 3 to 4 months, after which a customized schedule of maintenance treatments is recommended to maintain optimal results long-term.
