Laser and Skin
As we age, fine lines and wrinkles can appear, affecting our confidence and making us look older than we feel. At Dermatique Laser and Skin in Geneva, IL, we offer a proven solution to restore your smooth, youthful appearance: Botox®. This highly effective treatment works by relaxing the muscles responsible for creating wrinkles such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead creases. Our experienced professionals ensure that your treatment will be personalized and results look natural.
This article will discuss how Botox® can help you overcome fine lines and wrinkles, what to expect during the procedure, and answer common questions.
Fine lines and wrinkles develop over time as our skin loses elasticity and collagen. A repeated facial expression, such as frowning, smiling, or squinting, can result in dynamic wrinkles around the eyes, forehead, and mouth. These lines often become more pronounced, making skin look older and tired.
Common areas where wrinkles appear include:
Without proper treatment, these wrinkles can deepen over time and become more difficult to address with topical treatments alone.
Botox® is a non-surgical treatment that targets facial wrinkles caused by repeated expressions.
It temporarily reduces the muscles responsible for wrinkles, reducing their appearance.
Treatment is quick, usually taking 15-30 minutes, with minimal discomfort.
Common areas treated include frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines.
Results appear within 3-5 days and can last up to 3-4 months.
There is no significant downtime; you can return to your daily activities after treatment.

The results from Botox® typically last 3 to 4 months. Over time, as the muscle activity gradually returns, the wrinkles may reappear, and follow-up treatments are recommended to maintain your results.
Most patients notice smoother skin within 3 to 5 days after treatment, with full results visible within 1 to 2 weeks.
Patients report only mild discomfort during the procedure. The needle is excellent, and treatments are quick, often compared to a mild pinching sensation.
