Q & A
Am I a good candidate for Botox?
es! Men want to look good too. Botox is FDA approved for all adults over 18. See why more and more men are looking to take few years off the look of their face and smooth out frown lines with Botox.
What is Botox® Cosmetic?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to improve the look of moderate-to-severe facial lines. It is produced from clostridium botulinum bacterium, a natural, purified protein that attaches to nerve endings. This process blocks the neurotransmitter signals that trigger muscle contractions that cause fine lines and wrinkles giving the face a relaxed, more youthful appearance.
Botox® can keep the muscles relaxed for up to four months. As muscles relax, the facial lines they were creating may appear to smooth out too. While individual outcomes may vary, initial results become visible in as few as two to three days; full results can take up to fourteen days.
Are There any Side Effects?
Botox® Cosmetic is widely considered one of the safest cosmetic procedures available. More than 11 million Botox® Cosmetic procedures have been administered in the United States since 2002.
While most people will experience no side effects from a Botox® injection, some possible side effects may include bruising, swelling, nausea, headaches, and muscle weakness. In some cases, first time patients may experience a slight headache for up to a week following the initial treatment. This is completely normal and will diminish over time.
Please feel free to reach out to our Nurse with any questions (773) 248-4247.
Although the majority of side effects are rare and temporary we always recommend consulting with your provider with any questions or concerns. For a complete list of potential side effects, please visit the Botox® Cosmetic website.
How Much Does Botox Cost?
Each unit of Botox is $14. The exact number of units necessary will depend on multiple factors such as wrinkle depth, skin type and desired results. On average, most clients require between 20-40 units to achieve their desired results. Prior to any Botox® Cosmetic treatment, you will receive a complimentary consultation to assess your treatment goals, answer all of your questions and determine if you can successfully be treated with Botox®.
What Can I Expect During Botox® Treatment?
After examining your skin, our Nurse Practitioner will assess your muscle movement by asking you to frown or smile. Based on your muscle movement, the nurse will advise you on approximately how many units of Botox® will be needed to achieve your desired goal.
After determining your treatment goals, our Nurse Practitioner will inject Botox® Cosmetic via a very fine needle into the muscle. There is almost no pain involved. Patients report a small pinch, similar to plucking your eyebrows. The entire procedure typically takes approximately between 20 to 30 minutes with most patients experiencing no downtime.

Fanstastic place to get lasered – as a medical professional, it’s nice to be treated where they are knowledgeable, professional, and of course reasonably priced. Catalina is fantastic. the laser treatment works very well, the equipment is up to date, the place is clean and relaxing.
Catalina is amazing. I want to try everything she recommends! Great service. Competitive pricing. Easy to get to. And…results!!
Literally not a bad word to say about Lapiel. Razors have long been the bane of my existence, but no more thanks to Catalina. Less painful than waxing, less of a hassle than shaving, and more effective than both, laser hair removal rocks the house.
As a veteran of too many Laser Hair Removal places in Chicago, my only complaint about LAPIEL is that I didn’t find them sooner.
Catalina is fantastic. She’s very open and honest about the entire procedure, and I didn’t feel like I was being oversold.
I have been to 4 other places in Chicago and LA for laser over the years and no one compares to Lapiel. This is the only place that has truly worked! They know what they’re doing and take such great care and precaution to ensure they treat patients safely and effectively.
The entire experience at Lapiel was fantastic and relaxing. Plus, I’ve never enjoyed a skincare line as much as the Eminence products and I never would have gotten them without Julie’s recommendations.
I had terrible underarm ingrown hairs. I FINALLY decided I was too old for that nonsense and chose Lapiel for laser hair removal. I wish I wouldn’t have waited so long!!
I work as a professional cosmetologist and value good service and technical skills because I know my clients expect that from me. I recommend La Piel Laser Center to everyone who is looking for great laser hair removal and Botox.
As a dark skin woman (Skin Type VI), I am ecstatic about the results!!! I started with one area (March 2014) and have gradually had other areas treated because of the phenomenal results. I was skeptical and afraid of pursuing laser hair removal based on stories and pictures that I saw online of laser treatments gone wrong on black skin. I must say, I have had no issues at Lapiel. No burns, no dark marks, no keloid scars. If anything, the laser treatments have helped to lighten the areas where I had hyperpigmentation due to plucking and shaving. This secondary benefit of the laser on dark skin is great in helping the skin achieve a more even skin tone in the affected area(s).
