BOTOX® Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe forehead lines, crow’s feet, frown lines, and vertical bands connecting the neck and jaw (platysma bands) in adults.
-
Talk to your doctor about BOTOX® Cosmetic and whether it’s right for you. There are risks with this product—the effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems or muscle weakness can be a sign of a life-threatening condition. If this happens, do not drive a car, operate machinery, or do other dangerous activities. Patients with these conditions before injection are at the highest risk. Swallowing problems may last for several months. Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection-site pain, fatigue and headache. Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness. Don’t receive BOTOX® Cosmetic if there’s a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions (including ALS/Lou Gehrig’s disease, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome), and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.

Fall is BBL Season! Save 15% when you buy a package of 3 BBL or BBL Hero treatments for face, neck, and body at the Whole Beauty Institute in Chicago and Winnetka.

What’s BBL? BBL and BBL Hero (broad band light) deliver light wavelengths to the skin to address unwanted pigmentation such as sun spots, damaged vessels, or rosacea. This results in skin that has a beautiful uniform color rather than a blotchy appearance.

Need more added benefits to BBL? Studies show that BBL enhances skin cell turnover on a molecular level to function more like youthful skin. The result is skin that can recapture its youthful resilience!

Use promo code BBLSpecial25. Non-transferable. Cannot be combined with other promotions.
