Preventative Medicine by Science
Esthetics in Barrington, IL
Neurotoxin and dermal filler treatments, including Botox, at the Barrington clinic.
Preventative Medicine by Science provides neurotoxin treatments, including Botox, and dermal fillers. Every treatment starts with a consultation: what you want to change, what the treatment can and cannot do, and what the recovery and the follow-up look like.
Neurotoxins and Dermal Fillers
Treatments are offered by category below. Which specific product is used, and whether an injectable treatment is appropriate for you at all, is determined during the consultation.
Neurotoxins, including Botox — injectable treatments that temporarily relax targeted facial muscles, used for expression lines. Effects are temporary and treatment is repeated at intervals.
Dermal fillers — injectable gels used to restore volume or refine contour in specific areas of the face. Duration varies by product and by placement.
Both carry possible side effects, including bruising, swelling, and tenderness at the injection site, along with less common risks that are reviewed with you before you consent to treatment. Results vary between individuals, and no particular outcome is guaranteed.
What to Expect
Consultation. Your goals, your relevant medical history, current medications, and any prior aesthetic treatment. This is also where expectations are set honestly, including where a treatment is unlikely to give you what you are picturing.
Treatment. Injectable appointments are typically short. You will be told beforehand how long yours is expected to take.
Aftercare and follow-up. Written aftercare instructions are provided, and a follow-up is arranged where the treatment calls for one.
