You Want Results That Look Natural, Not Overdone
You've seen the frozen foreheads and the overfilled lips. That's not what you're after. You want to look refreshed, not like you've had work done. You want friends to notice you look well-rested, not to ask what you got done.
Maybe you've been thinking about Botox for a while but weren't sure where to go. You don't want to trust your face to just anyone, and you don't want to end up looking stiff, surprised, or unnatural. Finding an injector you can actually trust, someone who listens and understands the difference between subtle and dramatic, feels harder than it should.
At River North Med Spa, that's exactly the kind of result we're focused on. Whether you're curious about softening forehead lines, smoothing crow's feet, or trying a lip flip for the first time, we take the time to understand what you're looking for, and to make sure you leave looking like the best version of yourself.
What Is Botox, and What Can It Actually Do?
Botox is a purified neurotoxin protein that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for expression lines. It's FDA-approved, has been used safely in cosmetic medicine for over two decades, and when placed correctly, produces results that look completely natural.
At River North Med Spa, we use Botox to treat the most common areas patients ask about: forehead lines, the "11s" between the brows, crow's feet around the eyes, and bunny lines on the nose. We also offer the lip flip, a technique that uses a small amount of Botox just above the upper lip to create a subtle, natural-looking pout, without the volume of filler. For patients who want a more conservative approach overall, baby Botox uses smaller doses placed with precision for a softer, more natural result.
Results typically appear within 3 to 7 days and last 3 to 4 months, depending on the area treated and individual factors like metabolism and muscle strength.

Injector of Neurotoxins and Filler
Neurotoxins block muscle contractions that cause wrinkles, effectively preventing their quick formation by relaxing the muscles. Treatment areas include, but are not limited to: droopy eyebrows, lines between eyebrows, bunny lines, forehead lines, marionette lines, neck lines, crow’s feet, lip flip, chin dimpling, nasal tip drooping, gummy smiles, masseter muscles for facial slimming or TMJ pain, and more. We also offer lip filler for those seeking a long-lasting solution that increases volume, creating a natural, plump look that’s soft and kissable—try Ravanesse Lips+. Additionally, Kybella is available for double chin treatment, providing a non-surgical, permanent solution to moderate to severe submental fat, eliminating the need for liposuction.

Pricing varies based on the number of units needed and the areas treated. At River North Med Spa, we price transparently and discuss cost during your consultation so there are no surprises. Most forehead and brow treatments fall within a predictable range that we're happy to outline when you come in.
Botox relaxes muscles to reduce lines and wrinkles, while a lip flip uses a small amount of Botox placed just above the upper lip to gently roll the lip outward, creating the appearance of a fuller upper lip without adding volume. It's a great option for patients who want a subtle enhancement and aren't ready for filler. We offer both at River North Med Spa, and many patients combine them for a refreshed overall look.
Baby Botox refers to using smaller, more diluted doses of Botox across treatment areas for a softer, more subtle result. It's popular with patients in their late 20s or early 30s who are starting to notice early expression lines and want a preventative, natural-looking approach. It's also a great option if you're new to injectables and want to start conservatively.
Most patients see results for 3 to 4 months. Factors like metabolism, muscle strength, and how active you are can affect longevity. Regular maintenance appointments help train the muscles over time, and many patients find they need slightly fewer units after several treatments.
There is no required downtime after Botox. You may notice minor redness or pinpoint marks at the injection sites for an hour or two, which typically resolve on their own. We advise patients to avoid lying down, strenuous exercise, and touching the treated areas for a few hours post-treatment.
