Lets Talk 'Toxins:
Fine lines and wrinkles? CN Medical in Park Ridge, IL has got a solution! Neuromodulators like Botox®, Dysport®, and Jeuveau® temporarily relax targeted facial muscles to soften expression lines and prevent new ones from forming. It’s one of the most effective and popular treatments in aesthetics...and for good reason.
Botox® vs Jeuveau® vs Dysport®
Neuromodulators are purified proteins (botulinum toxin type A) that work by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles like crow’s feet, forehead lines, frown lines, and more.
They all do the same thing, but with subtle differences that might make one better for you:

Product | Best For | Onset | Spread | Duration |
---|---|---|---|---|
Botox® | Classic go-to for forehead, frown lines, crow’s feet | 3–7 days | Precise, localized | 3–4 months |
Jeuveau® | "Newtox" popular for first-timers or aesthetic-focused results | 3-5 days | Targeted | 3–4 months |
Dysport® | Larger areas (like forehead), faster results | 2-4 days | Wider spread | 3–4 months |
Not sure which is right for you? Don’t worry! Our experienced injectors at CN Medical will recommend the best option during your consultation based on your goals, muscle movement, and anatomy.
The Treament Process:
'Toxin treatments are quick and minimally invasive. Using a very fine needle, our experienced RN injector gently places small amounts of product into the facial muscles responsible for lines and wrinkles.
Treatment typically takes just 10–15 minutes- quick enough to fit into your lunch break (with time to grab a latte after) and most clients describe only mild discomfort. For sensitive areas, we may apply a topical numbing cream or ice for added comfort.
Botox®, Jeuveau®, and Dysport® specific treatmeants:
When will I see results?
- Initial Results: 2–7 days, depending on the product
- Full Results: Around 10–14 days

Is there any downtime?
There’s no true downtime. You can go right back to your day (or to work). For best results, we recommend:
- Avoid lying down or bending over for 4 hours
- Refrain from touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated area
- Skip exercise or heat exposure (like saunas) for the rest of the day
are there any side effects?
Most side effects are mild and short-lived. These may include:
- Redness or swelling at the injection site
- Minor bruising
- Tenderness or a light headache
- A “tight” or heavy feeling (temporary and uncommon)
More serious side effects are rare when treatments are performed by licensed, experienced injectors.
