Botox, Dysport & Dermal Fillers

Northwestern Medicine Aesthetics offers the full spectrum of neurotoxins and dermal fillers administered by academic medical centre-trained injectors. Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin address dynamic wrinkles, hyperhidrosis, and neck bands; Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, and Sculptra restore facial volume and contour; Kybella targets submental fat. Fat transplantation using autologous fat transfer is also available for volume restoration.

The injectable programme at Northwestern Medicine Aesthetics is distinguished by its academic medical centre setting, where injectors — including board-certified plastic surgeons and their trained clinical staff — bring surgical anatomical knowledge to every neuromodulator and filler treatment. This depth of expertise is particularly relevant for patients seeking complex facial rejuvenation, correction of previous filler complications, or treatment of areas that require precise understanding of deep facial anatomy. Neurotoxins available include Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA), Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA), and Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA). All three work by temporarily relaxing overactive facial muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles — forehead lines, glabellar frown lines (the 11s), crow's feet, and lip lines. Beyond aesthetics, Botox at Northwestern Medicine can also address hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating of the underarms or palms) and platysmal neck bands. As a Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine–affiliated practice, the team is experienced in using neuromodulators for therapeutic as well as cosmetic indications. Dermal fillers span the major product families: Juvederm (the full HA filler line including Voluma for cheeks, Vollure for nasolabial folds, and Volbella for lips), Restylane (versatile HA filler for lips, tear troughs, and mid-face), Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite for deep structural support and hand rejuvenation), and Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid for gradual, diffuse volumisation that stimulates collagen over several months). Kybella (deoxycholic acid injections) is available for non-surgical reduction of submental fat — the double chin — dissolving fat cells permanently in the treated area. For patients seeking a natural result using their own tissue, autologous fat transplantation is performed by the plastic surgery team: fat is harvested via liposuction from a donor area such as the abdomen or thighs, processed, and re-injected into the face, breasts, or buttocks to restore youthful contours without synthetic materials. Chicago residents near River North, the Gold Coast, Lincoln Park, or the Mag Mile can access Northwestern Medicine Aesthetics conveniently at the Erie Street campus in Streeterville.
