Choosing who injects your face is a big decision. Before-and-after photos help, but the most honest picture of an injector comes from the people who keep going back, sometimes for decades.
Liv Aesthetics Chicago holds a 5-star rating on Google. We went through every one that mentions Botox, Dysport or neurotoxins and pulled out what patients say, in their own words. Here is what they told us.
"A true Botox artist"
The word that comes up more than any other is artist.
"Sangini is a true Botox artist! She seriously is the best and my face always looks flawless. She knows the perfect recipe for exactly what I am looking for and I love how she strategically places each unit." Nicole M.
"I don't trust anyone but Sangini with my face for Botox and fillers. She is an artist! Never too much or never too little." Suzanne H.
"Best Botox ever!! So detail oriented." Jamil D.
What patients are describing is placement. Botox works by relaxing specific muscles, and the difference between a soft, rested look and a heavy or surprised one often comes down to a few millimeters and a few units. That precision is what 22 years and more than 100,000 aesthetic procedures buy you.
Natural, never frozen
Almost every Botox review mentions looking natural. Patients want to look rested, not "done," and that is exactly how Sangini approaches it.
"Her goal has always been natural-looking results and that's exactly what she delivers." Kaitlin F., patient for almost 6 years
"Her up to date knowledge & skills gave me a very natural look just like I requested." Tim T.
"She has a true talent for enhancing your natural beauty while giving you that youthful, confident, 'I woke up like this' glow." Jannet B., patient for over 14 years
Our approach is simple: the goal is a face that still moves and expresses, with the harsh lines taken away. If you have never had Botox before, we usually start conservatively and fine-tune at your follow-up. Read more about what to expect at your first Botox appointment.
She tells you when you don't need it
This one surprises people. Many of our reviews praise Sangini for recommending less.
"One thing I really appreciate is that she's never tried to upsell or make me feel like I need more than I actually do." Kaitlin F.
"She has repeatedly proven herself to be trustworthy and honest when making recommendations, either by suggesting services she feels would provide me the greatest benefit, or by steering me away from those she felt would be a waste of my time and (very importantly) money." Jade B., face and masseter Botox patient
"Sangini is not a 'YES' provider. She really does care about you and your goals and will help you in the best way possible to achieve your goal, even when that means having to say 'NO'." A patient since 2007
An injector who says no is an injector you can trust when she says yes.
Patients who switched, and never went back
Several reviewers came to LIV after Botox elsewhere that they didn't love.
"I've been to so many places for my Botox and Sangini is by far the BEST!!!!!! Worth traveling to other side of town for her expertise." Jessica W.
"Since updating injectors to Sangini 4 years ago, I've never looked back." Sarah M.
"Two years ago, I moved to Chicago from LA and was really nervous about going to someone new for my botox and lip filler. She listened to all my preferences and reproduced EXACTLY what I wanted." Bojana G.
Our nurse injector Brenda Torres, BSN, RN, hears the same thing: "I've had Botox before from someone else and wasn't totally happy with the results. She nails it every time!" writes Reba P.
Loyalty measured in decades
Botox is a treatment you repeat every few months, so loyalty says a lot. Some of our patients have trusted Sangini for longer than many practices have existed.
"I have been a patient of Sangini for over 20 years... From Botox and fillers to laser treatments, I have always felt completely confident in the recommendations and treatments provided... Twenty years later, I wouldn't go anywhere else." Amy B.
"I have been seeing Sangini since 2016 when a friend recommended her for Botox and fillers... She is a perfectionist, has a great eye for proportions and never pushes me to do more than I need." Gerry P.
Medically minded, not just aesthetic
Because Sangini has spent her career in medical dermatology, patients notice that she thinks about the whole face and the whole person.
"She is incredibly talented when it comes to the artistic placement of botox and fillers, but also medically minded. She is not afraid to say no if a requested treatment is not the best fit for your body, and will explain why and recommend the next best alternative." Kelly H.
That medical lens is also why we treat beyond the forehead. Botox can relax a clenching jaw, soften lip lines or lift a downturned mouth. Read our guide to masseter Botox for jaw clenching and slimming, or how we choose between Botox, Dysport and Jeuveau.
