Botox, Dysport and Jeuveau all relax the small muscles that fold your skin into lines when you frown, squint or raise your brows. They work in a similar way, but differ slightly in how quickly they start and how much they spread. Sangini chooses the product for your anatomy and goals, not out of habit.
With 22 years in cosmetic and medical dermatology and more than 100,000 aesthetic procedures, Sangini Patel, M.S., PA-C, treats with a light hand. Nurse injector Brenda Torres, BSN, RN, follows the same approach. New patients often start lighter and fine-tune at a two-week check-in, because it is easier to add a little than to take it away.
Good for
- Frown lines between the brows
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Crow's feet
- Bunny lines on the nose
- Jaw clenching and a wide jaw (masseter, off-label)
- Keeping new lines from settling in
How it works
Botox, Dysport & Jeuveau
Softens the lines that come from movement, so you still look like you, just more rested.
Botox, Dysport and Jeuveau are neurotoxins: purified proteins that relax the specific muscles that crease your skin when you frown, squint or raise your brows. Relax the muscle and the line above it softens. Use them early and consistently and they also help prevent deeper lines from settling in.
What we treat
- Crow's feet: the fine lines at the corners of the eyes
- Frown lines: the "11s" between the brows
- Forehead lines: horizontal lines across the forehead
- Bunny lines: the small creases on the sides of the nose when you laugh
- Lip lines and a downturned mouth: for a softer, more lifted look
- Jaw clenching and TMJ: relaxing the masseter can ease tension headaches from teeth grinding and slim the jawline
- Migraines: Botox can help relieve chronic migraines and reduce how often they start
Our approach. We place carefully and conservatively. The goal is a face that still moves and expresses, with the harsh lines taken away. If you have never had injectables before, we will often start lighter and build at your follow-up.

Reviews
In their words
★★★★★
“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.”
★★★★★
“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. She is also great with recommending other services I need as I continue to age.”
★★★★★
“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. She truly wants to make her patients look beautiful, and feel happy, and good about themselves.”
Which is right for me: Botox, Dysport or Jeuveau?
Neither is better for everyone. Dysport may start a little sooner and blend slightly more, while Botox and Jeuveau tend to stay closer to where they are placed. We recommend one at your consultation based on your face and your history.
Can I get Botox on my lunch break in the West Loop?
Yes. Treatment usually takes under half an hour and there is no real downtime, so many patients book it around their workday.
Who should not get Botox?
We do not treat during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, and certain neuromuscular conditions and medications matter. We review your health history before any treatment.
How much does Botox cost at Liv Aesthetics?
Pricing depends on the areas, the product and the number of units your muscles need, so we give you a clear plan at your consultation. The $150 consultation fee for new consultations is fully credited toward services booked.
