Ophthalmologist Mark Golden MD at Doctors for Visual Freedom, 875 N. Michigan Ave., Suite 1820, wants everyone to look their best for the holidays. "Now is the perfect time to treat yourself or a loved one to a cosmetic procedure to refresh your look for the holidays," he says. Cosmetic fillers and Botox treatments are just some of the many services offered by Dr. Golden.
"People should not take chances by going to Botox parties and should always verify that the person administering Botox and fillers is FDA approved and a physician," Dr. Golden says. "If you are getting injections into your facial muscles, you need a doctor who has specialized training in facial anatomy and a well-developed aesthetic eye."
Dr. Golden has been performing Botox and filler injections for 17 years, ever since Botox was first FDA approved.
Pricing
Botox pricing can vary by quite a lot, Dr. Golden says. In downtown Chicago, the average price is about $20 per unit. The 11's typically take 20 units and at Dr. Golden's office that is only $195 dollars. Each additional units there are only $12.50. When a full-face treatment can use up to 60 units, Dr. Golden's charges are very reasonable.
What about fillers?
Fillers also are an amazing way to take years off the appearance in a subtle manner, he says. "We are all interested in improving and maintaining an attractive appearance. Doctors for Visual Freedom offers cosmetic treatments that are low-risk and high-result investments.
Choosing a skilled ophthalmologist like Dr. Mark Golden gives you confidence you will achieve the results you seek. Cosmetic treatments can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, leaving you with a more youthful and attractive outlook.
Skincare Products to Reduce Dark Under-Eye Circles
Dr. Golden also has a wide range of skin care products that reduce dark circles under eyes in as little as two weeks, amazing moisturizing creams with hyaluronic acid and anti-aging creams that reduce wrinkles without using Botox.
Some people may want to try Latisse which can increase eyelash growth. Most women find a dramatic increase in lashes in 6 weeks. "Our price of $150 for the large size is much cheaper than found at most drug stores," he says.
Expansion of Eye Glass Frame Selection
With their recent move to Suite 1820 at 875 North Michigan Avenue Building, formerly the John Hancock Center, Doctors for Visual Freedom has expanded their eyeglass frame selection, adding almost a hundred new frames in the last several weeks including Gucci, Tom Ford, Alexander McQueen, Emilio Pucci, Swarovski, Mark Jacobs, Jimmy Choo, Versace, Carolina Herrera and Ray Ban.
They also offer eyeglasses that are more modestly priced, using good frames and quality optics, making glasses affordable for almost any budget.
Here's a rundown of treatments and what to expect:
BOTOX Cosmetic
BOTOX Cosmetic is best known as an effective means of softening and relaxing contracting facial muscles that cause unseemly wrinkles. When your muscle is injected with BOTOX Cosmetic, it no longer receives the nerve signal to contract.
One BOTOX Cosmetic treatment can last anywhere from four to six months, but the muscle memory may cause a more permanent effect resulting in less severe muscle contractions over time. The treatment is typically complete in a few minutes with mild discomfort to the injected muscle.

JUVDERM
As we age, our skin loses elasticity, and the actions of our facial muscles begin to create wrinkles and creases. The hyaluronic acid that is naturally present in your skin maintains the hydration and volume of your tissues. In medicine, this substance has been used to alleviate joint pain and treat wounds. Hyaluronic acid was first used for facial rejuvenation in Europe in 1996. The hyaluronic acid in JUVDERM works by adding volume to your skin, thereby reducing the evidence of folds and fine lines.

LATISSE
The use of prescription LATISSE is proven to produce longer and fuller eyelashes as well as promote eyelash growth. Results can be seen gradually within weeks and full results are achieved anywhere from eight to sixteen weeks. Using a sterile applicator, LATISSE is applied daily directly to your lashes on the upper eyelid. No surgery is needed and LATISSE is FDA approved as a medically safe procedure.
Chicago, Buffalo Grove, Arlington Heights and Downtown Chicago residents have made Doctors for Visual Freedom their choice for cosmetic treatments in BOTOX Cosmetic, LATISSE and Juvederm.

Fillers
Dr. Golden has been injecting fillers into the face to help people look younger for more than a decade. Fillers can be used diminish facial lines and restore volume and fullness to the face. They fill shallow contours, soften facial creases, add volume to cheeks, and plump thin lips. With injectable fillers, you can look more youthful look for a fraction of the cost of a surgical facelift. Treatments generally take less than 30 minutes and results can last from a year to two or more.
The objective of fillers is to look better but not have the appearance of having had fillers. Patients have the opportunity to watch as fillers are applied so that they can make a judgment as to the amount to achieve the appropriate contour of the face. Our patients tell us that their friends and spouses say that they look younger or more rested, but typically no one knows unless told they are told that fillers were applied. A natural appearance is important to Dr. Golden and if you want exaggeration of expression or huge lips, you should look elsewhere for care.
BOTOX Cosmetic injections relax the muscle under a wrinkle, but fillers can fill the deep creases or lines on the face causing trouble spots to nearly disappear. Fillers are used to plump and lift cheeks, jawlines and temples as well as eliminating deep creases not amenable to BOTOX Cosmetic treatments quickly and easily.
