Botox® Cosmetic Treatments

What Are Botulinum Toxin Injections?
Botox® is a prescription drug that is injected into muscles to improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines and facial wrinkles between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), on the forehead, and around the eyes. At Heartland Plastic Surgery & The MedSpa, Botox® is an injectable cosmetic neuromodulator used to improve your face and make it look more attractive and more youthful. Botox® relaxes the tiny facial muscles linked to expression and prevents them from contracting. After a Botox® procedure, the overlying skin remains silky and unwrinkled, while the untreated muscles contract normally. Heartland Plastic Surgery & The MedSpa has been the Cape Girardeau area’s leading Botox provider for 20 years and counting. Beyond cosmetic benefits, clinical trials have helped Botox gain FDA approval for certain medical conditions, including:
- Chronic migraine
- Overactive bladder
- Cervical dystonia
- Severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis
With real, noticeable results, no surgery, and no downtime, Botox® has been the treatment of choice for millions of patients and their doctors.

Who Can Be Treated with Botox?
If you have noticed that wrinkling between your eyebrows is making you look older than you really are, you may be a perfect candidate for Botox® treatments to improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between your eyebrows (glabellar lines), on your forehead, and around your eyes. If just looking more refreshed and healthier is your goal, Botox® injections are the right choice for you. Together with an injector at Heartland Plastic Surgery & The MedSpa, you will decide if you are the right candidate for Botox® injections.
How is Botulinum Toxin Type A Administered?
Botox® is directly injected into the muscles between the eyebrows, around the eyes, and on the forehead. It is injected only by our board-certified plastic surgeon or board-certified physician assistant. Upon injection, Botox® blocks nerve impulses to the muscles that are being treated. This reduces muscle movement that causes the development of moderate to severe lines between the brows, on the forehead, and around the eyes. Please arrive early to be seated in a private room where ice packs and numbing cream are available for no additional charge.
What can I expect after injections with Botox®?
Within a few days, you will notice a striking improvement in the treated areas. Lines continue to improve for up to 30 days. Noticeable improvement can last up to 4 months. Your own results may vary. Be sure to talk to your Heartland Plastic Surgery & The MedSpa specialist about what you can reasonably expect.
Localized pain, inflammation, tenderness, swelling, redness, and bleeding/bruising have occasionally been reported around the injection site. These side effects of Botox® injections usually fade away within a couple of days. Heartland Plastic Surgery & The MedSpa‘s Medical Spa patients returned to their regular activities immediately.
Heartland Plastic Surgery & The MedSpa consultants will advise you on how to treat your skin after the Botox® procedure and will set up a follow-up appointment before you leave.
