Botox, Dysport & Dermal Fillers

The med spa at Michael Horn Plastic Surgery offers Botox, Dysport, and the full range of FDA-approved dermal fillers including Restylane, Juvederm, the RHA Collection, Radiesse, and Sculptra. Injectable treatments address forehead lines, crow's feet, frown lines, lip augmentation, cheek volume, tear trough hollows, jawline definition, and overall facial rejuvenation. Thread lift procedures are also available as a non-surgical facial lifting option.

The injectable and filler program at Michael Horn Plastic Surgery & Med Spa in Chicago represents one of the most comprehensive non-surgical facial rejuvenation menus available in the River North area. Unlike standalone medical spas, this practice's injections are performed within a board-certified plastic surgery environment, with Dr. Horn's surgical expertise and aesthetic sensibility informing every treatment plan. Neuromodulator treatments — Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) and Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) — are used to relax the dynamic facial muscles responsible for expression-based lines. The most commonly treated areas include horizontal forehead lines, vertical frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines or 'elevens'), and crow's feet at the outer corners of the eyes. Both products are FDA-approved for cosmetic use, with Dysport typically diffusing slightly more broadly — sometimes preferred for larger treatment areas — while Botox provides highly precise control in smaller zones. Dermal filler treatments address volume loss, line etching, and structural changes that neuromodulators cannot correct. The practice carries the full product portfolio: Restylane and Juvederm family products (hyaluronic acid fillers) for lip augmentation, cheek enhancement, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and tear trough correction; the RHA Collection (resilient hyaluronic acid) designed to move naturally with facial expression in dynamic areas; Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite) for deeper volume correction and jawline definition; and Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) for gradual, longer-duration collagen stimulation across the mid-face. Thread lift procedures using absorbable sutures with bi-directional cogs are available as a non-surgical facial lifting option — particularly for patients seeking brow, cheek, or jowl improvement who are not yet ready for surgical intervention or prefer a lower-downtime option. All injectable treatment plans are developed to complement the patient's overall aesthetic goals, whether as standalone maintenance or in combination with surgical procedures.
