If you’re getting ready for your first aesthetic facial treatment, you may be wondering: Botox® or dermal fillers?

The answer: Both! Combining these two treatments can give you a more youthful look, and this combination has

been used successfully on many individuals for beautifully smooth skin.

Botox vs. fillers: What’s the difference?

Both Botox and fillers are injectable treatments used to smooth facial wrinkles and create a more youthful

appearance. But this is where their similarities end. Botox is made from a neurotoxin and works as a muscle

relaxer. It temporarily paralyzes the muscles beneath your wrinkles, which helps smooth them out. Usually,

Botox is used on stronger, obvious wrinkles, such as around your eyes, mouth, and between your eyebrows.

Fillers, on the other hand, are usually used to address finer wrinkles, such as smile lines. They work by adding a

substance beneath your skin that plumps it, smoothing away wrinkles. There are several different types of

fillers, some of which last as long as two years. Fillers can also be used to plump areas like your lips or cheeks,

which can improve the look of your face and provide you with a more youthful appearance.

Using Botox and fillers together, Botox and fillers work differently and target different types of imperfections in

the face. This alone is one of the best reasons to combine these two treatments, as you can to attack wrinkles on

all fronts, creating an overall more youthful look.

In addition, using Botox and fillers together tends to improve the benefits of both treatments. For example, if

you seek Botox injections for wrinkles in your forehead, the muscles relax, avoiding the creation of new

wrinkles, you may still see the fine lines at the creases that have developed with repeated expressions over time.

Fillers can help to plump and smooth this area, making the results of the Botox much more effective. Also, if

you choose fillers injected near your mouth; they tend to last longer if relax the muscles there with a Botox .

Both of these treatments work together to give the look you want: an overall smoother, more youthful face.

Why combine Botox and Fillers?

If you aren’t already convinced that combining these two treatments is the best option for most people, consider

Combining these two treatments for years with satisfactory results. In addition, a 2017 study states that the

combination of both treatments becomes more effective as people age.

What’s more, while the treatment combination may be slightly more expensive than receiving only one of these

procedures at a time, you can see a real difference when choosing to get both Botox and fillers in one

appointment — and this is a difference that takes years from your face and allows you to live with the results for

a longer period of time.
