Looking For a Dramatic Difference? Combine Neurotoxin and Dermal Fillers!
Botox, a neurotoxin, and dermal fillers provide minimally invasive, highly effective, quick treatment options offering excellent results that can last for several months or more. They work nicely together because each injectable is designed to tackle aging symptoms in different ways.
What is a neurotoxin?
Botox, along with Xeomin®, both of which we offer, are FDA-approved injectable neurotoxins that work to block communication between nerve and muscle cells—resulting in muscles not being able to move. Reduce the movement of these muscles and you can remove the signs of wrinkles!
What are fillers?
Dermal fillers are FDA-approved injectables, often made of HA (hyaluronic acid), that plump the skin to fill in lines and smooth out creases, restoring fullness and volume that tends to diminish with aging.
To explain further, sun damage and other factors can reduce the amount of HA in your skin as you age. This lack of HA causes your skin to lose structure and volume, creating unwanted facial wrinkles and folds, like those parentheses lines around your nose and mouth. Dermal fillers reduce or eliminate deeper wrinkles, raise scar depressions, enhance lips, and replace volume loss.
Here’s why two are better than one
Because each treatment uses a different formula to improve the appearance of facial wrinkles, they are safe to combine in the same treatment session, and quite often optimal results are obtained when the two are used in conjunction.
According to a review in the Dermatologic Therapy journal, combining Botox and dermal fillers will increase tissue-dwelling time for injectables. Without Botox, fillers don’t last as long because the body absorbs the substance over time. The more active and animated the face, the sooner fillers disappear. Botox reduces muscle movement, so fillers are less likely to break down as quickly. Combined treatment addresses multiple facial features at once and offers a more complete, longer-lasting facial lift. And, consequently, you’ll get more financial bang for your buck.
So…should I get Botox and dermal fillers at the same time?
The answer is yes if:
You have both lines and facial folds
You want to achieve the most natural-looking results possible
You have moderate signs of facial aging ex. Loss of volume
Many people have experienced how Botox and Xeomin can smooth fine wrinkles and make you look years younger. However, dermal fillers can address what Botox can’t!!
