BOTOX & FILLERS
Schedule Your Consultation
In the world of facial aesthetics, Botox and dermal fillers are two of the most popular and effective non-surgical treatments. While they’re often grouped together, they work in very different ways—and serve different purposes.
How They Work
Botox (Botulinum Toxin):
Botox temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles to soften the appearance of dynamic wrinkles—those caused by repeated facial expressions like frowning, squinting, or raising the eyebrows. Common treatment areas include the forehead, frown lines (11s), and crow’s feet.
Dermal Fillers:
Fillers are used to restore volume and enhance facial contours. They’re made from substances like hyaluronic acid that attract moisture and provide structure. Fillers are commonly used to treat under-eye hollows, nasolabial folds, cheek deflation, jawline definition, and lip enhancement. Most of the fillers that we use will slowly dissolve away over months.
Subtle Refinement Without Surgery
Benefits of Botox and Fillers
Non-surgical and minimally invasive
Quick treatments with little to no downtime
Natural-looking results when performed by an experienced provider
Ideal for early signs of aging or for patients not ready for surgery
Can help delay the need for surgical correction
Limitations Compared to Surgery
While Botox and fillers are excellent tools for subtle rejuvenation, they do have limitations—especially when it comes to advanced signs of aging.
For patients with significant skin laxity, deep jowling, or heavy eyelids, surgical procedures such as a facelift, neck lift, or blepharoplasty may be more effective and longer-lasting.
The Best Approach? A Personalized Plan
Many patients benefit from a combination of non-surgical treatments and surgical procedures over time. A customized approach based on your anatomy, age, and aesthetic goals can deliver the most natural, refreshed results.
- They can’t remove excess skin or reposition sagging tissue
- Fillers provide temporary volume, but don’t lift or tighten like a facelift or eyelid surgery can
- Overuse of fillers in place of surgical correction can lead to unnatural or heavy results
- Botox results typically last 3–4 months, and fillers 6–18 months, depending on product and location
