Botox and fillers
Botox stops you from making expressions that eventually get pressed into wrinkles. In contrast, they do as their name describes: They fill in the voids. These voids are created in your skin by the loss of collagen, fat, and your body’s natural hyaluronic acid. Unlike Botox, which takes a while to work, dermal fillers instantly fill up and smooth out wrinkles. As a result, you leave our office looking younger than when you entered.
With all injectables, the factor that most determines your success is the training and expertise of your injector. Knowing exactly where to inject and how much product you need to get the desired results is paramount for a truly natural, satisfying result.
At The Center for Dermatology Cosmetic & Laser Surgery in Mount Kisco, New York, our skilled dermatologists and aestheticians take pride in their skill with injectable therapies. After an in-depth consultation, we use Botox, Juvéderm, and other fillers to help you reach your goals.
Botox and fillers treat different areas
How can you benefit from using both Botox and fillers? Below is a brief guide.
Botox primarily treats the upper face, while dermal fillers usually address lines and creases in the mid- to lower face. Botox can also soften the look of neck bands. So, if you have fine lines and wrinkles in various areas, you probably need a combination of Botox and fillers to achieve your desired goal.
Use Botox for:
- Crow’s feet around eyes
- Frown lines between brows
- Bunny lines on top of the nose
- Forehead furrows
- Neck lines
Use fillers for:
- Nasolabial folds from nose to mouth
- Marionette lines from mouth to chin
- Perioral lines (aka smoker’s lines)
- Fine lines and creases on the face
Botox and fillers are on different timetables
The one “wrinkle” to using Botox with fillers is they’re on slightly different timetables. Fillers work instantly and last 6-18 months or more, depending on the type and consistency of the filler we use to address your needs.
Botox, in contrast, lasts 3-4 months. To keep your rejuvenated look fresh, we create a touch-up schedule for you and send you reminders.
