Botox relaxes wrinkle-causing muscles, while fillers restore lost volume. Combining them makes skin look smoother and refreshed without looking overdone.
Do you really need to choose between Botox and fillers? A lot of people assume Botox and fillers do the same thing, while some believe you have to pick one or the other. The truth is, they are not meant to compete, and they actually work best when used together. Although they target different concerns, combining Botox and fillers can help you achieve a more youthful and natural-looking appearance. Let’s take a closer look at how Botox and fillers team up for the best results.
How Botox works. Botox is a type of neuromodulator that relaxes specific facial muscles. It is designed to soften dynamic wrinkles, which are the lines that form from repeated facial expressions like frowning, squinting, or raising your eyebrows.
It works best for treating forehead lines, crow’s feet around the eyes, and frown lines between your brows. Rather than changing the structure of your face, Botox prevents these lines from getting deeper and helps maintain a smooth and refreshed appearance.
What fillers do. Dermal fillers are completely different from Botox. Instead of relaxing muscles, fillers restore volume and enhance facial contours. Most fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that helps keep your skin plump and hydrated.
“When Botox and fillers are used together, they can create a smoother and more youthful appearance without looking overdone.”
Fillers are commonly used to add volume to the cheeks and temples, define the lips, smooth deep smile lines and marionette lines, and contour the jawline and chin. They are ideal for restoring structure and fullness to areas where volume has been lost over time.
Why using both Botox and fillers works best. While Botox reduces movement in the muscles that cause wrinkles, fillers add volume where it is needed. When used together, they can create a smoother, more youthful appearance without looking overdone.
Botox softens expression lines, while fillers bring back definition and shape. The combination leads to a balanced, natural result that enhances your features in a subtle and effective way.
