Can I Get Botox® and Fillers at the Same Time?

It’s important to love the skin you’re in, but that doesn’t mean you have to just accept lines, wrinkles, and sagging. The secret to natural, yet noticeable, results may lie in a treatment that combines two of the most popular cosmetic injectables.

Syed Bokhari, MD, and our team at The Beauty Medics can create a more youthful, refreshed appearance using Botox® and dermal fillers at the same time — a combination sometimes called a liquid facelift. When used together, these treatments can erase signs of aging and subtly enhance your features.

There are a number of benefits to getting Botox and fillers at the same time. Here, we explain how they work together and what this strategic approach can do for your appearance.

How Botox and fillers complement each other

Botox relaxes facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles — the lines that appear with expressions, like frown lines between the brows or crow’s feet around the eyes. It blocks nerve signals to these muscles, resulting in a smoother, refreshed appearance. 

Dermal fillers tackle a different aspect of aging that leads to facial lines and sagging skin: volume loss. Fillers restore fullness, smooth static wrinkles that are noticeable even at rest, such as nasolabial folds or marionette lines, and they also can enhance contours in areas like your cheeks or lips.

While these two treatments both offer excellent results on their own, a combined approach achieves even more. Together, they address the full spectrum of facial aging concerns for a complete rejuvenation.

Benefits of combining Botox and fillers

Let’s take a look at some other benefits of integrating Botox and dermal fillers into a single plan.

Natural, balanced results

By simultaneously targeting both overactive muscles and volume loss, this dual method allows our experts to create a truly natural, balanced look. Our goal is to smooth away imperfections, improving your features without looking artificial, frozen, or overdone.

Efficiency and convenience

Opting for Botox and fillers at the same time also offers practical benefits. Consolidating treatments into a single, coordinated plan means fewer appointments and a more streamlined process, saving you time and simplifying the path to achieving your cosmetic goals.

Treatment tailored to you

Another major benefit of this technique? The level of customization it can deliver. We precisely apply each injectable based on your facial anatomy and specific concerns, ensuring results that are perfectly suited to your individual look and desired outcome.

What you can expect

Your journey starts with a comprehensive consultation to ensure we understand your goals so we can create a tailored plan. The treatment is quick — around 30 minutes, depending on your individual plan. And it’s relatively comfortable; we use fine needles, and you’ll feel just a few brief pinches.

After your session, it’s normal to experience some minor, temporary side effects like redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. You can generally return to your normal routine right away, although you should avoid strenuous activity and unprotected sun exposure for 24-48 hours to ensure optimal results.

While your filler results are visible immediately after any swelling subsides, Botox effects develop more gradually over a few days. To maintain your new look, you generally need Botox touch-ups every three to four months. Depending on the chosen filler, its effects can last from around six months to over a year before needing a touch-up.
