What is the difference between Botox and fillers?

Botox and fillers are cosmetic injections that enhance facial features. However, they work in different ways and address different aesthetic concerns. 

Botox

Botox is a cosmetic injection that minimizes the appearance of lines and wrinkles caused by facial expressions. It works by temporarily stopping facial muscle movement, giving the skin a chance to relax and smooth itself out. 

Fillers

Fillers are volume enhancers. The gel-like injections fill in lines and restore volume under the skin to restore a more youthful look. 

Botox and fillers are effective aesthetic treatments, but the results are temporary.

Can you get Botox and fillers at the same time?

You can get Botox and fillers at the same time. These cosmetic injections address different aesthetic concerns, and you may benefit from both to get the look you want.

The expert injectors at Peak Wellness Med Spa and Aesthetics determine what treatments make the best choice for you after your initial consultation. They tailor plans to match needs and goals and get the best possible outcomes.

The team may suggest combining Botox and filler injections with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a biotherapy that supports the skin’s natural healing and rejuvenation process.

The med spa uses Cellenis® PRP technology, creating a highly concentrated natural biologic for maximum results. They also have Cellenis® Derma PRP, an extended-release technology for long-lasting results. 

What do Botox and filler injections feel like?

Botox and filler injections cause little discomfort, and most people tolerate them well.

The team uses tiny needles for Botox injections, and you may feel a tiny pinch with each injection. Most people tolerate Botox treatments without needing topical numbing creams.

The team may use numbing lotion for filler injections since they take longer and require slightly larger needles and repeated injections. You may feel some pressure during treatment and mild stinging or pinching.

Results from Botox may take several days to emerge, but results from most filler injections are visible right away.

How long do Botox and fillers last?

Botox and fillers are popular, but they don’t last forever. Botox injections last about three months, while fillers last six months or more. 

Adding PRP to your cosmetic injections may prolong results. The experts at Peak Wellness Med Spa and Aesthetics recommend repeating cosmetic injections as needed to maintain your look.
