Using less than a full syringe of filler may be cheaper than using a full syringe or more than one. The provider may also charge additional fees for their professional services, office visit, or other costs. Because Botox and fillers are different substances designed for different uses, they can sometimes be combined in one treatment.
For instance, someone may use Botox to correct lines between the eyes and a filler to correct smile lines around the mouth. Millions of Botox and filler procedures are performed each year, and they have a good track record of safety. A study in JAMA Dermatology found that Botox and filler procedures are very safe when performed by experienced board-certified dermatologists.

Botox and fillers are not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. People who have certain health conditions or who take any medications should discuss whether Botox or fillers are safe for them.
People should also discuss what Botox and fillers can realistically do for their appearance. Well, the answer could be both, or one and the other, depending on the region of your face that you want to treat.

According to Dr. Chiu, the most common areas for Botox use are forehead frown lines and crow's feet. Liotta reminds that you can also use Botox preventatively, injecting and treating areas to prevent the wrinkles from forming in the first place. For example a Botox brow lift to raise or shape the arch of the eyebrow, Botox lip lifts to increase lip volume and definition, Botox at the angle of the jaw to slim the jawline, or even Botox to improve a gummy smile.
Neuromodulators are injected into the belly of the muscle. But, it should be noted, says Dr. Liotta, that the face has many layers of overlapping muscles that are in different locations and depths in the face, and they each exert a pull at rest as well as a pull during animation.
You just have to wait it out months. First, a note from Dr. So where can you get Botox injected that isn't necessarily for aging related issues? Treating the pain of TMJ, as a migraine treatment or even as a way to make the face more symmetrical after facial paralysis or spasm.
In short: definitely. Liotta explains: Botox can be used to help refine the results of filler in an area. The combination can often produce a more elegant, sophisticated result. Although dermatologists use both Botox and dermal fillers to treat wrinkles on the face, they have a range of added uses as well.

Doctors use Botox to treat migraine headaches and other medical conditions. For one, it is used to treat muscle issues brought on by neurological disorders. Botox may also be injected in the armpits to treat hyperhidrosis a. When injected on the jaw muscle, it can even help with teeth grinding. Doctors typically use it for forehead lines, under-eye wrinkles, bunny lines on the nose, and lines around the lips.

Since these muscles cannot move, the dynamic wrinkles become less visible. The procedure will then take less than 30 minutes, and many call it a lunchtime procedure.
