Can I Get Botox and Fillers at the Same Time?
Both Botox® and dermal fillers are popular treatments for anyone who wants to diminish wrinkles and restore volume lost due to aging. But can you have both treatments at the same time? Here’s the answer.
Is a Topical Filler Really a Thing?
If you know anything about fillers, you might be confused as to how a “topical filler” might work.
There’s been some buzz rolling around about topical Botox for some time now, but that might be just a bit easier to wrap your mind around.
VOLUMIZING AND FILLERS AND FILLING?
How can a product fill out your skin without being injected?
The way fillers work, after all, is for the injectable to penetrate into the deeper layer of your skin–helping reduce wrinkles.
What might help (or make things more confusing) is to distinguish the “filling” products, which are essentially a topical injectable filler and the volumizing products that have been around for years.
In short, there are three types of product to distinguish.
First, there are your injectable fillers which most know about. Second, there are “filling” products, which contain hyaluronic acid, like fillers.
A volumizing skin product, often taken the same as a filling skin product, plumps up the outer layers of skin.
SMALL MOLECULE INNOVATION
The filling products, meant to act in place of injectables eventually, use smaller molecules that can get through the deeper layers of the skin.
The product is essentially made of complex forms of water. In a certain sense, the filling products are the same as the volumizing products – except for the size of the molecules.
Like filling a glass jar with rocks, pebbles and sand, the topical fillers sift to the bottom of the jar, while the larger molecules of volumizing products are like the pebbles that end up closer to the top. Both work to fill out the jar, but sit at different levels of depth.
Topical fillers won’t be a complete replacement for injectable fillers. After all, part of what makes injectables useful is the precision with which they can be placed.
But nonetheless, they’ll be incredibly useful for those who want to work out minor creases without any involved treatment.
