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.
Cindy Crawford: How Botox Keeps Her Feeling Beautiful
Even supermodel Cindy Crawford doesn’t rely solely on genetics and a healthy lifestyle to maintain her youthful appearance. Crawford is just one of a number of celebrities that’s open and honest about her use of cosmetic treatments to preserve smooth and wrinkle-free skin.
More specifically, Cindy, who is now 52, has been seeing the same plastic surgeon since she was 29 and has had Botox as well as other procedures to enhance her looks.
CINDY CRAWFORD’S APPROACH TO AGING
Cindy admits that when she was in her early 20’s that she was adamant about not having any plastic surgery. However, once she began to approach her 30’s, she realized that diet, exercise, and her daily beauty regimen could only do so much. Additionally, she struggled in deciding what’s the difference between some cosmetic work that appears natural versus treatments or providers that yield overdone or frozen results.
Like many proponents of plastic surgery, Cindy recognizes that non-invasive treatments such as Botox have become widely accepted, but also has concerns about looking like a patient on ‘Botched.’ She recommends finding a skilled and board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist to avoid adverse outcomes.
BOTOX HELPS MAINTAIN A YOUTHFUL APPEARANCE
Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are brand names for botulinum toxin type A and are considered neuromodulators. When injected into facial muscles, Botox inhibits contraction and limits expressions (i.e. frowning or squinting) that produce wrinkles. As a result, Botox is able to smooth existing wrinkles and prevent deeper creases or new lines from forming.
Many patients that want to try Botox as an anti-aging treatment may even opt for Baby Botox, which uses smaller amounts of product that are injected more frequently than the standard dose.
COLLAGEN-BOOSTING TREATMENTS IMPROVE SKIN’S ELASTICITY
In addition to Botox, Cindy is a fan of collagen-stimulating treatments. These procedures utilize light-based energy, radiofrequency, and ultrasound to create a controlled wound-healing effect that ultimately stimulates the growth of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Crawford is transparent in acknowledging that creams can only help the texture of her skin and that they cannot improve elasticity. She credits her plastic surgeon for keeping her face tightened and toned and looking its best.
