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.
Dynamic and Static Wrinkles: Are Botox or Fillers Best?
FILLERS AND BOTOX RESTON
As you age, you may begin to notice that not all wrinkles are alike. So, when it comes to addressing dynamic and static wrinkles, are Botox or fillers best?
Both types of wrinkles require a unique cosmetic approach in order to provide the best outcome for each patient.
WHAT ARE DYNAMIC WRINKLES?
Dynamic wrinkles are caused from years of movement in the skin on the face.
The deeper lines on the skin that you may notice from years of squinting, frowning and smiling are identified as dynamic wrinkles.
Additionally, the wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes qualify as dynamic.
TREATING DYNAMIC WRINKLES
Botox is an ideal treatment option to address these deep set lines in the skin.
This popular treatment was designed to target the muscles which are causing this tension in the skin in order to relax the muscle and erase the wrinkle.
WHAT ARE STATIC WRINKLES?
Static wrinkles develop as a result of loss of elasticity in the skin.
As we age, our skin makes less and less collagen and as a result, we are left with a more relaxed looking appearance.
Static wrinkles are a result of this loss of buoyancy in the skin are are traditionally identified in areas such as the corners of the mouth, on the cheeks and the neck.
TREATING STATIC WRINKLES
When it comes to addressing static wrinkles, filler is usually the most popular tool used by doctors.
A filler is able to address laxity concerns in the skin by providing volume where it has been lost.
