5 Ways to a ‘New You’ in the New Year with Botox and Fillers

2026 is officially here, which means now is the perfect time to create a “new you” for the New Year. Botox® and fillers could be part of your transformation plan!

At Shore Vein and Aesthetic Medicine, Dr. Jacobs uses injectable treatments to help you look naturally refreshed without ever looking overdone. 

This month, our team is here to share five ways Botox and fillers can help you step into the new year feeling like the best version of yourself.

1. Injectables can smooth away wrinkles 

Botox and dermal fillers can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, but they work in different ways.

Botox injections

Botox relaxes the muscles that cause expression lines, such as forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, and crow’s feet. These are sometimes called dynamic wrinkles. 

When your muscles relax and don’t contract to form those wrinkles, it also prevents deeper lines from forming. All of this gives your face a more relaxed and youthful look.

Dermal fillers

Dermal fillers reduce fine lines caused by loss of collagen or volume loss. These are sometimes called static wrinkles because they’re unaffected by your facial movements or expressions. Fillers can smooth fine lines around your lips and mouth, too. 

The best part is that you can combine Botox and fillers in a liquid facelift. Together, these injectables can tame static and dynamic wrinkles. 

2. Dermal fillers can restore lost volume

As you age, you naturally lose facial volume, especially in your cheeks, temples, and around your mouth. Dermal fillers, especially those made with hyaluronic acid, can:

• Replace that lost volume in your cheeks
• Replace lost volume in your lips
• Restore softer contours and a fuller and more youthful appearance

The result looks natural because fillers mimic substances already found in your skin.

3. Injectables support your natural beauty

Although you’ll feel like a new person with injectables, you won’t look like a different person. That’s because injectables support your natural beauty without overpowering the features that make you you.

To put it another way, they can enhance what you already love. Fillers can subtly define your jawline, plump thinning lips, or smooth smile lines. Botox can also be used for brow lifts or to create better facial balance, all while preserving your natural expression.

4. Enjoy your results without downtime or surgery

When you have a vision for a “new you”, you probably don’t want to wait weeks or months to see the results. And you don’t want to be laid up in bed recovering, either. 

With Botox and fillers, many people return to work or daily activities the same day, which makes these treatments easy to fit into a busy schedule.

Botox and dermal fillers are typically completed in under an hour, with little to no downtime. This means you can start seeing some results almost immediately. 

That being said, some fillers boost collagen production over time, so you can expect to see full results as your collagen stores ramp back up.

5. Feel confident from the inside out

When you feel good about how you look, it often shows in how you carry yourself. After your treatment, you may feel more confident, refreshed, and ready to take on new challenges. 

Research shows that higher self-esteem is associated with better academic achievement and higher productivity at work.

Sometimes, a small change like this can make a big difference in how you feel every day.
