When it comes to non-surgical facial rejuvenation, injectables like Botox® and dermal fillers are among the most popular options — and for good reason. These treatments can smooth wrinkles, restore lost volume, and boost your natural features with minimal downtime.
One of the most common questions we hear at South Shore Vein and Aesthetic Medicine is: “Can I get Botox and fillers during the same visit?”
The answer is yes — and it’s often the best way to get comprehensive results.
Here’s what you need to know about each injectable.
While both Botox and dermal fillers address signs of aging, they work in different ways:
Botox is a neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles — those fine lines and creases that appear with facial expressions, like crow’s feet and frown lines.
Botox isn’t limited to targeting wrinkles on your face. In October 2024, the FDA added vertical neck bands (platysma bands) to the approved treatment areas for Botox.
While Botox is a specific brand of neurotoxin used to relax facial muscles and reduce dynamic wrinkles, dermal fillers are a category of injectable treatments designed to restore volume and contour.
Dermal fillers can plump areas that have thinned with age, such as your cheeks, lips, and under-eye hollows. They can also smooth fine lines and static wrinkles.
At South Shore Vein and Aesthetic Medicine, we offer dermal fillers made with hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxylapatite — two trusted ingredients known for their safety and effectiveness in facial rejuvenation.
To put it another way, Botox and dermal fillers each target different aspects of aging, and they complement each other beautifully.
Having both Botox and fillers in a single session allows for a more balanced, natural-looking result. This approach can:
At South Shore Vein and Aesthetic Medicine, we carefully evaluate your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals to determine the right combination and placement of treatments.
Combinations like this are called a liquid facelift.
Your appointment begins with a consultation to discuss your goals and examine your facial structure. Dr. Jacobs and our experienced team will then carefully administer the Botox and fillers, often starting with one and seamlessly moving to the other.
If needed, we can apply a numbing cream beforehand so that you remain comfortable during the injections.
After your treatment, you may experience mild swelling or redness, which typically subsides quickly with the help of an ice pack and aftercare instructions provided by our team. You can help reduce post-injection bruising by avoiding blood-thinning supplements before your liquid facelift.
Afterward, you can expect smoother skin, more volume, and a boost in confidence. Keep in mind that while you can absolutely get Botox and fillers at the same time, they may require different maintenance schedules.
For example, a hyaluronic acid filler like Volbella® can last up to one year, whereas Botox generally wears off in 3–4 months.
Don’t worry — we’ll recommend the ideal treatment cadence to keep your liquid facelift looking fresh and natural.
