4 Things You Should Know Before Getting Botox Or Fillers

Botox and dermal fillers are popular, minimally invasive cosmetic procedures that can dramatically reduce the signs of aging and rejuvenate the face. If you’re considering getting either (or both) of them done, then be sure to carry out due diligence regarding your potential provider.

The following are four vital aspects that you should know before having Botox or dermal fillers carried out.

The Big 4: your essential guide to the best dermal fillers & Botox treatment

• #1: Dermal fillers & Botox can be carried out at the same time
• #2: Great fillers & Botox make you look totally natural
• #3: Dermal fillers & Botox should be preceded by an in-depth consultation
• #4: If the price is too good to be true, then it probably is 

#1: Dermal fillers & Botox can be carried out at the same time

Because the two procedures are designed to treat different aging concerns, they can be carried out at the same time. However, while this is the case, your practitioner might advise a gap between the two—it all depends on the individual.  

Botox (or Dysport, another similar treatment) targets wrinkles and areas where the skin has lost the firmness in the underlying structure. Areas include lines around the eyes, furrows between the eyebrows, and those around the mouth. 

Dermal fillers target a loss of facial volume, often seen around the cheeks and beneath the eyes. If you’re having both procedures, a practitioner might, in some cases, advise having Botox injections first, and then waiting a few weeks to see how the body reacts to it.

#2: Great fillers & Botox make you look totally natural

We’ve all seen the images of those who’ve ended up with less than perfect results after cosmetic procedures. Issues, such as ‘duck lips’ are the result of poorly performed dermal fillers. A frozen look or a face that’s less than animated are where Botox injections are inexpertly applied. These are certainly not desirable outcomes. 

Done correctly, dermal fillers and/or Botox provide a wholly natural, enhanced look that’ll have friends and relatives knowing that ‘something is different’ but they can’t quite put their finger on it. They’ll just say that you look great and undoubtedly want to know your secret. Of course, it’s up to you whether you tell them…

#3: Dermal fillers & Botox should be preceded by an in-depth consultation

Expect to have a consultation before any treatment is carried out. While it’s normal to have a consultation on the same day as any procedure, you should expect this to include considerations of your expectations, a physical examination of the areas you want to be treated, a full past medical history, and an honest appraisal of what your practitioner will realistically be able to achieve. 

You should also be informed as to the necessary commitment to your facial project. Neither Botox nor dermal fillers are permanent, so you’ll likely need multiple treatments in the future to maintain the look. As the years roll by, touch-ups will be needed, although a reputable practitioner will not overdo either procedure, as this can have detrimental effects on the skin.

#4: If the price is too good to be true, then it probably is

If the quoted cost is lower than any other outlet, then you should ask yourself why. Dermal fillers and Botox don’t come cheap. If the price is way below the average, then it might be that the provider is using a cheaper, less-effective option that might have lower safety levels and/or is a waste of money. 

Another aspect to consider is the expertise of the provider. The application of injectables is a highly skilled task. Not all injectors are made equal, so be sure to only avail yourself of the most experienced practitioners with a proven track record.
