Combinable Treatments

While neither dermal fillers nor Botox are universally better than the other, they work differently to address different concerns. In fact, pairing the two aesthetic injectables can offer incredible results.
Dermal fillers focus on restoring volume and redefining contours in areas such as the cheeks, lips, and jawline. While filling the area may smooth some wrinkles, fillers do not relax wrinkles like Botox does. Botox limits specific muscle movements to reverse and prevent wrinkles caused by facial expressions, including crow’s feet and frown lines. Our professionals will help you decide which solution is best for your specific needs.
While there’s minimal preparation for dermal fillers, we recommend avoiding alcohol, NSAIDs, Omega-3 supplements, and retinol-based products for 3 to 7 days before your appointment. Our experts will provide personalized recommendations based on your medical history, which may include starting antiviral medication.
Don’t be alarmed if you experience minor redness or swelling after receiving injections; this is a natural reaction that typically resolves itself within 24 to 48 hours. While you’ll notice immediate results, remember that the formula takes about 2 weeks to settle.
Your doctor will provide detailed aftercare instructions to follow after receiving dermal fillers in Decatur, but you can return to work immediately. While aftercare is minimal, it’s important to avoid strenuous exercise, sun exposure, and applying makeup to the area for at least 24 hours. We recommend using an ice pack to reduce any swelling and drinking plenty of water to help your body recover. If you have any questions once you leave, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team.
Typically, dermal fillers last anywhere from 12 to 18 months. However, your timeline may vary depending on the treatment area, the brand of filler, and your body’s unique response and metabolism. With maintenance injections, you can uphold your results long-term.
