Can Botox and dermal fillers be done at same appointment?
Botox and fillers are commonly performed at the same treatment visit. Botox smooths wrinkles of expression and provides a rested look. Dermal fillers are used to smooth deeper lines and to replace lost volume in the face (aka Liquid Lift) or hands to reduce the veiny, bony appearance.
Common Botox uses
Botox injections can do many things, but most patients use Botox to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Some patients may get Botox to treat the following:

How does Botox reduce the appearance of face wrinkles?
Botox works by disabling the facial muscles that cause wrinkles – specifically, those causing crow’s feet (wrinkles at the corner of your eyes) and the frown lines between a person’s eyes. Botox does this by directly blocking the nerve signal that tells the muscles to contract.
Once injected, the muscle becomes paralyzed, leading to the reduction of so-called “dynamic wrinkles” or wrinkles that are only present when muscles contract. This is why Botox is so effective on the wrinkles around the mouth and cheeks (apparent when we smile) and at the corner of the eyes (apparent when we squint, frown, and grimace).

What is Botox?
Botox is a cosmetic treatment that is commonly injected to soften wrinkles around the eyes, between the brows and on the forehead. The brand name of a type of toxin produced by a bacteria called Clostridium botulinum. It was discovered almost 100 years ago and has been in medical use for decades. The toxin has different medical purposes based on the specific type used, ranging from type A to type G.
Type A, the most potent, can appear under the names Botox, Xeomin, Jeuveau, and Dysport.
Each is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to reduce facial wrinkles and horizontal forehead lines.
Is Dysport the same as Botox?
Dysport is a different well known brand of neuromodulator. It is used in the same areas as Botox and has the same benefits. At CSLC, we are not brand loyal and we inject both Dysport and Botox all day, every day. Your provider will discuss the benefits of Botox and Dysport at your appointment.

Google Patient Review
“Six years later and I wish I could give them even more stars! This place is amazing! I’ve had my Botox here for years and I have zero lines on my face! I also have laser hair removal, Hydrafacials, microneedling, and other amazing procedures. I moved 4 hours away and I drive back up every 3 months to have everything I need done. I’ve tried to talk to other places and none have come close to CSLC. I have recommended over a dozen friends and family here and they all had things done and still go here years later. I will never go anywhere else!”

Botox Frequently Asked Questions
The term “neuromodulator” describes the category of substances that affect nerve function. These can be natural substances such as acetylcholine, dopamine, and serotonin, or medications.
In aesthetic medicine, neuromodulators act as a muscle relaxant that softens skin lines by restricting the facial muscles from contracting. The effects of neuromodulators can reduce or erase wrinkles, decrease oil production, and improve facial contouring to provide a younger, refreshed appearance.
Neuromodulators like Botox differ from dermal fillers, which are gel-like substances that are injected into certain areas of the face to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles, fine lines, and folds in the skin by restoring volume.
Aesthetic neuromodulators, like Botox, block the release of acetylcholine from the nerve endings in charge of activating the body’s muscles. The muscles then become inactive for some period of time, usually several months. This helps to diminish the appearance of wrinkles that form due to repeated muscle contractions squeezing the skin. Because Botox works by inhibiting nerve transmission, it’s classified as a neuromodulator.
The Physician Associates and Nurses at Cosmetic Skin & Laser Center use three popular neuromodulators: Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin. Many of our clients have experienced successful results and submit rave reviews about Dysport. This product is newer to the neuromodulator market than the traditional, tried-and-true Botox.
Dysport offers a greater variety of sizes and molecular weight of proteins comprised in the solution, allowing it to easily spread throughout an injection area and cover more space. Some patients have seen quicker results with Dysport thanks to this improved formula and distribution.
Facial neuromodulator injections last three-to-four months for most people. Some patients’ injections may last up to six months. Some of our clients find one brand works longer than others for them or has a faster onset of action. Be sure to discuss these specifics with your Cosmetic Skin and Laser Center provider to help choose the brand that’s best for you.
Absolutely. At CSLC about half of our patients combine dermal fillers and Botox at the same visit. Botox softens wrinkles by relaxing muscles and dermal fillers fill deeper lines, elevate sagging cheeks, and improve under-eye hollowing.
Neuromodulators like Botox relax the body’s muscles for a period of months. At Cosmetic Skin & Laser Center, we use Botox injections to reduce fine lines and wrinkles in the face. Our Master Injectors also inject Botox daily for lip flip, brow lift, TMJ, and neck rejuvenation.
Severe side effects of neuromodulators are rare. In fact, in our 19 years (and tens of thousands of injections) with Botox at Cosmetic Skin & Laser Center, we’ve never seen a patient have a severe side effect. We do see occasional bruising from the injection. When too much Botox is injected into the forehead, the brows can feel heavy. A droopy eyelid (which is easily remedied with prescription eye drops) is rare. Although deaths from counterfeit (fake) Botox have been reported, it’s rare and has never been reported from a brand name manufacturer.
In our field of aesthetic medicine, the neuromodulators brands of botulinum toxin A include Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, and Xeomin.
Yes. Although there are many different types of neuromodulators in medicine, when the term “neuromodulator” is used in aesthetics, it’s usually referring to botulinum toxin A (brand name Botox).
