Combining Botox and Dermal Fillers for the Ultimate Liquid Face-lift

If you want to rejuvenate your face but don’t want surgery, you’ve come to the right place.

Thanks to medical advancements, you can banish your wrinkles, shore up your sagging skin, and look younger without going under the knife. Combining Botox® and dermal fillers provides a powerful solution known as a liquid face-lift, and we offer it here at Brooklyn Aesthetics in the Brighton Beach neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York.

Dr. Boris Itsokovich and our skilled team of aesthetic specialists have extensive experience combining injectables to create subtle or dramatic changes. Let’s start with how they work differently to understand how they work together. 

What does Botox do?

Botox temporarily paralyzes muscles by blocking chemical signals from nerves that cause them to contract, so they can’t contract and crease your skin. Voila, no more wrinkles.

Botox has become a household name because it works. The procedure is quick, typically 10-15 minutes, with results visible within a few days. You need practically no downtime, and the effects last for about 3-4 months.

However, Botox only works on dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions. 

What do dermal fillers do?

Dermal fillers are injectable substances we use to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. Unlike Botox, fillers address static wrinkles and volume loss caused by aging.

We use several brands at Brooklyn Aesthetics because each formula has unique properties and specializes in different facial areas.

Juvéderm®

Juvéderm contains hyaluronic acid, which provides instant volume and hydration. It treats nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and lip enhancement. 

Restylane®

Restylane is another hyaluronic acid filler known for its versatility. We use it to treat fine lines, deep wrinkles, and lost volume. 

Radiesse®

Radiesse is a calcium hydroxylapatite filler that stimulates collagen production. It’s ideal for restoring volume in your cheeks and jawline, providing immediate and long-lasting results. Radiesse’s collagen-boosting properties also improve your skin texture over time.

Sculptra®

Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid filler that gradually restores volume by promoting collagen growth. It’s particularly effective for treating hollow areas like your temples and cheeks. 

Belotero Balance®

Belotero Balance is a hyaluronic acid filler that integrates seamlessly into your skin. It’s ideal for treating fine lines and delicate areas, such as under your eyes and around your mouth. 

Dermal fillers provide immediate results with minimal downtime and address various concerns, from smoothing nasolabial folds and marionette lines to plumping lips and enhancing cheekbones. Results typically last six months to two years, depending on the filler type.

Botox and fillers: Better together

Because Botox and fillers specialize in different types of wrinkles, using them together guarantees you’ll address all your facial flaws. 

Botox targets dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement, while fillers address static wrinkles and volume loss. Together, they create a balanced, youthful appearance.

We customize your treatment plan to address whatever’s bothering you. For instance, we may use Botox to smooth your forehead lines and fillers to enhance your cheek volume.

While Botox temporarily relaxes your muscles, fillers offer longer-lasting volume restoration. Combining treatments can extend the overall duration of both.

Which facial flaws does a liquid face-lift fix?

The powerful, one-two punch of the Botox-filler liquid face-lift tackles some of the toughest complexion complaints, such as:

• Nasolabial folds: the lines that run from your nose to the corners of your mouth
• Marionette lines, which extend from the corners of your mouth to your chin
• Hollow cheeks and temples that occur when you lose collagen, fat, and volume
• Fine lines and wrinkles that look like crepe paper
• Minor scar depressions
• Thin lips
• Vertical lip lines or “smokers’ lines”

You can have it all with a double dose of injectables. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Itskovich today by calling our office at 718-550-6956 or using our online booking tool.
