Botox vs fillers: which one do you need?

They are both injectables, but they do very different jobs. Here is the simple version.

A simple way to decide

If the line is there only when you make an expression, it is usually a Botox line. If the area looks flat, hollow or thin even when your face is still, filler is usually the tool. Lines that stay at rest can need both.

Questions

What people ask us.

01Can I get Botox and filler on the same day?

Often yes. Your injector will confirm the order and timing.

02Which lasts longer, Botox or filler?

Filler usually lasts longer: about 6 to 18 months versus 3 to 4 months for Botox.

03Which is better for lips?

Filler adds volume to the lips. A small amount of Botox is sometimes used for a “lip flip”, by assessment.
