Combining Injectable Treatments for Natural, Long-Lasting Results
Injectable treatments have become a trusted solution for enhancing natural beauty and addressing signs of aging. By combining different types of injectables, such as neuromodulators and dermal fillers, board-certified dermatologists and dermatological providers can achieve results that look natural and last longer. This tailored approach allows for a harmonious balance of smoothing wrinkles, restoring volume, and defining facial contours—all while keeping you looking like the best version of yourself.
Why Combine Injectables?
While neuromodulators and dermal fillers each offer unique benefits, their effects complement one another beautifully. Neuromodulators like Botox or Dysport relax facial muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles (caused by repeated expressions), while fillers restore volume and contour to areas where it’s been lost. Together, they create a harmonious, refreshed appearance.
Common Areas for Injectable Combinations
Here’s how combining treatments can enhance specific areas:
Forehead and Eyes: Neuromodulators soften lines caused by repeated muscle movement (like crow’s feet and forehead wrinkles), while fillers lift the brows or restore volume to hollow temples.
Cheeks and Nasolabial Folds: Fillers restore volume in the mid-face, lifting sagging skin and reducing the appearance of smile lines.
Lips and Chin: Combine lip fillers for volume with neuromodulators to address fine lines around the mouth or create a more defined jawline.
Jawline and Neck: Neuromodulators can reduce the appearance of neck bands, while fillers enhance jawline definition and contour.
The Benefits of a Combined Approach
Comprehensive Rejuvenation: Addressing multiple concerns at once results in a balanced, youthful look.
Natural-Looking Results: A combined approach avoids over-correction in any one area, maintaining harmony across the face.
Customizable Plans: Treatment can be tailored to your unique needs, allowing you to target specific concerns while enhancing your overall appearance.
Longevity: Strategic use of both injectables extends the benefits of each treatment, maximizing their effectiveness.
What to Expect During a Combination Injectable Treatment
Your board-certified dermatologist or dermatological provider will start with a detailed consultation to understand your goals. They’ll assess your facial anatomy and discuss the best combination of treatments to achieve your desired results.
During the procedure:
Neuromodulators are typically injected first to relax targeted muscles.
Dermal fillers are then applied to restore volume and contour.
The entire process is quick, and most patients experience minimal discomfort. Afterward, you may have some swelling or redness, but these effects usually subside within a few days.
How Long Do Results Last?
The longevity of your results depends on the specific products used and your body’s natural metabolism:
Neuromodulators generally last 3–4 months.
Dermal fillers can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type and placement.
With regular maintenance, combination treatments can keep you looking refreshed year-round.
Is This Approach Right for You?
Combination injectable treatments are ideal for patients looking to address multiple concerns in a natural and effective way. Whether you’re targeting early signs of aging or seeking a more comprehensive rejuvenation, this approach can deliver subtle, long-lasting results.
