Botox

$300-400 per area

Fillers

$600-1,500 per syringe

Use Botox for prevention and dynamic lines. Use fillers for volume loss and deeper wrinkles. Many patients benefit from combining both.

Can I use both Botox and fillers?

Absolutely! Many patients do. Botox relaxes muscles while fillers add volume—they work together for optimal results.

Which is better for fine lines?

Botox is better for fine dynamic lines (forehead, crow's feet). Fillers are better for deeper static wrinkles and loss of volume.

How long do results last?

Botox: 3-4 months. Fillers: varies (6 months for hyaluronic acid, 12+ months for longer-lasting types).

Is one safer than the other?

Both are FDA-approved and safe when administered by qualified providers. Choose based on your specific concerns.
