Botox VS Filler and Realistic Results!
I get asked at least once a day from many patients what the difference is between botox and filler, what they should get, when they should get it, and the cost. I always first and foremost recommend scheduling a consultation with an injector, but then I love to share my experience with these treatments over the years. Being able to relate a person and an outcome with a specific treatment usually gets the ball rolling as to what you may desire in a final look. You also won't find anyone more real with an answer than ME🩵 Nothing fake here except whats in my face🤣
All jokes aside, we start with somewhat defining the 2...and My bestie Josie Burgmaier at Vitality Aesthetics and Wellness helps me break this all down.
Botox is injected in the muscle to essentially stop the constant movement of those muscle groups, thus creating less movement in the skin and relaxation and smoothing effects in the deep lines and wrinkles. Think forehead, eleven lines (in between brows) crows feet, around and under the eye. Also for specific use in the lower face and neck.
Filler is injected in areas where you lack volume, or have had bone loss and fat loss. This is the most significant tool in extreme weight loss side effects. Mostly lower face, cheeks, jaw, nasal labial folds around mouth and of course the infamous 💋 lips. Also for other uses in the temple and chin, lower face and neck.
These treatments also compliment each other and work well together. Josie will give you the best consultation for the best results.
These treatments are definitely an investment in your own wellbeing, and we do them not to be vain or "over the top" or "high maintenance " , but to age gracefully.
These treatments also give the best results when combined with amazing chemical peels, microneedling and a good home care routine. Healthy skin responds best to high level treatments like these.
I have been receiving botox for about 10 years now in multiple areas of the face, every 3 to 4 months and Filler for almost as long every 1 to 2 years.
I have been more diligent with it after a significant weight loss over the last 4 years, also working with Josie, and have incorporated much better food choices and 3 to 4 days a week in the gym.
The fact of the matter is, everyone needs something different, everyone wants something different and everyone's budget looks alittle different. Dont let anyone tell you what you should or shouldn't look like, or how you should feel. The most important things are having providers and practitioners that are knowledgeable, capable, safe and that you can trust. With us, you can always ask any questions you need and you will receive full transparency.
We are always happy to share our personal results, and current routines with you. Pricing will be tailored to each individual, and there are also payment plans available!
Here are my most recent before and afters, I'll also share her exact product and placement further down, and I'll share more pictures in a few weeks after things settle.
3 syringes of Filler to cheeks and surrounding area, 1 to lips, approximately 40 units of tox ( my normal dosage is close 100 units) . Results vary, and there are other areas we will eventually work on as well.
We love our industry and are so grateful and happy to serve you❤️💋
