How to Pay for Aesthetic Treatments: Financing, Memberships and Specials
Botox® relaxes the muscles that create expression lines, while dermal fillers add volume under the skin to smooth folds and restore shape. One softens movement; the other replaces what time has taken away. That is why the right choice depends on what kind of line or change you are seeing.
Botox® Cosmetic is a purified protein injected into specific facial muscles. It temporarily limits how strongly those muscles contract, so the skin on top creases less. It works best on dynamic wrinkles, the lines that appear when you move your face:
Results start to show within a few days and settle in about two weeks. Most people schedule maintenance every few months. Read more about Botox® at Allied.
Fillers in the Juvéderm® collection are made of hyaluronic acid, a sugar your skin produces naturally to hold moisture. Placed beneath the skin, filler restores volume and structure. Fillers are best for static changes, the ones you see even when your face is at rest:
Results are visible right away and can last about one to two years depending on the product and area. Explore dermal fillers.
Look in the mirror and make an expression. If a line deepens when you frown, smile or raise your brows, Botox® is usually the first step. If a line or hollow is there even when your face is relaxed, filler is often the better fit. Many concerns involve both, which is why a consultation is the best place to start.
A combined plan treats the face as a whole. For example, Botox® can soften crow's feet while filler restores lost cheek volume that makes the eye area look tired. Used together, they create a refreshed look that still looks like you. Your provider may treat both in one visit or spread them out.
Both treatments are medical procedures. At Allied, injectables are performed by master-certified injectors working under the delegation of our Medical Director, as required by Colorado Rule 800. Ask any provider about their training, the products they use and how they handle complications. Our guide on choosing the right aesthetic injector has a checklist.
Filler generally lasts longer, about one to two years, while Botox® results typically last a few months.
Often, yes. Your provider will decide based on your treatment areas and comfort.
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved by a trained provider if needed, which is one reason they are so widely used.
Not with a conservative, natural approach. Our injectors aim for subtle, balanced results.
