Botox and fillers are two different cosmetic injectables that often get mistaken for each other. While they’re not the same, their results complement each other, and you can plan to get either one or both with Shorebreak Concierge. Here’s what sets them apart from each other:

Botox

Botox works by modifying nerve impulses. It prohibits certain muscle movements while it’s active in your tissues. By relaxing certain muscles, the wrinkles associated with them disappear.

Botox and fillers are two different cosmetic injectables that often get mistaken for each other. While they’re not the same, their results complement each other, and you can plan to get either one or both with Shorebreak Concierge. Here’s what sets them apart from each other:

Fillers

Fillers add volume to targeted areas of your face using hyaluronic acid. Dermal fillers help in diminishing facial lines and restoring fullness to the face.

Botox and fillers can both target signs of aging. Botox specifically minimizes fine facial lines like crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead lines. It can also treat hyperhidrosis, a disorder that causes excessive sweating.

The FDA-approved facial fillers at Shorebreak Concierge serve more purposes. With them, you can target features like:

• Sunken cheeks
• Thin or thinning lips
• Asymmetrical lips
• Asymmetrical facial contours
• Large wrinkles in the lower face
• Lip lines

The injection process for both treatments takes about 30-45 minutes from start to finish. Either treatment requires little to no downtime.

How should I prepare for Botox and fillers?

Preparing for Botox and fillers with Shorebreak Concierge is as simple as scheduling a quick consultation. You discuss your goals with a provider who makes recommendations for a specific product or products.

Your provider might give you a few tips to follow for a smooth upcoming injection procedure. They might suggest that you:

• Stop taking blood-thinning medications and supplements
• Avoid smoking
• Clean your skin before your appointment
• Report any known allergies

To make sure you’re a good candidate for the Botox or filler treatments you want, your provider goes over your medical history and assesses your skin health.

How long do Botox and filler results last?

Botox lasts for 3-4 months at a time. Fillers can vary, but typically hyaluronic acid fillers — the most common — last for 9-18 months. With either, you can book regular injection appointments for upkeep with Shorebreak Concierge.
