Fillers & Neurotoxins Q&A

What are fillers and neurotoxins?

Fillers and neurotoxins are aesthetic injectables used to enhance the appearance of your face or body.

Dermal fillers

Dermal fillers add volume to or change the shape of targeted tissues. Such fillers are injections that may contain hyaluronic acid, poly-L-lactic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, or polymethylmethacrylate. Examples of dermal filler brand names include Juvéderm®, Restylane®, Radiesse®, Sculptra®, and Bellafill®.

Neurotoxins

Neurotoxins containing botulinum toxin reduce lines and wrinkles by relaxing muscles responsible for smile, frown, or laugh lines. Examples of neurotoxins include Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, Daxxify®, and Jeuveau®

The Venus Medi Spa team can combine fillers with neurotoxins to personalize your results, giving you a liquid facelift.

What are the benefits of fillers and neurotoxins?

Fillers and neurotoxins offer the following anti-aging benefits for men and women:

  • Younger appearance
  • Fewer lines and wrinkles
  • Less skin sagging
  • Smoother, tighter, and healthier skin
  • Improved facial symmetry
  • Plumper lips
  • Enhanced tissue volume and contours
  • Greater self-confidence

Fillers and neurotoxins are simple, quick treatments that can achieve the youthful look you desire without incisions, surgery, downtime, or costly procedures.

Which cosmetic injectables are best for me?

You might be a candidate for neurotoxins, dermal fillers, or a combination of cosmetic injectables to achieve a flawless look. To create a personalized treatment plan, the Venus Medi Spa experts discuss your medical history, desired results, and treatment preferences. They also examine your skin to ensure your treatment plan will effectively match your goals. 

What should I expect when receiving fillers and neurotoxins?

Your Venus Medi Spa provider can numb the treatment area before you receive fillers or neurotoxins to maximize comfort. They clean your skin and gently insert a fine needle to inject filler substances or neurotoxins beneath the surface of your skin. The treatment takes just a minute or so for each injection, and you typically receive multiple injections during each visit.

What can I expect after treatment with fillers and neurotoxins?

You may develop temporary redness or swelling at the site of the injections after receiving cosmetic injectables. You’ll notice the results of fillers right away, but it may take a few days before the effects of neurotoxins kick in. Neurotoxin injections often last about 3-5 months before you need to repeat treatment, while fillers could last 6-18 months or longer.
