BOTOX® and Filler Combination Treatment

Belladerm • April 3, 2019

When it comes to anti-aging treatments, many people have experienced how BOTOX® can smooth fine wrinkles and make you look years younger.  Dermal fillers can address what Botox can’t!!

As you age, sun damage and other factors can reduce the amount of HA (hyaluronic acid) in your skin. The lack of HA causes your skin to lose structure and volume – creating unwanted facial wrinkles and folds, like those parentheses lines around your nose and mouth. Dermal fillers can give a more natural appearance than surgical face lifts and are being used to reduce or eliminate deeper wrinkles, raise scar depressions, enhance lips, and replace soft-tissue volume loss.

What is BOTOX®?

BOTOX® is the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment. It’s made of a protein called botulinum toxin, which blocks certain nerves to relax the facial muscles. By relaxing muscle activity, BOTOX® smooths crow’s feet, frown lines, and eye/forehead wrinkles. BOTOX® can last from three to four months, depending on the treatment.

What are fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectables often made of hyaluronic acid that plumps the skin to fill in lines and smooth out creases. Filler injections are used to treat nasolabial folds, increase lip fullness, and restore volume to the cheeks. Fillers can last from six to 18 months, depending on the area of application.

How do BOTOX® and fillers work together?

BOTOX® and fillers are two types of injectables made of substances that affect the body in different ways. When used at the same time, they complement each other. According to a scholarly review in the Dermatologic Therapy journal, the combined use of BOTOX® and dermal fillers will increase tissue-dwelling time for injectables. Without BOTOX®, fillers don’t last as long because the body absorbs the substance over time. The more active and animated the face, the sooner fillers disappear. BOTOX® reduces muscle movement so fillers are less likely to break down as quickly. Combined treatment addresses multiple facial features at once and offers a more complete, longer-lasting facial lift.

What GLP-1 Medications Do Best
December 1, 2025
If you have been researching treatments for sun damage, uneven tone, or redness, you have likely come across BBL HEROIC™, the newest generation of BroadBand Light by Sciton . This advanced light-based treatment is one of the most effective ways to reverse visible signs of aging and improve skin clarity with minimal downtime. December is an ideal time to begin BBL HEROIC™ in Minnesota because sun exposure is lower and patients are ready to refresh their skin for the winter season. This guide explains exactly what to expect during your first BBL HEROIC™ photofacial so you feel prepared, informed, and confident before your appointment at Belladerm MedSpa. What BBL HEROIC™ Treats BBL HEROIC™ (High Energy Rapid Output and Intense Cooling) is known for its ability to dramatically improve discoloration and overall skin tone. It is commonly recommended for patients seeking treatment for: Sun damage and brown spots Freckles and hyperpigmentation Redness and rosacea Broken capillaries Dull or uneven skin tone Rough texture and visible aging Because BBL HEROIC™ delivers quick, consistent, high-energy pulses of light, patients often see faster and more noticeable results than with traditional BBL. What BBL HEROIC™ Feels Like A common question from first-time patients is what BBL HEROIC™ feels like. The treatment is quick and very tolerable for most individuals. Here is what you can expect: Protective eye shields will be placed before the treatment begins. A cooling gel is applied to the skin to enhance comfort and ensure smooth movement of the handpiece. Each pulse feels like a warm snap or quick flick of heat combined with a flash of bright light. The advanced cooling built into the HEROIC™ platform makes the treatment more comfortable than traditional IPL or older BBL devices. Most full-face BBL HEROIC™ treatments take only 30 minutes. Many patients add the neck, chest, or hands for more comprehensive results. Timeline of BBL HEROIC™ Results Understanding the treatment timeline helps set clear expectations for first-time patients. Immediately after treatment: Skin may look pink or slightly flushed. Brown pigment will darken temporarily. This is normal and expected. Days 2 to 5: Brown spots begin to look like small, dark speckles (commonly called “peppering”). These gradually rise to the skin’s surface and naturally slough off. Redness and small blood vessels begin to fade. One to two weeks after treatment: Skin tone appears more even and bright. Texture improves, and makeup applies more smoothly. Overall clarity continues to improve. Multiple sessions: While many patients see visible improvement after one treatment, a series of three to six BBL HEROIC™ sessions produces the most transformative results, especially for sun damage, rosacea, and persistent pigment. BBL HEROIC™ Aftercare Proper aftercare is essential to protect your results and prevent new pigmentation from forming. Recommended aftercare: Use gentle skincare for the first 48 hours. Keep the skin hydrated. Apply sunscreen daily. Allow darkened pigment to naturally flake off without picking or exfoliating. What to avoid: Intense exercise or high heat for 24 hours. Direct sun exposure, even in winter. Scrubbing or exfoliating the treated area. Normal Side Effects After BBL HEROIC™ It is normal to experience mild, temporary side effects immediately after treatment, including: Pinkness or slight redness Warmth or a mild sunburn-like sensation Darkening of brown spots Light swelling in sensitive areas Most patients return to normal daily activities the same day. Begin Your BBL HEROIC™ Journey at Belladerm MedSpa BBL HEROIC™ is one of the most powerful and reliable treatments for reversing sun damage, evening out skin tone, and restoring natural radiance. If you are ready to improve clarity, reduce redness, or correct pigmentation, our experienced providers are here to create a customized treatment plan based on your goals.
