Look Your Best for the Holidays with Botox® and Fillers

Many people have gatherings, parties, and trips to see loved ones on their holiday agendas. If that’s you, you probably want to look your best for these occasions. Beyond dressing to the nines, cosmetic services like Botox® and fillers can help you look your best for the festivities. 

With expert knowledge of facial fat distribution and how the skin behaves, Vitaly Blatnoy, MD, and the team at Orlando Dermatology Center can customize your injectable treatment to harmonize your facial features. 

Simply visit our offices in Oviedo, Orlando, Lake Mary, and Casselberry, Florida, for an initial consultation. Dr. Blatnoy and the team can help you decide which injectables to get to meet your facial rejuvenation goals before the holidays. 

What Botox can do

Botox, a botulinum toxin injectable, erases fine lines and wrinkles that commonly show on aging skin. It specifically treats the fine lines that form from repeated facial movements like smiling or furrowing your brow.

The Orlando Dermatology Center team may recommend Botox if you want to minimize any of these common lines:

• Crow’s feet
• Frown lines
• Forehead lines
• Neck lines
• Chin wrinkles or dimples

Botox treats these wrinkles by weakening the muscles that cause them to form. While Botox is active, those muscles don’t flex like they normally do. This flattens the targeted wrinkle for an average of 3-4 months. 

What fillers can do

Fillers work differently from Botox. Instead of deactivating muscles to treat fine lines, they add volume beneath the skin with a soft injectable material like hyaluronic acid (HA). You can use them to treat larger wrinkles, add volume to areas with little fat, or improve facial symmetry. 

Fillers can give you:

• Fuller lips
• Fuller cheeks
• More symmetrical facial features
• Reduced marionette lines
• Reduced smile lines
• Less visible scarring
• More youthful-looking hands

Overall, you can use fillers to achieve a more youthful appearance just in time to see loved ones this holiday season. With HA fillers, results last up to a year. Other filler types offer longer-lasting results because they help your skin produce new collagen (a structural protein). 

How long it takes to see results

Whether you get Botox, fillers, or a little of each, you can expect it to take a little time to see the full effect. Botox results appear in 10-14 days, while swelling takes a few days to subside after fillers. 

All in all, it’s best to book these services a week or longer ahead of any holiday gatherings you plan to attend.
