Who it's for

Who Each One Is Actually For

The question is not which is better. It is which is right for you.

Botox Suits You If…

Relaxes the muscle that creases the skin — and that is the thing you want changed. Your consultation confirms whether your anatomy supports it.

Dermal Fillers Suits You If…

Adds volume under the skin. There are patients for whom this is the better answer, and we will say so.

Sometimes It Is Both

Combining is common and often costs less than doing the two separately, because they share a facility and an anesthetic.

Sometimes It Is Neither

If neither fits what you want changed, a surgeon telling you that is worth more than one booking you in.

Botox vs Dermal Fillers: Common Questions

Whichever suits the problem. Botox and Dermal Fillers address different things, so the better result is the one matched to what you actually want changed. A comparison that names a winner without seeing you is marketing.

It depends on the amount of work rather than the label. Both are quoted at a free consultation as one all-inclusive figure, locked at booking.

Often, yes, and often in one session. Combined procedures share the facility and the anesthetic, which usually makes two together cheaper than two apart.

By being assessed. The honest answer is that the decision is made looking at your body, not at a comparison table — the table tells you what the options do, and the consultation tells you which one does what you want.
