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.
Botox relaxes a muscle. Filler adds volume. They solve opposite problems.
Relaxes the muscle that creases the skin. Dermal fillers: adds volume under the skin. That is the difference that matters most, and everything below is the detail underneath it. Neither is better in the abstract — they solve different problems, and the one that suits you depends on what your assessment actually shows rather than on which sounds more advanced.
How botox compares with dermal fillers.
| What it does | Relaxes the muscle that creases the skin | Adds volume under the skin |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Lines from movement — forehead, frown, crow's feet | Hollows, folds and contour |
| How long it lasts | Three to four months | Nine to eighteen months |
| Onset | Three to seven days, full effect at two weeks | Immediate |
| Downtime | None | A day or two of swelling |
The question is not which is better. It is which is right for you.

Adds volume under the skin. There are patients for whom this is the better answer, and we will say so.
Combining is common and often costs less than doing the two separately, because they share a facility and an anesthetic.
If neither fits what you want changed, a surgeon telling you that is worth more than one booking you in.
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.
That is what the consultation is for. Free, no obligation, and you leave knowing which option fits and what it costs.
