Yes, Botox can often be combined with other aesthetic treatments to achieve even more dramatic and comprehensive results! Dr. Addison can discuss the best options for you during your consultation. Here are a few examples:
Dermal Fillers: Fillers can be used to add volume and definition to areas that have lost fullness due to aging, while Botox relaxes muscles to smooth wrinkles.
Microneedling: This minimally invasive treatment creates tiny controlled injuries in the skin, triggering collagen production and cellular renewal. Botox can then be used to address wrinkles while microneedling improves overall skin texture and tone.
Laser Skin Resurfacing: Laser treatments can target sun damage, uneven skin tone, and certain scars. Botox can then be used to address wrinkles for a more complete rejuvenation.
It's important to note that the order of treatments and the amount of time needed between them will vary depending on the specific procedures you choose. Dr. Addison will create a personalized treatment plan to ensure optimal safety and results.
