Combining Treatments: Using Dermal Fillers with Other Treatments

Those seeking aesthetic facial enhancements such as the perfect pout or sculpted jawline often turn to dermal fillers. These innovative injectables boast a range of incredible results for your clients and are an effective way to restore lost volume and balance facial features. It is therefore no surprise that dermal fillers are considered one of the most popular medical cosmetic treatments available on the market and offering them at your clinic can be a very lucrative revenue stream.

However, for many, dermal fillers make up only part of their aesthetic treatments, with a lot of clients also looking to harness the benefits of other treatments such as anti-wrinkle injections, skin boosters, and mesotherapy. This Fox Pharma article will detail how dermal fillers can be combined with other cosmetic products as well as delving into whether you can mix different brands of dermal fillers.

Combining Dermal Fillers with Other Treatments

Clients looking for the ultimate ‘glow up’ or rejuvenation will be keen to combine the benefits of dermal fillers with other cosmetic treatments and injectables. But, is this safe? And, can dermal fillers even be combined with other kinds of treatments? The answer is yes, though the amount of time required between these treatments can vary. Below, we go through some common examples of treatments that can be combined to provide a holistic treatment for your clients.

Can Botox and Filler Be Done at the Same Time?

As two very popular treatments, anti-wrinkle injections such as Botox and dermal fillers are individually sought after by clients for effective facial rejuvenation. These treatments can be combined together and are commonly done so, the combination is known as a ‘liquid facelift’.

These two treatments can safely be carried out at the same time as they contain different primary ingredients that do not interfere with each other. They cannot be injected in the same area but can be safely used in distinct areas in the face. 

In a liquid facelift, Botox’s injection sites are typically the glabellar lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines, whilst dermal fillers are injected in the nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and cheeks. It is a highly effective combination to create a more youthful complexion, as dermal fillers work to restore volume in the face and reduce static wrinkles whilst anti-wrinkle injections will smooth out and reduce dynamic wrinkles.

Mesotherapy and Dermal Fillers

For anyone looking for enhanced features and healthier, vitamin-loaded skin, another popular combination of aesthetic treatments is dermal fillers and mesotherapy injections. However, mesotherapy and filler treatments cannot be performed at the same time. It is important to guide your clients on the amount of time between these treatments, depending on their treatment plan and individual requirements.

Whilst fillers enhance features with the naturally occurring substance hyaluronic acid (HA), mesotherapy aims to perfect clients’ skin from the inside out by adding vitamins, minerals, and other valuable nutrients directly into it.

Mesotherapy can result in glowing, healthier-looking skin which is a great addition to the newly enhanced facial features. The vitamin cocktail is injected directly into the skin, which means it works quicker and is more effective than applied lotions or creams. Faces will benefit from both treatments differently and gain a naturally rejuvenated look without surgery.

Combining Dermal Fillers, Skin Boosters, and PLLA Stimulators

Combining dermal fillers, skin boosters, and PLLA collagen stimulators is the ultimate way to restore volume and rejuvenate the skin. Using all three of these aesthetic injectables in conjunction with one another is the perfect way to turn back the clock on ageing skin and unlock a revived, youthful glow. 

Skin boosters work to intensely hydrate below the dermis, greatly boosting the skin’s quality from the inside out. Meanwhile, PLLA stimulators stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, restoring lost volume and enhancing a rejuvenated complexion.

Fox Pharma offers an exclusive Seventy Hyal 2000, REVOLAX Sub-Q, and aesPlla bundle so you can provide your clients with total volume restoration and rejuvenation.

Can You Mix Different Dermal Fillers?

When discussing combining dermal fillers with other treatments, it is important to also touch on the dangers of combining different brands of filler.

Clients can be indecisive and are intrigued by the question of whether they can benefit from using multiple brands of dermal fillers at the same time. The answer to this is a strong and clear NO. Different manufacturing processes result in different chemical structures that should not be mixed under the skin, therefore you must ensure your clients wait at least 12 months before using a different filler brand to treat the same area.

However, for people looking to benefit from more than one product and getting several parts of their face injected at once, there are ways of combining dermal filler treatments whilst utilising the strength of different fillers for different areas.

Safely Combining Dermal Filler Treatments

Dermal filler brands such as REVOLAX offer product ranges with a similar chemical formula, meaning that all fillers within the brand can safely be combined and used for different areas of the face. In the case of REVOLAX, practitioners can choose between three products, REVOLAX Fine, REVOLAX Deep, and REVOLAX Sub-Q, which cover all areas of the face and vary from a fine to a denser viscosity. A trained practitioner can assess the client’s face and choose the right product for each application area.

To sculpt and bring out facial features, REVOLAX Sub-Q is the best choice due to its high viscoelasticity and thick consistency. Concerns including superficial wrinkles like crow’s feet benefit from REVOLAX Fine’s thinner consistency whilst REVOLAX Deep is one of the most requested fillers for lip augmentations and moderate lines.

Combining two, or even all three, products enable a well-rounded outcome, meaning that the aesthetic result is generally more harmonious with the rest of the face.

In conclusion, dermal fillers can be combined with both other types of dermal fillers and different types of treatments altogether. However, which combinations are safe to use depends on the treatment type and the similarities and compatibilities of the formulas.
