Fillers vs. Neurotox® in Beverly Hills

Patients comparing dermal fillers and Neurotox® treatments in Beverly Hills are often trying to understand which approach best fits their goals. At Beverly Hills Aesthetics, these treatments are performed by Dr. Sam Assassa, a physician with decades of experience in minimally invasive facial rejuvenation and a long-standing focus on injectable techniques.

Dr. Assassa has been involved in the development and teaching of modern aesthetic methods, including volumetric facial rejuvenation and advanced injectable applications. As a frequent lecturer at international aesthetic meetings and a contributor to physician training programs, he brings a comprehensive understanding of how different injectables function, when to use them, and how to combine them for balanced, natural-looking results.

Because fillers and Neurotox® work in fundamentally different ways, one restoring volume and structure, the other relaxing targeted muscle activity, selecting the right treatment requires both technical knowledge and an understanding of facial dynamics. At Beverly Hills Aesthetics, each approach is carefully tailored to ensure results that enhance natural features without overcorrection.

NEUROTOX® FOR FACIAL WRINKLES AND FACELIFT

When it comes time to get rid of frown lines, forehead creases, crows’ feet, and under-eye wrinkles that often show up at our 20-30’s―there is one treatment that seems to do the trick better than others. Neurotox® Cosmetic is widely used as a cosmetic enhancement to temporarily reduce wrinkles and fine lines in the face, banish neck bands and clear away crow’s feet. It’s best to start the use of these muscle relaxants in the early ’20s to prevent fine lines from becoming deeper.

Neurotox® is made up of a purified protein that reverses the signs of aging and virtually eliminates dynamic wrinkles while giving the face a refreshed appearance. Plus, the best part of Neurotox® for facial wrinkle removal is that treatment is only required three to four times throughout the year. A single treatment of Neurotox® will normally be sustained for approximately three months, and you will notice a gradual fading of its effects. At this point, you simply return to our practice for your next treatment. The effects of neuromodulators last only 3-4 months.

DERMAL FILLERS: REJUVENATE, LIFT AND CONTOUR THE FACE

There are many types of dermal injections on the market today, the most popular consist of a substance called Hyaluronic Acid.
Hyaluronic Acid-based, cosmetic dermal fillers are among the safest and the results are immediate. Hyaluronic Acid is structurally similar to collagen and has the same appearance when injected into various areas and depths of the face.

The results of dermal fillers are incredible including contouring of the face, directly adding volume, stimulating new collagen formation, and completely rejuvenating the look and feel of your skin.

Additionally, Hyaluronic Acid-based injectable fillers are reversible. Though it’s rare, if a patient is unsatisfied with the results, we can safely remove the filler at a future appointment. Generally, fillers will last approximately 12 months.

Dermal fillers restore volume and enhance facial contours, while Neurotox® relaxes targeted muscles to reduce the appearance of expression lines.

How do I know which treatment is right for me?

The best option depends on your specific concerns, whether they involve volume loss, wrinkles caused by muscle movement, or a combination of both. A personalized evaluation is the most effective way to determine the right approach.

Can fillers and Neurotox® be combined?

Yes, many patients benefit from a combination of both treatments. This allows for a more comprehensive approach by addressing both structural volume and dynamic wrinkles.

Will the results look natural?

When performed with proper technique and planning, both fillers and Neurotox® are designed to enhance natural features without creating an overdone or artificial appearance.

Most injectable treatments involve little to no downtime, though mild swelling or bruising may occur depending on the area treated.
