Botox and Fillers

The cost of treatment with Botox, Dysport, or dermal fillers varies depending on the product used and the amount of medication needed. During your consultation, we’ll create a customized treatment plan and outline your expected costs and payment options.

Most injectables last between four and six months. Some long-lasting dermal fillers like Sculptra may provide results for a year or more after treatment. Patients who want to enjoy longer-term rejuvenation can return to our office on occasion for touch-up treatments. With a few injections each year, patients can enjoy long-term results from dermal fillers.

Our injectable treatments are well-tolerated by most patients. We use a small needle and work quickly to minimize patient discomfort during treatment. If you wish, we can apply a topical anesthetic at your request. Some fillers contain lidocaine in their formulation to increase comfort during and after injection.

Botox and Dysport® are both neuromodulators made from the botulinum toxin. These two treatments work similarly, but with a few distinct differences. Dysport tends to have a larger spread, making this treatment ideal for larger areas of wrinkling (like the forehead). Botox treatments may be a better option for smaller areas. Botox injections are more concentrated than Dysport, requiring less product to achieve similar results. Dysport typically starts working a day or two sooner than Botox injections.

If you’re interested in refreshing your appearance with cosmetic injectables, you’re likely a good candidate for treatment. Fillers and neuromodulators are versatile and safe for most patients. We recommend that patients considering injectables do not smoke, have realistic expectations, and are in good overall health. These injectables can transform your face, but results are generally temporary and less dramatic than facial surgery.

There’s a direct correlation between an injector’s skill and the quality of your results. Dr. Vandegrift is a highly trained plastic surgeon with extensive experience using cosmetic injectables. She has built a reputation for creating superb results using these products. While many surgeons in the area have impressive technical skills, Dr. Vandegrift also provides a unique partnership approach to working with each patient. She will listen to your needs, ensure you feel heard and valued, and work with you to provide a superior experience throughout the treatment process.

There is no need to choose between Botox and dermal fillers. These two classes of cosmetic injectables pair beautifully. Dr. Vandegrift will help you determine which products are best for your aesthetic goals.

Dr. Vandegrift uses five different dermal fillers: Revanesse®, Restylane®, Juvéderm®, RHA®, and Sculptra®. Each provides unique benefits. We carry all five options for a full suite of products to create stunning results for each patient. Various filler formulations work better in different patients and facial areas.

Revanesse, Juvéderm, Restylane, and RHA are all hyaluronic acid fillers. HA fillers are the most popular type of dermal filler. They are soft gel fillers created with hyaluronic acid. HA fillers are versatile and well-tolerated by most patients. They create a natural-looking result that appears immediately after treatment and lasts for several months.

Sculptra is another filler we offer. Sculptra works differently than HA fillers. Rather than filling in areas that need more volume, Sculptra works with the body to encourage collagen growth and production. The new collagen remains in the skin long-term. Sculptra provides results for a year or more after treatment, much longer than most HA dermal fillers.
