Choosing the Right Injectable: Filler and Neurotoxin FAQs Answered

December 3, 2025

Are you looking for a holiday-ready glow or considering facial rejuvenation this season in Plantation, FL? At Elevate Med and Aesthetics, we know that choosing the right cosmetic injectables—dermal fillers or neurotoxins—can be confusing, especially with so many cutting-edge options available. Whether you’re prepping for festive gatherings or making self-care a priority in your New Year's resolutions, we’re breaking down the essentials to help you make the perfect choice for your face, lifestyle, and goals.


Understanding the Difference: Fillers vs Neurotoxins

Injectables are top-rated in leading med spa treatments for residents across Plantation, Davie, Sunrise, and the greater Broward County area. However, many clients still ask, “Should I get Botox or fillers?”


Here’s a quick breakdown:


- Neurotoxins (such as Botox, Xeomin, Dysport, Jeuveau, or Daxxify): These relax targeted facial muscles to smooth dynamic lines caused by movement—think crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles.

- Dermal Fillers (such as Revanesse Versa, RHA, Versa Lips, or Skinvive): These restore lost volume, enhance contours, and plump areas like lips, cheeks, and under-eyes for immediate rejuvenation.


Both options offer minimally invasive, non-surgical results—with quick in-office procedures and little downtime, making them a perfect pick for busy South Florida lifestyles.


What Is Better—Botox or Fillers?

The answer depends on your concerns:


- Choose neurotoxins if you notice wrinkles only when making expressions—these are “dynamic lines.”

- Opt for fillers if you want to restore volume, soften static lines (seen at rest), or achieve natural-looking enhancement in features like lips or cheeks.


For many clients, a strategic combination of both is the gold standard for full-face rejuvenation, especially around holidays and special occasions.


FAQs: Your Injectable Questions—Answered


At Elevate Med and Aesthetics, every consultation is comprehensive—we craft personalized plans for our Plantation-area clients, using the safest, most advanced techniques. Here’s what you should know:


How long do results last?


- Neurotoxins: Generally 3-4 months.

- Fillers: 6 months to 2 years, depending on the product and area.


Is there downtime?


- Most treatments are “lunchtime procedures.” You can return to normal activities, but avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours and follow aftercare tips for best results.


Are injectables safe?


- Our team uses clinically proven products in a medical-grade setting. While occasional side effects like mild swelling or bruising may occur, these are temporary and minimized by choosing an experienced provider.

- Age and Skin Type: Certain products may suit your needs better—our Plantation team will guide you.
