We offer two kinds of cosmetic injectables: Botox, which relaxes the muscles that cause expression lines, and Juvéderm fillers, which add volume where it’s been lost. Your treatment is done by Hannah Osborn, APRN, or Angela Barnett, MD, in our Leawood clinic. Anyone can book, and the consultation is free.
Botox or filler: which do you need?
They do different jobs, and many people use both.
| Botox | Juvéderm filler | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A prescription medicine that relaxes specific facial muscles | A hyaluronic acid gel placed under the skin |
| Best for | Lines that appear when you move: frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet | Lost volume and lines present at rest: lips, cheeks, smile lines |
| When you see it | Within a few days, full effect in about two weeks | Right away, settling over about two weeks |
| How long it lasts | About three to four months | About six months to two years, depending on product and area |
| Price | $15 per unit | $650 or $800 per syringe, depending on product |
If a line shows only when you frown or squint, Botox is usually the fit. If it’s there when your face is still, or an area looks hollow, filler usually is. At your consultation we’ll tell you which one, if either, makes sense for you.
Can you have Botox and filler at the same visit? Often, yes. Your injector will tell you whether to do them together or in stages.
What happens at your visit
- Consultation. We talk about what bothers you, look at how your face moves, review your health history and medicines, and give you a price before anything is done.
- Treatment. Botox takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Filler takes about 30 minutes, including numbing. We usually order filler for your treatment, so most people book it after the consultation. If you already know what you want, you can book the treatment directly.
- Follow-up. We check your result at about two weeks and adjust if needed.
Risks
Both treatments are generally well understood, but neither is risk-free. Bruising, swelling and tenderness where the needle went in are common and usually short-lived. Each treatment has its own rarer risks, which we cover on the Botox and Juvéderm pages and at your consultation. We won’t treat you if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, or if something in your health history makes it a poor idea.
