Juvéderm and Botox: The Ultimate Treatment Duo
Thanks to the rising popularity of aesthetic treatments, dermal filler has become more accessible than ever before. If you’ve ever wanted snatched cheekbones like Bella Hadid, a perfect pout like Kylie Jenner, or a jawline as sharp as Henry Cavill, you can now reach your confidence goals with just one med spa appointment (and without breaking the bank)!
What are Botox and Juvéderm?
How are Botox and Juvéderm different?
Even if you’ve never considered getting filler or cosmetic work done, odds are you’ve heard of Botox and Juvéderm. Botox can be used for a variety of cosmetic and medical reasons, from improving the appearance of forehead wrinkles, to TMJ jaw pain relief, to reducing migraine pain. Botox’s main ingredient is botulinum toxin, which temporarily stops movement in the muscles it’s injected into. This releases tension and provides relief
Juvéderm fillers, on the other hand, contain Hyaluronic Acid as the main ingredient in their formula. Hyaluronic acid fillers provide immediately noticeable volume to treated areas. Juvéderm offers many varieties and formulas specifically designed for different areas of the face, including:
JUVÉDERM VOLUX: the first and only FDA-Approved filler specifically designed to add definition & volume to the jawline. Volux improves moderate to severe loss of jaw definition in adults over 21 years of age.
JUVÉDERM VOLLURE™ XC: designed to be injected into the areas of facial tissue where moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds occur, including the "parentheses lines" around the nose and mouth. This temporarily corrects facial wrinkles for a smoother appearance to the face for adults over the age of 21.
JUVÉDERM ULTRA/ULTRA PLUS: gives long lasting, natural looking fullness to lips that have thinned out due to aging
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC: adds volume beneath the skin's surface, which provides lift and contour to the cheek area.
Why Should I Use Botox and Juvéderm Together?
Botox and Juvéderm are both effective in reducing the appearance of wrinkles and providing a youthful appearance to treated areas. While they work in different ways, they can be complementary and used together!
Botox works by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles, while Juvéderm is a dermal filler that adds volume to the skin and fills in wrinkles and fine lines. Using these treatments together can provide a more complete and natural-looking result. For example, Botox can be used to smooth out wrinkles on the forehead and eliminate crow’s feet by the eyes, while Juvéderm Vollure XC can be used to fill in deep lines around the mouth or add volume to the cheeks. By combining these treatments, a health care provider can address multiple areas of concern and achieve a more comprehensive rejuvenation of the face in just one appointment!
Botox is designed to treat tougher and thicker areas of skin, like the forehead, while Juvéderm’s lighter formula is ideal for more delicate skin, such as the lips. By using both halves of the ultimate filler duo, you can bring total confidence to any insecurities you may have.

What Should I Know Before My Botox & Filler Appointment?
Finding a Certified Provider: The most important step in your filler/Botox journey is finding the right, certified provider to fulfill your confidence goals. At Urban You, we have an expert staff with over 40 years of combined experience who would love to help you get started on your wellness journey! We want nothing more than to help our guests feel comfortable and confident. To ensure that you’re on the same page as your provider, you’ll attend a free wellness consultation before treatment. Here you’ll ask questions, map out the filler you’d like and treatment areas, discuss payment, and talk about your recovery.
Be prepared to wait for Botox results: The added volume from Juvéderm hyaluronic acid fillers is noticeable immediately as it doesn’t rely on action from any muscles to activate, unlike Botox. Because Botox works by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles and fine lines, it typically takes multiple weeks to see results.
Side effects: Both Botox and Juvéderm are noninvasive lunchtime procedures, meaning they don’t involve anesthetic or any intense recovery. Most people are good candidates for these treatments and can resume daily activities right after their appointment! Common side effects from Botox and Juvéderm fillers typically last 24-48 hours and include: tenderness, bruising, and swelling.
