At Omniya Clinic we believe in a holistic approach to facial rejuvenation. Botox is a great standalone treatment but combining it with other aesthetic treatments can often give better results. This guide will explain the benefits of combination treatments and how they can be tailored to you.
Introduction: Combination Treatments
Facial ageing is a multi-faceted process involving muscle movement, volume loss, and changes in skin quality. At Omniya Clinic, we believe that the most effective results often come from combining treatments that target each of these areas. While Botox is excellent at softening lines caused by muscle movement, it’s even more powerful when paired with other aesthetic solutions that address skin quality and volume loss.
This guide explores how combination treatments - from fillers to skin boosters - can be tailored to help you achieve a smoother, fresher, and more rejuvenated appearance.
Treatment Synergies
Our approach is to treat the face as a whole. Different treatments do different jobs - some relax muscles, some replace volume, while others improve skin tone, texture or hydration. When strategically combined, they work together to create results that look natural, balanced, and longer-lasting.
Different aesthetic treatments target different aspects of facial ageing:
Examples of What Each Treatment Targets:
Botox: Relaxes facial muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles (e.g., frown lines, crow’s feet). Botox gently relaxes targeted muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles like crow’s feet and frown lines, leaving your skin looking refreshed and rejuvenated.
Dermal Fillers: Restore lost volume and soften static lines. Dermal fillers restore lost volume and smooth out static wrinkles, enhancing contours and bringing a youthful plumpness to your features.
Chemical Peels: Resurface the skin and improve tone and texture. Chemical peels resurface the skin to improve texture, tone, and clarity, revealing a smoother, brighter complexion underneath.
Laser Treatments: Target pigmentation and stimulate collagen. Laser treatments zero in on pigmentation, reducing dark spots and boosting collagen production for firmer, more even-toned skin.
Microneedling: Improves skin texture and boosts collagen. Microneedling uses tiny needles to stimulate collagen, refining skin texture and reducing fine lines for a fresh, radiant glow.
Skin Boosters (e.g., Profhilo, Polynucleotides): Hydrate and strengthen skin quality from within.
By combining these treatments we can get a synergistic effect overall.
Botox and Dermal Fillers
The most popular and effective combination is Botox with dermal fillers.
Botox is ideal for expression lines caused by repetitive movements, while fillers work to restore youthful volume, making this combination especially effective for a harmonious, natural look. For patients who want subtle rejuvenation, combining these treatments can enhance contours and soften lines without overdoing it.
Benefits:
- Botox relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles
- Fillers restore lost volume and smooth static lines
- Together they give a more youthful look
Common areas to combine:
- Forehead: Botox for lines, fillers for volume
- Around the eyes: Botox for crow’s feet, fillers for tear troughs
- Mouth area: Botox for downturned corners, fillers for lip enhancement
Botox with Skin Boosters
Botox is ideal for dynamic wrinkles, but some lines persist even after muscle relaxation - especially in delicate areas like the eyes. In these cases, improving the skin quality itself can make all the difference.
Take the periocular area (around the eyes), for instance. Some clients have deep crow’s feet that don't fully resolve with Botox alone. This is where skin boosters such as Profhilo (a hyaluronic acid-based injectable) or Polynucleotides come in. They work by deeply hydrating and stimulating the skin’s natural repair processes, helping it look stronger, smoother, and more resilient over time.
Dr Thu Linh's expert comments:
"Botox soften lines caused by facial expressions. For a more holistic approach, you may want to also consider improving the skin quality itself to address the gradual loss of collagen and elastin. A good example is the peri ocular area (around the eyes). Some people have deep crows feet lines and find that even with a stronger dose of botox, there is no further improvement. Skinboosters with hyaluronic acid (like Profhilo) and Polynucleotides can help strengthen the skin from within so the lines will appear less pronounced. A combination of approaches is often beneficial because each treatment will target the issue in a different way."
Benefits of Combining Botox and Skin Boosters:
Addresses both muscle movement and poor skin quality
Improves collagen and elastin production
Enhances results in areas where Botox alone may not be enough
Gives skin a dewy, refreshed glow
Treatment Protocol:
- Botox is usually administered first.
- Skin boosters are typically done two weeks later once Botox has taken effect.
Botox with Chemical Peels
Chemical peels can enhance Botox results by improving overall skin.
While Botox works beneath the skin to soften wrinkles, chemical peels improve the surface by removing dead cells, promoting collagen, and evening skin tone. Together, they can refresh your skin’s texture and radiance, giving you a smoother, glowing appearance.
Benefits:
- Botox smooths dynamic wrinkles
- Chemical peels improve skin texture, tone and fine lines
- Results in smoother, brighter skin overall
Treatment protocol:
- Botox is typically done first
- Chemical peel is done 2 weeks later once Botox has fully taken effect
Botox with Laser Treatments
Laser treatments can target skin concerns that Botox can’t so it’s a great combination.
Laser treatments can reduce pigmentation, fine lines, and improve skin tone. Combining laser with Botox provides a comprehensive approach to rejuvenation, where Botox reduces dynamic wrinkles while lasers boost skin health and elasticity.
Benefits:
- Botox tackles muscle related wrinkles
- Lasers can target pigmentation, skin texture and stimulate collagen production
- Results in overall skin rejuvenation
Popular lasers to combine with Botox:
- Fractional laser for skin resurfacing
- IPL for pigmentation issues
- Nd:YAG for skin tightening
Botox with Microneedling
Microneedling can enhance Botox results by improving overall skin.
Benefits:
- Botox relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles
- Microneedling stimulates collagen production, improves skin texture and firmness
- Can extend Botox results
Treatment protocol:
- Botox is administered first
- Microneedling is done 2 weeks later
Customised Treatment Plan
We understand that each face is unique. During your consultation, we take time to understand your goals, lifestyle, and any specific areas of concern to create a treatment plan that aligns with your desired outcome.
Each patient is treated as an individual. When we create a combination treatment plan we consider:
- Your concerns and goals
- Your age and skin type
- Your budget and time constraints
- Any previous treatments you’ve had
- During your consultation we’ll go through all options and create a bespoke plan for you.
Timing and Sequencing of Combined Treatments
The timing and order of combined treatments is key to optimal results and safety.
Spacing treatments correctly ensures each has time to work effectively and limits irritation. Our team will carefully sequence each treatment so your skin has ample time to respond and heal, maximizing results with minimal downtime.
Generally:
- Botox is done first
- Other treatments are done after Botox has fully taken effect (usually 2 weeks)
- Treatments are spaced out to allow for healing and to assess results
Our experienced practitioners will create a treatment plan that gives you the best results while keeping you safe and comfortable.
Expected Results and Duration
Combining treatments can amplify both immediate and long-term improvements. Many patients notice that their skin looks brighter and smoother, while deeper lines and wrinkles are visibly softened.
Combination treatments can give better results than single treatments:
- More overall rejuvenation
- Longer lasting results
- Natural looking results
While individual results may vary, many clients see:
- Smoother, more even skin texture
- Reduced dynamic and static wrinkles
- Improved skin tone and radiance
- Restored facial volume and shape
Maintenance and Follow up
Routine follow-up treatments help maintain the longevity of your results. We recommend revisiting every few months to assess your progress and update your plan based on your evolving skin needs.
To maintain your results:
- Follow all aftercare instructions
- Continue your skincare routine
- Protect your skin from the sun
- Book in for follow up treatments as recommended
We’ll work with you to create a long term maintenance plan that suits your lifestyle and goals.
