Fillers and Botox can enhance the effect of the other, but they do not offer the same results.

If you have lines that do not go away when your facial muscles are relaxed, such as lines between the nose and lips (nasolabial fold), or you wish to add fullness, such as in the lips, cheeks, or under the eyes, then you will need a filler.

If you want to prevent muscles from contracting, which causes lines or wrinkles to become etched into this skin, then Botox is your best friend. Perfect examples of this are between the eyes and the "crow's feet" around the eyes.
