The Power Duo: Fillers + Wrinkle Relaxing Injections for Natural Facial Rejuvenation

At One8Clinic, located in Melrose Arch, Sandton, this advanced approach is personalised for each client, ensuring subtle, refined, and natural-looking results.

What Are Dermal Fillers and Wrinkle Relaxing Injections?
Understanding Two of the Most Popular Non-Surgical Anti-Ageing Treatments
At One8Clinic, we use only SAHPRA-approved products to ensure clinical-grade safety and results.
Dermal fillers are hyaluronic acid-based injectables that restore lost volume, sculpt facial contours, and soften static lines. Common areas treated include the cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, and under-eyes.
Wrinkle-relaxing injections use botulinum toxin to gently relax the facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles—such as crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead creases.
Together, they offer a complementary approach to treating both the volume loss and expression lines that appear with age.
Why Combine Dermal Fillers with Wrinkle Injections?
The Science Behind Dual-Action Facial Rejuvenation
Used together, these treatments deliver comprehensive, balanced results:
Fillers restore volume and definition
Wrinkle relaxers reduce dynamic facial movement and soften expression lines
“The combined use of botulinum toxin and fillers can restore facial appearance by the dual mechanisms of reflation and relaxation.”
— Journal of Drugs in Dermatology
This approach treats the root causes of facial ageing while preserving your natural expressions.
Top Benefits of Combining Fillers and Wrinkle-Relaxing Injections
Comprehensive rejuvenation: Targets multiple ageing concerns in one tailored plan
Extended longevity: Reduced muscle movement slows filler breakdown
Natural-looking results: Balanced proportions and smoother skin without a “frozen” look
Minimally invasive: No downtime, no anaesthesia, no incisions
Highly customisable: Tailored to your unique facial structure and goals
“The combination of botulinum toxin and fillers is versatile and bespoke to every individual. Together, they are a powerhouse for facial rejuvenation.”
— Dr. Mauricio de Maio, International Aesthetic Expert
What Experts Say: Is This Combination Backed by Science?
Yes—numerous studies support the enhanced results achieved when these treatments are used together.
When wrinkle relaxing injections are used first, it reduces facial movement that could otherwise cause dermal filler to degrade faster, helping to prolong the effects.
A 2021 review in JDD found that patient satisfaction was highest in combination treatments versus fillers or toxins alone.
Clinics worldwide—like One8Clinic—favour this approach for its safety, versatility, and consistently high client satisfaction.
