How to Get Natural-Looking Results from your Botox and Filler Treatments

Published on May 8th, 2025 by Mitalee Christman, MD

Dr. Christman injecting a patient.When it comes to Botox and filler treatments, our dermatologists’ goal is to make you look like the best version of yourselves. Natural-looking results are all about enhancing your features subtly and artfully. Dr. Christman shares five smart tips to help you start your aesthetic journey with confidence and steer clear of disappointing results.

1- Choose the Right Injector

You only get one face—so trust it to the best hands possible. Look for a board-certified dermatologist, someone trained and qualified to prioritize both safety and artistry. If a practice’s website doesn’t explicitly say “board-certified dermatologist,” please ask questions. It’s worth investing a bit more upfront for peace of mind, better results, and fewer complications. If you’re reading this from afar and can’t make it to SkinCare Physicians in the Boston suburbs, find a dermatologist who listens to your goals, creates a tailored plan, and is comfortable saying no to ideas that might look unnatural.

2- Take It Slow and Steady

When it comes to cosmetic treatments, slow and steady truly wins. We’re all about subtle enhancements that keep you looking fresh over the long haul. Think of it as proactive maintenance (or prejuvenation) instead of waiting to make big changes. Generally, we ask to see you about three times a year to help maintain your best, most natural look.

3- Have Realistic Expectations

We aim for results that are subtle and authentically you—never overly “done.” Our goal is for you to look like the best version of yourself, where people might say you look refreshed, well-rested, or just… happy. Expect neuromodulators like Botox or Dysport to last about 3-4 months and fillers to last around 6-12 months, depending on the product used, the area treated and your metabolism.

4- Be Patient—It Pays Off

Small thoughtful improvements add up over time. Think of it as an ongoing investment in yourself, helping you maintain a youthful look and possibly avoid or delay the need for more drastic measures later on.

5- Stay Open-Minded

Sometimes we’ll suggest an approach you hadn’t considered, but it will always be customized for the results and goals you have in mind. Think of this as a long-term collaboration, one that evolves with you and always aims to highlight your natural beauty.

Thanks for reading. We can’t wait to see you in clinic.
