Power Pairings: The Benefits Of Combining Thermage & Botox

How These Two Aesthetic Treatments Work Better Together

At LaserAway, we’re all about helping you reach your SkinFitness™ goals through personalized, science-backed care. And sometimes, that means pairing the right treatments for results that truly go the distance.

Enter Thermage and Botox—a dynamic duo designed to smooth, lift, and tighten in perfect harmony. Each treatment shines on its own, but when combined, they can enhance each other’s benefits for a refreshed, rejuvenated, and natural-looking appearance.

Why Combination Treatments Matter

As aesthetic technology evolves, so does the way we approach anti-aging and skin rejuvenation. Rather than relying on one solution to do it all, today’s most effective strategies combine multiple modalities to target different layers of the skin—each addressing a unique concern.

Botox works on the surface level, relaxing muscles that cause expression lines. Thermage, on the other hand, works deep below the skin to tighten existing collagen and stimulate new collagen production over time.

Together, they deliver a smoother, firmer, and more youthful look—without surgery and with little to no downtime.

At LaserAway, our treatment specialists can create customized combination treatment plans that deliver maximum results with minimal recovery. Because your skin deserves a strategy as unique as you are.

Understanding Botox: Smoothing Expression Lines

Botox Cosmetic is one of the most popular—and scientifically proven—treatments in the world of medical aesthetics. It temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet.

“Botox is primarily used in three areas of the face: the glabella region (frown lines between the brow), the forehead region (horizontal lines across the forehead), and a muscle group called orbicularis oculi (around the eyes, which causes crow’s feet).”

— Dr. Will Kirby, Chief Medical Officer, LaserAway

By relaxing these overactive muscles, Botox helps soften existing lines and prevents new ones from forming. It’s one of the most effective ways to maintain smooth, youthful-looking skin—especially when started proactively.

“If you start early, you can put off the signs of these wrinkles, you can prevent them from forming, and it’s a whole lot easier to keep things from forming than to correct things after they’ve already been present for a while.”

— Dr. Will Kirby

Results timeline:

  • Onset: 2–3 days
  • Peak results: About 2 weeks
  • Duration: 2–4 months, depending on metabolism and dosage

At LaserAway, all Botox treatments are administered by highly trained clinicians who specialize in subtle, natural-looking outcomes—never frozen, always refreshed.

Understanding Thermage: Tightening & Lifting from Within

Thermage is a minimally-invasive radiofrequency (RF) skin-tightening treatment that firms and lifts the skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production. It uses controlled heat to remodel the collagen beneath the surface, improving tone, texture, and elasticity over time.

Common treatment areas include:

  • Face and jawline
  • Neck and décolleté
  • Eyes and eyelids
  • Abdomen and thighs

Unlike other treatments that target surface imperfections, Thermage works at a deeper level—tightening from within to deliver a naturally lifted, sculpted look.

You can expect to see results as early as one month after treatment, with continued improvement over the following months as new collagen forms.

“You can expect results from Thermage to show up in as early as one month, but optimal benefits manifest themselves at about the six-month mark.”

And whether your goal is to boost collagen production or maintain existing firmness, Thermage fits seamlessly into your long-term skincare plan.

“There are two major categories of people: the ‘gainers’ looking to increase their current level of collagen and the ‘maintainers’ who want to preserve their current skin fitness.”

— Dr. Will Kirby

Results timeline:

  • Onset: 1 month
  • Optimal results: Around 6 months
  • Duration: Up to 12 months or longer

Why Thermage and Botox Work So Well Together

Think of Thermage and Botox as two sides of the same aesthetic coin. While Botox smooths lines caused by muscle movement, Thermage tightens the skin and restores underlying structure.

Here’s why they’re such a powerful pairing:

  1. They Target Different Causes of Aging.
    Botox addresses dynamic wrinkles—those caused by facial movement—while Thermage treats static concerns like skin laxity and sagging. Together, they tackle both surface lines and deeper structural aging.
  2. They Enhance Each Other’s Results.
    When your skin is tighter from Thermage, Botox works even more effectively since it relaxes muscles beneath a firmer, more elastic surface. The result? A lifted, youthful look that lasts longer.
  3. They Offer Preventative & Corrective Benefits.
    Botox prevents fine lines from deepening, while Thermage helps preserve and rebuild collagen for long-term skin health. It’s a proactive approach to aging gracefully.
  4. They Deliver Natural-Looking Results.
    Our clinicians specialize in enhancing—not altering—your appearance. Combining these treatments leads to balanced, subtle rejuvenation that keeps you looking like you, just refreshed.
  5. They Fit Seamlessly Into Your Routine.
    Both treatments are minimally-invasive, require minimal downtime, and can be performed in under an hour. Most patients return to daily activities immediately after treatment.
