Abstract
The field of minimally invasive soft-tissue augmentation has seen tremendous changes during the past few years. New agents are being introduced, and different techniques are being utilized. Both dermal fillers and injectable toxins have been at the forefront of change and the advancement of the field. Given their recent availability, knowledge of these materials and safe practice behaviors need to be exercised. Although able to be used alone, fillers and toxins may be combined together to achieve a much more appealing and longer-lasting cosmetic result.
