Botox vs Fillers: Which Treatment is Right for You?

Understanding Botox

Botox is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes facial muscles, reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles like crow's feet, forehead lines, and frown lines. Results typically last 3-4 months.

Understanding Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. They're ideal for treating static wrinkles and adding volume to lips, cheeks, and under-eye areas.

Key Differences

• Botox relaxes muscles; fillers add volume
• Botox treats dynamic wrinkles; fillers treat static wrinkles
• Botox results appear in 3-7 days; fillers show immediate results
• Different longevity: Botox 3-4 months, fillers 6-18 months
• Different treatment areas and purposes
