Botox paralyzes muscles whereas fillers add volume and shape to certain areas. Botox can remove crow's feet and frown lines, but dermal fillers can improve creases, folds, and wrinkles around the mouth. Consider your long-term goals before deciding on the best treatment for you.
Dermal fillers can add volume to facial areas
Dermal fillers can add volume to specific areas of the skin, but they don't work instantly. Each injection stimulates your natural collagen production and will require three treatments to see the full effects. You may have to return to your surgeon for touch ups. Dermal fillers are semipermanent. This can be avoided by using a temporary solution.
Botox temporarily paralyzes muscle
Botox is a prescription medication made from Clostridium botulinum bacteria that temporarily paralyzes muscles. Botox is used extensively for cosmetic purposes. Botox injections don't have side effects when used therapeutically. However, they can be extremely painful for anyone below the age of 18. The injections are typically done with a fine needle and placed in small areas of skin or muscle. It is recommended that the injections be administered by a doctor.
Dermal fillers last longer
Both Dermal Fillers and Botox are effective treatments for facial wrinkles. The main difference is the long-term results. Botox can cause temporary side effect, including bruising at the injection site. Dermal Fillers, on the other hand, trigger the body's own collagen and elastin production. Botox can also lead to facial stiffness or puffiness. Botox can also cause puffiness and stiffness in the face. This is where the secret lies: the skill of the practitioner and the body's response.
Botox works better around wrinkles
Botox is approved for use around the eyes, forehead and for treating migraines. Botox temporarily paralyzes muscles around the affected area, smoothing out skin and reducing wrinkles. The effects may last between four and six months, depending on how much you injected. How quickly the injection is metabolized will determine how long it takes. Talk to your cosmetic surgeon if you are concerned regarding the effects of Botox before you decide to proceed with the treatment.
Botox and dermal fillers require less surgery than dermal injections
Botox as well as dermal fillers work well to eliminate facial wrinkles. Both treatments produce similar results but dermal fillers last longer. Depending on the type of filler, some fillers will last for at least a year. Others may require maintenance to maintain their results. Although dermal fillers are less invasive than Botox, they do carry a few risks. Pre-existing medical conditions should be discussed with your physician. After weighing the pros and cons of the procedure, it is important to weigh the risks against the benefits. Both are effective but not for everyone.
