The main difference between botox and fillers is that botox paralyzes muscles while fillers add volume to specific areas of the face. Botox can be used to remove frown lines and crow's feet, while dermal fillers can enhance wrinkles, folds and creases around the mouth. Before deciding which treatment is best for your needs, consider your long-term goals.
Dermal fillers give volume to the areas of the skin around the eyes.
Dermal fillers may add volume to some areas of the face but not all at once. Each injection stimulates your natural collagen production and will require three treatments to see the full effects. Semi-permanent dermal fillers may require you to see your cosmetic surgeon again for touch-ups. A temporary solution is a good option to avoid these problems.
Botox temporarily paralyzes muscles
Botox, a prescription medicine made by Clostridium botulinum bacteria temporarily paralyzes the muscle activity. It is often used cosmetically. Botox injections do not have any side effects when they are used therapeutically. However it is extremely painful for anyone younger than 18. Botox injections are administered using a fine needle. The drug is typically injected into small areas or muscles. It is recommended that injections are administered by a physician.
Dermal fillers last longer
Botox and Dermal Fillers are both effective treatments for facial lines. The main difference is the long-term results. Botox can cause temporary side effect, including bruising at the injection site. Dermal fillers, on other hand, activate the body's collagen and elasticin production. Botox can also lead to facial stiffness or puffiness. Botox is a skillful procedure that can produce natural-looking results. The body reacts to it.
Botox is more effective for wrinkles around the eyes
Often used for migraines and excessive sweating, Botox is approved by the FDA for use around the eyes and forehead. Botox temporarily paralyzes muscles around the affected area, smoothing out skin and reducing wrinkles. The results may last from four to six month depending on how many were injected. It all depends on how fast your body processes the injection. You should consult your cosmetic doctor if you are concerned about Botox's effects.
Botox is more invasive than dermal fillers.
Botox and dermal fillers are both effective in erasing wrinkles. The results of both treatments can be similar but dermal Fillers tend to last longer. Depending upon the type of filler used, some may last upto a year. Other fillers may require maintenance treatments to preserve their results. Botox is less painful than dermal fillers, but they come with a few potential risks. These risks should be discussed with your doctor if you have any pre-existing medical conditions. You should also weigh the risks and benefits of dermal fillers. While both are effective, they are not suitable for everyone, and may not be the right choice for you.
