Botox is a popular cosmetic treatment that involves injecting a diluted form of botulinum toxin into muscles to temporarily paralyze or weaken them. It is commonly used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and creases on the face, particularly in areas like the forehead, around the eyes (crow’s feet), and between the eyebrows. Botox works by blocking nerve signals in the muscles, which helps smooth out the skin and give a more youthful appearance.
Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to add volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They are typically made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps maintain hydration and volume. Dermal fillers can be used to plump up lips, soften facial creases and wrinkles, improve the appearance of scars, and restore volume to areas that have lost fullness due to aging. The results from dermal fillers are immediate and can last anywhere from several months to a year, depending on the type of filler used.
