About
Botox &
Dermal Fillers
Botox:
Botox is a popular cosmetic treatment that works by relaxing the muscles responsible for creating dynamic wrinkles, particularly in the upper face.
Common areas of concern include the forehead and around the eyes, where expression lines can become prominent over time.
On the other hand, dermal fillers utilize hyaluronic acid and similar compounds to restore volume and smoothness to areas that may have lost their youthful plumpness.
These fillers are effective for addressing wrinkles around the mouth, enhancing thin lips, and revitalizing cheeks that have lost fullness.
Additionally, dermal fillers can be applied to forehead wrinkles, scars, and other regions requiring extra volume for a more refined appearance.
Typically, Botox results last between three to four months, while the longevity of dermal fillers can vary based on the specific product used, generally lasting from six to eighteen months.
Importantly, Botox and dermal fillers serve distinct purposes and can often be used in conjunction to achieve optimal results.
For example, one might choose Botox to smooth out frown lines between the eyes while utilizing a filler to soften smile lines around the mouth.

More Information
Botox
Botox injections block certain chemical signals from nerves, mostly signals that cause muscles to contract. The most common use of these injections is to temporarily relax the facial muscles that cause wrinkles in the forehead and around the eyes. Botox injections are also used to treat conditions that affect how the body functions. Examples include:
- Cervical dystonia. In this painful condition, your neck muscles contract involuntarily causing your head to twist or turn into an uncomfortable position.
- Lazy eye. The most common cause of lazy eye is an imbalance in the muscles responsible for positioning the eye.
- Muscle contractures. Some neurological conditions, such as cerebral palsy, can cause your limbs to pull in toward your center. In some cases, these contracted muscles can be relaxed with Botox injections.
- Hyperhidrosis. In this condition, excessive sweating occurs even when the temperature isn’t hot and you’re not exerting yourself.
- Chronic migraine. If you experience migraines more than 15 days a month, Botox injections may help reduce headache frequency.
- Eye twitching. Botox injections may help relieve contracture or twitching of muscles around the eye.
