Botox relaxes lines caused by movement
Botox (anti-wrinkle injections) relaxes the small muscles that create expression lines: forehead lines, frown lines between the brows and crow’s feet around the eyes.
Results appear over a few days and usually last a few months.
Fillers restore volume and soften folds
Dermal fillers are a smooth gel placed under the skin to soften deeper folds, such as smile lines from the nose to the mouth, and to restore lost volume.
Results are visible straight away. How long they last depends on the area and product.
Which do you need?
Lines that appear when you frown, raise your brows or smile around the eyes: usually Botox.
Lines and hollows that are there even when your face is relaxed: usually fillers.
Many people benefit from a little of both. A doctor assesses your face and keeps the result natural, never frozen or overfilled.
