Botoxยฎ vs. Dermal Fillers: What's the Difference? ๐ค
Itโs one of our most asked questions! While both are injectables that fight signs of aging, they work in completely different ways.
๐น BOTOXยฎ (and other neuromodulators like Dysportยฎ): Think of these as "relaxers." They work by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause dynamic wrinklesโthe lines that form when you make expressions.
Best for: Crow's feet, forehead lines, and frown lines ("11s").
Goal: To smooth wrinkles caused by movement.
๐น DERMAL FILLERS (like Juvรฉdermยฎ or Restylaneยฎ): Think of these as "restorers." They are typically made of hyaluronic acid, a substance your body naturally produces, to add back lost volume and structure.
Best for: Plumping lips, restoring cheek volume, and softening deep-set smile lines.
Goal: To fill in static wrinkles and restore facial contours.
The Takeaway: One relaxes, the other restores. Often, the best results come from using both!
