Do you know that Botox and dermal fillers are one of the common wrinkle treatment methods. Whether to use Botox or dermal fillers depends on the types of wrinkles. So, today we will try to discuss which procedure is effective and look at their differences. First of all, Botox injections are used to reduce the muscles by temporarily blocking the movement of the muscles. while fillers are designed to fill the area that lack volume. This is the main difference between Botox and dermal fillers.
If Botox and fillers are used in wrinkle treatment, which one to choose? This is a very good question and it is very important to know the exact answer for this question. So wrinkles that appear because of constant movement of muscles can be effectively treated by Botox injections. Examples include expression wrinkles or line at the corner of the eyes so called Crow's feet, wrinkles on the forehead as well as frown lines.
After the Botox procedure, you can feel that muscles in that area do not move and this will last for about 3 days. Within 1-2 weeks, the effect reaches its peak and after that it starts to decrease. On average effect of Botox injections lasts for 4-6 months.
Improving deep wrinkles both with Botox and dermal fillers. Deep wrinkles on the forehead, corners of the eyes, nasolabial fold, neck wrinkles are treated with dermal fillers by adding volume. If the wrinkles are visible even without making a facial expression, then it is better to do both fillers and Botox injections.
The effect of dermal fillers lasts for about 1 year 6 months , however, parts that move a lot can have a relatively shorter period of effectiveness.
