It’s a good question.
That needs to be addressed.
Why?
To help you make the best decision possible.
With so much hype surrounding the two cosmetic surgery procedures, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and frustrated. There’s so much information out there. You don’t know whether it’s true or not.
That’s why we’ve created this post. In it, you’ll find all the real information you need to know about Botox and fillers. You’ll also learn how to choose which is right for you.
Let’s get started:
Botox
Botox is a prescription medication that’s administered—via injection—to relax the overworked muscles of the face. By reducing or eliminating fine lines and wrinkles, it gives the face a youthful, more beautiful appearance. Results typically last around six months, and patient satisfaction rates are high.
Because Botox has been around for a very long time—it started being studied by physicians in the early 1800’s—it’s a trusted medication with a proven track record. Many surgeons believe that nothing seems to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles like Botox.
Fillers
Fillers and Botox achieve the similar results, but they are not the same thing.
Fillers are naturally derived or synthetic materials that are injected into the skin to enhance or “fill” wrinkles, fine lines, and depressions. This differs from Botox in that it plumps the skin rather than weakening the muscles underneath it. As a result, the appearance of the face is a bit different—usually in terms of fullness—then when Botox is used. Results can last anywhere between six months and two years.
How to Choose
The best way to choose between Botox and fillers is seek the advice of a board certified plastic surgeon. They have the education, skills, and training needed to evaluate your condition and come up with a treatment plan. They—more than anyone else—can provide you with the information you need to achieve the results you desire.
