The main difference between botox and fillers is that botox paralyzes muscles while fillers add volume to specific areas of the face. Botox is able to reduce frown lines and crow’s feet. Dermal fillers, however, can improve wrinkles around your mouth, creases, folds, or creases. Be sure to consider your long-term goals before you decide which treatment is right for you.
Dermal fillers add volume to areas of the face
Dermal fillers can add volume to specific areas of the skin, but they don't work instantly. Each dermal filler stimulates your body's natural production of collagen. To get the full effect, it will take three treatments spread over four to six weeks. Dermal fillers can be semi-permanent but you might need to visit your cosmetic surgeon to have any touch-ups. Temporary solutions for blemishes can be a better option.
Botox temporarily paralyzes muscle

Dermal fillers last longer

Botox is better than Botox for wrinkles around your eyes
Often used for migraines and excessive sweating, Botox is approved by the FDA for use around the eyes and forehead. The temporary paralysis in the affected areas of muscles results in skin smoothening and wrinkle reduction. The results can last up to six months depending on how much was injected. How quickly the injection is metabolized will determine how long it takes. Your cosmetic physician should be consulted if you are worried about Botox's side effects.
Botox can be more painful than dermal fillers.
Botox as well as dermal fillers work well to eliminate facial wrinkles. Although the results are identical, dermal injections tend to last for longer. Depending on the type of filler, some fillers will last for at least a year. Others may require maintenance to maintain their results. Botox is more effective than dermal fillers. However, there are some risks. Pre-existing medical conditions should be discussed with your physician. After weighing the pros and cons of the procedure, it is important to weigh the risks against the benefits. While both are effective, they are not suitable for everyone, and may not be the right choice for you.
