Botox and dermal fillers are both popular cosmetic injectable treatments, but they work in completely different ways. Botox is a wrinkle-relaxing treatment that softens lines caused by repeated facial expressions. It works by calming the tiny muscles that create movement in areas such as the forehead, the brows, and the outer corners of the eyes.
Dermal fillers are used to restore volume, refine facial contours, and smooth lines that remain at rest. These products are often placed in areas such as the cheeks, lips, smile lines, and under the eyes to support a refreshed and balanced appearance.
Many patients benefit from using both. Botox addresses expression lines, while fillers restore volume and shape. When combined thoughtfully, they create a natural and well-rested result.
