Botox & Fillers

‍

Botox and fillers are treatments used to reduce wrinkles, augment lips, and improve facial contours. They can be used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the forehead, between the brows, around the eyes and mouth, as well as help lift drooping eyebrows or create a more youthful-looking face. Fillers are also used to increase volume in areas like the cheeks and lips, as well as to create a more symmetrical face shape.

Botox is a neuromodulator that works by blocking signals from nerves to muscles, thereby temporarily paralyzing them and preventing wrinkles from forming or deepening. Botox can also be used to treat excessive sweating, migraine headaches, and muscular disorders. It typically takes around 4-7 days for the effects of Botox to become fully visible, and results usually last for 3-4 months.

Fillers are injectable substances that add volume and shape to facial features such as the lips and cheeks. They can also be used for reducing wrinkles or fine lines on the forehead, around the eyes, mouth, and neck. The most commonly used fillers are hyaluronic acid-based, but other products such as Calcium Hydroxylapatite, Poly-L-lactic acid, and polymethylmethacrylate microspheres are also available. Fillers generally last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years before they need to be re-injected.

In addition to their cosmetic benefits, Botox and fillers are also used for medical purposes. For example, both can be used to treat jaw tension in people with temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), as well as reduce wrinkles caused by sun damage or aging. Additionally, fillers can help reduce the appearance of scarring from surgery or trauma.

Ultimately, when it comes to deciding if Botox and fillers are right for you, it’s important to consult with a qualified physician first. They will be able to assess your needs and provide advice on which treatments are best suited to achieve the results you desire. With both Botox and fillers, the effects are temporary, so regular touch-ups may be required in order to maintain optimal results.
