Botox is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for causing dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines between the eyebrows. By relaxing these muscles, Botox smooths the skin and prevents the formation of new wrinkles, giving you a refreshed and youthful appearance.
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances, typically made of hyaluronic acid, that are injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Common treatment areas include the cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, and under-eye hollows. Dermal fillers can also be used for non-surgical facial contouring, such as adding definition to the jawline or chin.
Our skilled practitioners use fine needles to inject Botox into specific facial muscles. The number of injections and treatment areas will depend on your individual goals and the severity of your wrinkles. The procedure is virtually painless, with most patients experiencing only minor discomfort.
For dermal fillers, the targeted areas are carefully marked, and the filler is injected into the skin using fine needles or cannulas. The procedure is customized to address your unique concerns, whether you’re looking to add volume to your lips, smooth out deep wrinkles, or contour your face. Some fillers contain a local anesthetic, making the treatment more comfortable.
The effects of Botox typically begin to appear within 3-5 days, with full results visible in about two weeks. The results last for approximately 3-4 months, after which follow-up treatments can maintain your rejuvenated look.
Dermal fillers provide immediate results, with enhanced volume and smoother skin noticeable right after the treatment. Depending on the type of filler used, results can last from 6 months to 2 years.
