Understanding the Difference Between Botox & Dermal Fillers
Though often grouped together in aesthetic treatments, Botox and dermal fillers work in completely different ways.
Botox: For Dynamic Wrinkles
- Temporarily relaxes facial muscles
- Treats dynamic lines caused by movement (e.g. frown lines, crow’s feet)
- Results last 3–4 months
- Ideal for forehead, eyes, and expression lines
Fillers: For Volume & Structure
- Use hyaluronic acid or similar substances to add volume
- Smooth static lines and restore lost volume
- Commonly used in lips, cheeks, chin, and smile lines
- Results last 6–18 months, depending on product and area
Can You Combine Botox & Fillers?
Absolutely. Many patients benefit from using both in different areas for a balanced, youthful look. For example, Botox might soften forehead lines, while fillers restore volume to the cheeks.
Which Is Right for You?
It depends on your goals. If you want to reduce expression lines, Botox is likely the better option. If you want to plump or reshape, fillers are more effective. A consultation helps tailor the best plan for your face.
