What’s the difference between Botox and Dermal Filler Injections?

Both can significantly reduce the signs of ageing, so what’s the difference between Botox and Dermal Filler injections?

Welcome to the 21st century – a time where you can eliminate all the wrinkles and lines from your face by using different cosmetic methods. Some of the most popular ones in this field include Botox and dermal filler injections (also known as fillers). In order to show you the difference and the pros/cons of each method, we are listing our full comparison below.

Botox: The Neurotoxin that Blocks Your Nerves’ Action

Botox is a brand name for Botulinum toxin, a neurotoxin that blocks the action of your nerves on muscles. As such, it is used to muscles that form wrinkles – to relax them while softening the wrinkle. A botox injection can last up to 6 months and is injected into the skin to directly soften it.

Botox is also referred to as a ‘muscle paralysis’ system – and is something that was officially approved for cosmetic uses in 2002, decreasing the facial motion and helping to eliminate the fine lines and wrinkles.

Lip Fillers Model

Dermal Facial Fillers

Just like Botox, dermal facial fillers can be used to prevent the signs of ageing, but they are also capable of providing a natural fuller appearance to areas of the face (e.g. lip fillers). However, the primary difference between the two is that the dermal fillers do not reduce the activity of muscles – but only fill the trouble areas with collagen.

This is what stimulates the collagen injected in the face to grow as well as plump and lift the skin to replace the collagen loss.

Choosing Between The Two

Both Botox and dermal facial fillers are great for people who want to reduce the signs of ageing. However, the vital thing to consider when deciding between the two is how you want to get rid of wrinkles – whether by paralysing your muscles (Botox) or by injecting a material that grows to fill your wrinkles (facial fillers).

Knowing the difference between Botox and Dermal Filler Injections and seeing actual results of both treatments is what you should definitely consider before choosing your treatment.
