Botox

Botox and dermal fillers are cosmetic treatments that are administered via injections, typically at a doctor's office. They are minimally invasive, which means they do not require surgery. Their parallels, however, cease there. Botox and dermal fillers can both be used to treat facial wrinkles and minor facial aberrations. Each treatment is administered through small painless injections. Nonetheless, both choices have slightly different applications.

Botox Treatment

Botox is a type of botulinum toxin that is derived from microorganisms. Controlled amounts of Botox used to treat wrinkles has been used safely for decades. Botox is a bacterial-derived muscle relaxant. It has been on the market for more than two decades and is used to treat neurological illnesses that cause muscle weakness. It's also used to treat migraines and other medical problems. Cosmetically Botox is mainly used in upper part of face and around the eyes where the wrinkles are maximum and causing much distress.

Derma Fillers

Dermal fillers are used to alleviate facial burrows, scars and to hydrate the skin. They are most commonly used to address smile lines, under eye discolouration and shallowness, although they can also be used to pump up the lips or cheeks. They are sometimes used for hand treatments or to decrease the visibility of scars. Dermal fillers, on the other hand, are not permitted for plumping up other parts of the body, such as the breasts.

Both Dermal fillers and Botox have temporary effects and and completely reversible. Remember that Botox and dermal fillers treat slightly different disorders and are typically administered in distinct areas of the face. They can also be combined as complementary treatments to get the desired outcomes. Discuss all of your alternatives with your healthcare practitioner.
