Botox vs. Fillers: What’s the Difference?
Botox (and similar neuromodulators) relaxes specific facial muscles to soften dynamic lines caused by expression—think frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead creases. Results typically appear within 3–7 days and last about 3–4 months.
Fillers Edmonton, by contrast, add or restore volume to treat static lines present at rest and to contour features such as the cheeks, lips, and jawline; results are immediate and can last 6–18 months (sometimes longer, depending on the product and the area).
In short: Botox reduces muscle movement; fillers reshape and replenish volume—and many patients benefit from a customized combination of both for balanced, natural-looking results.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Botox, and how does it work?
Botox® (onabotulinumtoxinA) is a purified neuromodulator used to soften dynamic facial lines caused by repeated muscle movement. It works by temporarily blocking the release of acetylcholine—the signal that tells a muscle to contract—at the neuromuscular junction. When the targeted muscles relax, expression lines such as frown lines (glabella), forehead lines, and crow’s feet become noticeably smoother without adding volume or changing your natural features.
- Onset: Initial smoothing in 3–5 days; full effect around 10–14 days.
- Duration: Typically lasts about 3–4 months, varying by dose, area, and metabolism.
- Targeted action: Precisely placed micro-injections affect only the intended muscles, preserving natural expression when dosed appropriately.
Botox vs. Other Neurotoxin Brands — what’s the difference?
Four options of Health Canada–approved type A neuromodulators are available
- Botox®: The first cosmetic neuromodulator (2002) with the most clinical history; prized for precision and predictability.
- Dysport®: Also a type A neuromodulator; may have a slightly faster onset and broader diffusion—useful for larger areas like the forehead.
- Xeomin®: A highly purified “naked” toxin without accessory proteins; chosen when minimizing additives is preferred.
- Nuceiva®: A newer option with Botox-like dosing and duration; smooths lines with comparable outcomes.
How should I prepare for my Botox appointment?
- Medications & supplements (3–7 days): If your prescriber approves, avoid non-essential blood thinners that increase bruising—aspirin, ibuprofen/naproxen, fish oil/omega-3, vitamin E, St. John’s wort. Never stop prescribed anticoagulants without medical advice.
- Alcohol (24 hours): Skip alcohol the day before; it increases bruising.
- Skin prep (24–48 hours): Avoid topicals—strong retinoids, AHA/BHA peels, benzoyl peroxide. Arrive clean, makeup-free, and no self-tanner.
- Recent treatments: Avoid waxing, threading, facials, microneedling, or laser there for 24–48 hours pre-visit.
- Health check: Disclose pregnancy/breastfeeding, neuromuscular disease, infection, rash, cold, or antibiotics/illness; reschedule if advised.
- Fuel & comfort: Eat a light snack, hydrate, request topical numbing or ice if desired.
What can I expect during the Botox procedure?
- After assessing your facial muscles and movement, your injector will mark the areas to be treated.
- A topical numbing cream or ice may be applied to minimize discomfort.
- Fine needles will then be used to inject Botox into the targeted muscles during a session that typically lasts 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated.
- The discomfort is minimal and is usually described as a quick pinch.
- For additional comfort, options such as cold air cream or ice are available.
- Overall, the procedure is brief and well-tolerated by most clients.
What are the aftercare tips after Botox?
- For the first 4 hours, stay upright and avoid touching, massaging, or compressing treated areas.
- Optionally, move treated muscles—don’t rub. For 24 hours, avoid strenuous exercise, heat, and alcohol.
- To reduce bruising, skip non-essential blood thinners (never stop prescribed meds).
- You may cleanse gently today; avoid scrubs, retinoids, acids, and devices for 24–48 hours.
- Makeup is fine after an hour if there’s no pinpoint bleeding. Avoid facial massage, microneedling, laser, or waxing for 24–48 hours.
- Use wrapped cold packs as needed; use acetaminophen for discomfort. Expect results in 3–5 days, with full effect occurring 10–14 days later.
