How do Botox injections correct wrinkles?

Botox (blocks signals from your nerves to your muscles. It stops the injected muscles from contracting. This, in turn, causes wrinkled areas to soften. Most times, it's often used on crow's feet, forehead lines and frown lines. Remember, Botox will not soften any wrinkles caused by sun damage.

What are the differences between Filler and Botox?

In summary, Botox freezes muscles to soften wrinkles caused by facial while fillers use hyaluronic acid and other substances to plump areas with lost volume. If you still don't understand, here is a detailed explanation.

Botox

If you raise your eyebrow, it causes horizontal lines. Also, if you frown, it causes vertical lines. Over time, these lines will become more visible, making you look sad or unhappy. These muscles do nothing else, and you may not need them. So Botox can help weaken them and stops them from forming deep lines and wrinkles. Usually, It about takes three days to start seeing results and two weeks for maximum effect.

Fillers

As stated earlier, Botox treats deep wrinkles caused by the muscles we don't need. But fillers target lines caused by the muscles we need. So, we can’t weaken certain muscles.

For instance, you can't weaken the muscles that control smiling. Everyone needs to smile right? Further, some wrinkles have different thicknesses. In essence, thin fillers like HA treats fine lines while thicker fillers like Volift and Voluma targets thicker lines. With fillers, expect visible results immediately, particularly under the eyes.

Can I combine it with Juvederm?

Yes, we combine it with Dermal Fillers on the same appointment, especially if the wrinkles are deep. In actuality, some deep wrinkles occur if you don't treat the frown lines on time. As a result, they become pronounced and deep. So you may need both Botox and fillers to correct them. Dr. Alhallak combines Fillers and Botox during skin tightening and wrinkles removal treatments.
