Botox and Dermal Filler

Botox & Dermal Fillers

Botox:

Cosmetic benefits:

1. Reduces Dynamic Wrinkles

Botox is most effective on dynamic wrinkles—those that appear when you’re moving your face (smiling, frowning, etc.). Common areas treated:

Forehead lines
Frown lines (between the eyebrows, also known as “11s”)
Crow’s feet (around the eyes)

2. Prevents New Wrinkles

By relaxing facial muscles, Botox can prevent deeper lines from forming over time, making it a popular preventive treatment in younger patients (20s–30s).

3. Subtle Facial Smoothing

When done well, Botox doesn’t freeze the face but softens expressions and gives the face a smoother, more refreshed appearance.

4. Non-Surgical & Quick

Minimally invasive (injections only)
Fast procedure – often under 15 minutes
No downtime – you can return to normal activities right after

5. Results Appear Quickly

Effects begin within 3–5 days
Full results usually appear by 1–2 weeks
Effects typically last 3–4 months

Cosmetic Benefits of Fillers

1. Restore Lost Volume

As we age, we lose fat and collagen in the face.
Fillers can restore volume to:
- Cheeks
- Temples
- Under-eyes (tear troughs)

2. Smooth Out Wrinkles and Lines

Fillers can soften:
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines (lines from mouth to chin)
- Perioral lines (around lips)

3. Enhance Facial Features

Lips – make them fuller or more defined
Jawline – create a sharper contour
Chin – add projection
Nose – non-surgical nose reshaping (“liquid rhinoplasty”)

4. Hydration

Hyaluronic acid fillers can improve skin hydration, giving a glowy, plump appearance.

5. Minimal Downtime

Quick, in-office procedure
Little to no recovery time
Temporary and reversible (especially HA fillers)
