Wrinkles and fine lines can develop for a number of reasons, but these usually appear as part of the aging process. There are various cosmetic procedures that can correct these signs of aging, generally categorized as surgical and non-surgical. Botox injections and dermal fillers are two popular non-invasive cosmetic treatments chosen by individuals who are not too keen on surgical procedures.
Apart from their differences in approach, these two types of procedures also differ in the specific facial skin condition that they address. While it is true that both treatments can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, surgical facelifts generally focus solely on tightening sagging or loose skin. But as we age, we not only lose our skin’s elasticity, we also lose facial fat. When you combine Botox treatment with dermal fillers, you target both issues at the same time.
Botox can smooth out lines and wrinkles while fillers can plump-up the cheeks and nasolabial folds; giving you a natural-looking lift without surgery.
Note: Patients are advised to consult with a trained and highly skilled licensed doctor first before undergoing treatment. The doctor will need to examine your skin condition to determine how much of each medication you need, or if other non-invasive wrinkle reduction treatments are more suitable for you.
To ensure the success of your treatment and to eliminate health risks, it is also advised that you only receive treatment from a licensed cosmetic clinic. Also, make sure that the doctor has the experience and expertise in administering Botox injections and fillers. Always check for FDA-approval for the medications used in the procedures.
