They are like apples and oranges. One treats deep facial lines, the other paralyzes muscles of animation. Restylane is usually less expensive than Botox, it is all a personal choice.

A: Filler versus Botox Confusion
1 month ago
This seems to be a point of confusion in a lot of my patients. Facial fillers and Botox/Dysport are for different things.
General rule of thumb is that Botox/Dysport is for lines in the upper half of the face and that Fillers are for folds on the lower half of the face.
Fillers add volume to smooth out areas of volume loss.
Botox decreases muscle activity that causes fine wrinkles.
You should have a formal consultation with a cosmetic physician. This will help you decide what is best for you.
