Answer: Botox and filler recap Botox is a neurotoxic that paralized the muscle when injected. It may take a week to see full results. Botox does a great job of smoothing out wrinkles in the forehead area and also around the eyes.Fillers like Juvederm and Restylane are hyaluronic acid, which your body produces naturally. there is also Radiesse which is nice to use to add volume in the cheeks. I personally like Restylane and Juvederm in the lips. You can also use fillers in the nasolabial folds to make them softer. Get an opinion from a dermatologist or plastic surgeon so they can give you a better idea on what would be best for you. Best of luck Dhaval M.

Answer: Botox vs. Fillers Thanks for your question! Botox and fillers are used differently, and have their own unique benefits. I would recommend that you consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon who can assess you and determine what products you are a good candidate for. Botox is used to relax overactive muscles which results in smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. Fillers help to replace volume loss and can be used to contour certain facial features. Smile lines often get exaggerated when the cheeks lose volume; I often use Voluma (a facial filler) to address these concerns. There are many different types of fillers which all have their own clinical indication. A consultation with a physician will allow you to ask questions and ensure that you get a treatment plan that is completely customized to your specific needs.
