The Difference between Botox and Fillers

What is the difference between Botox® and Fillers?

Botox® is a muscle relaxer. Botox® is used to reduce frown lines between the eyebrows and forehead by weakening the muscles. Botox® is injected underneath skin in order to minimize or smooth out lines and wrinkles on the face. Botox® paralyzes or relaxes facial muscles resulting in a smooth facial appearance.

Fillers
Fillers are products like JUVÉDERM® and Restylane. Derma Fillers work under the skin to replace elasticity and plump up sagging skin.

JUVÉDERM®
JUVÉDERM® is the smooth gel filler that your doctor uses to instantly smooth away wrinkles around your mouth and nose. JUVÉDERM® compensates for the loss of collagen and skin elasticity. JUVÉDERM® is a filler that is injected just beneath the skin to fill out and reduce small to medium lines and wrinkles. JUVÉDERM® both fills out the volume of the face.

Restylane®
Restylane® is a fillers injected just beneath the skin to fill out and reduce small to medium lines and wrinkles. Restylane® both fills out the volume of the face and attracts additional water to the area, maintaining a smoother, younger look.
