What’s the Difference between Dermal Fillers and Botox?
Dermal fillers
Dermal facial fillers are injected to add volume and firmness to the skin. They are injected into the facial skin to add volume, youthfulness, laxity and feathering out the wrinkles and folds. It is done on the facial wrinkles that start from the nose and go up to the corner of the mouth, sunken cheeks and chin area that are caused by the loss of the volume in the skin. Around the mouth region, too much Botox cannot be used or else excess usage can cause the loss of ability to eat, kiss, laugh or open mouth wide open, so usually dermal fillers are a favorable option here.
Dermal fillers also treat facial wrinkles. They are mainly used to treat smile lines, frown lines, though these fillers can also contribute to pump up the cheeks or lips. At times, they are also used to minimize the appearance of scars and for hand treatments. Dermal fillers though are not meant for plumping and firming other areas of the body, such as the breasts or thighs.
Dermal fillers come in different forms that include:-
- Hyaluronic acid (perlane, Restylane, Juvederm) , a temporary substance that loses its impact within 1-2 years, based on various factors.
- Calcium hydroxylapatite based (Radiesse dermal filler), a temporary gel solution that lasts for up to 1.5 years

Botox
Botox is an injectable topical medication that is used to relax muscles on the face. The wrinkles and creases on the face that are in between 2 eyebrows are developed by facial movements. As we do any facial activity, lines get formed and then get intense and deeper with passing time. Botox injections are infused into muscles that cause wrinkles. The Botox injection relieves the muscles that help in improving the appearance of face by reducing the wrinkles.
Botox is made from bacteria which functions as a muscle relaxer. It has been ongoing in the market for over past 20 years, and has also been implemented to treat neurological problems that cause muscle weakness. A kind of Botox is also used for treating migraines and some other medical ailments.
For wrinkle-reduction treatment, Botox is used to treat those wrinkles that mainly occur naturally around the mouth and eyes, or in between the eyebrows. Botox is neurotoxin which blocks the movement of nerves on the muscles become that more prominent with age. Botox is not used for fine lines triggered by collagen breakdown. The process of wrinkle reduction via Botox is such that the Botox injection relaxes the muscles surrounding these wrinkles, thus preventing the muscles to move, minimize the appearance of dynamic wrinkles.

Facial dermal fillers are perfect for static wrinkles, which are prominent even when your face is relaxed, not moving or making any expression. These parts are sunken and exhausted and will be advantageous from the volume that facial fillers provide them, recapturing and sustaining a youthful appearance.
