The choice between dermal fillers and botulinum toxin depends on your goal! For instance, if you are looking to improve skin texture and achieve an amazing lifting effect, your ideal procedure might be PDO threads.
Now, if you feel like your face has lost its volume, dermal fillers are your best choice. They can replace volume that has been lost over time.
Dermal fillers or botulinum toxin?
First things first: what are dermal fillers and what is Botox?
Dermal fillers are composed of Hyaluronic acid which is injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines, soften creases, or enhance facial contours. That is why we use them in procedures such as facial harmonization.
It is a minimally invasive procedure, that is minimally invasive and has no downtime.
But how about botulinum toxin?
Well, Botox is the commercial name for botulinum toxin, a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. In cosmetics procedures we apply the toxin in areas more likely to develop wrinkles and lines.
So, Botox works by blocking nerve signals in the muscles where we inject it. This prevents the muscles from contracting, which can temporarily soften (and prevent) wrinkles and other signs of aging.
Understanding facial harmonization: Techniques and benefits explained
When should you get botulinum toxin?
Most people can start at the age of 25, using Botox to prevent wrinkles and lines to start forming. But if you are already seeing the first signs in areas such as around your eyes, mouth or forehead, we can apply botulinum toxin in order to stop the development of wrinkles.
Also, applying Botox will smooth out wrinkles and give you a more sophisticated young look.
When should you get dermal fillers?
You can start getting facial fillers together with botox, around the same age. Regarding that, you can improve your natural features with facial harmonization.
You can also use facial fillers to restore volume to areas that have undergone resorption – a common occurrence between the ages of 35 and 45.
Which is the best for me?
I can tell you with absolute certainty that dermal fillers and Botox go hand in hand for achieving incredible results. And this applies both to those who are looking to prevent aging and to those who already want to treat its signs.
