While they’re both used as anti-aging and wrinkle-reducing treatments, facial fillers and botulinum toxin injections work in different ways. Facial fillers restore the lost facial volume, while Botox relaxes the overworked muscles underneath the area. Fillers are for static wrinkles and hollow areas, as Botox treatments are for dynamic wrinkles.
Soft tissue fillers are approved by the FDA as a safe treatment for fine lines and wrinkles around the face. These injectable fillers don’t cause serious complications, but clients may experience mild side effects like bruising, redness, pain, and swelling at the injection site. These symptoms usually go away after a few days, but make sure to contact a medical professional immediately if they worsen or persist.
Facial fillers come in different brands and types that target specific treatment areas. Aside from hyaluronic acid, some dermal fillers are also made from Calcium hydroxylapatite, poly-L-lactic acid, polymethylmethacrylate, and autologous fat. The two most popular brands of hyaluronic acid fillers are Juvederm injections and Restylane injections. Make sure to consult a cosmetic expert first to find out which kind of facial filler is the best for you.
As well as an effective wrinkle-reducing treatment, facial filler injections are used for a variety of cutting-edge procedures. These include liquid facelifts, chin augmentation and non-surgical neck rejuvenation.
