Aging is natural and beautiful, but if wrinkles and fine lines are affecting your confidence Anders Dermatology in Toledo, OH, can help you achieve smoother skin for a youthful, rejuvenated look.
There are a few different options for tightening, plumping, or firming up your skin, with Botox and dermal fillers among the most popular due to their impressive results and the nearly painless injection process. Let us help you discover the differences between Botox and dermal fillers to find the best choice for you.
What is Botox?
Botox is a safe, purified toxin that relaxes the facial muscles. It is injected strategically to reduce the appearance of wrinkles in the forehead, at the corners of the mouth, and at the inner and outer corners of the eyes. Botox has minimal recovery time and only causes slight discomfort if any.
You can expect to see your fine lines and wrinkles lessened within a week, with results lasting up to six months. You will need to return to our Toledo, OH, office every three to six months for more injections to maintain your results.
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are generally composed of soft tissue fillers and are injected similarly to Botox, using small needles. Dermal fillers are used to plump the skin, often near the lips, under the nose, or on the cheeks, to restore volume to the face, smooth lines, or enhance the contours of your face, such as the cheekbones.
Fillers are more expensive than Botox but longer-lasting, with results maintained as long as 18 months to a year. As with Botox, recovery is quick but touch-ups will be needed every year or so to retain the appearance achieved by fillers.
