What is the difference between Botox and Filler?

What it does:
Relaxes muscles that cause wrinkles.

How it works:
Botox temporarily blocks nerve signals to specific facial muscles, preventing them from contracting. When the muscle relaxes, the overlying skin smooths out.

Best for:

• Forehead lines
• Frown lines (11s between brows)
• Crow’s feet
• Preventing deeper wrinkles from forming

Results:

• Start in 3–7 days
• Last about 3–4 months

Think of it as: Stopping wrinkles caused by movement.

What they do:
Add volume, fullness, or structure.

How they work:
Most fillers use hyaluronic acid (a substance naturally found in your body) to “fill in” areas that have lost volume.

Best for:

• Lip enhancement
• Cheek volume
• Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
• Jawline contour
• Under-eye hollows

Results:

• Immediate
• Last 6–18 months, depending on area and product

Think of it as: Filling or lifting areas that look sunken or sagging.
