So, you’re thinking about Botox or fillers at a medspa? Lots of folks at GC Skin Medspa in Sherman Oaks are curious about which one is best to get smoother, younger-looking skin. Let’s break it down.
Â
What’s Botox?
Â
Botox chills out the muscles that cause lines and wrinkles. It stops nerve signals for a bit, which smooths out wrinkles you get from making faces – like frowning or raising your eyebrows.
Where people usually get Botox:
- Forehead lines
- Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
- Frown lines (between your eyebrows)
- Bunny lines (on the nose)
Good stuff about Botox:
- It’s quick and no surgery needed
- Hardly any downtime
- Lasts 3–4 months
- Stops wrinkles from getting worse
What’s Dermal Filler?
Â
Dermal fillers are like injectable gels made of stuff like hyaluronic acid (HA). They bring back volume, make your face look better, and smooth out wrinkles you get from just aging. Unlike Botox, fillers add volume where you’ve lost it.
Where people usually get fillers:
- Cheeks (to make them full again)
- Lips (to plump them up)
- Smile lines
- Jawline and chin (to shape them)
- Under-eye hollows
Good stuff about fillers:
- You see results right away
- Can last 6–18 months, depends on what kind you get
- Looks natural
- You can get a little or a lot
Botox vs. Fillers: What’s the Difference?
Which One Should You Get?
Â
Get Botox if you’re worried about wrinkles from making faces.
Go for fillers if you want to add volume, define your face, or smooth out deep lines.
A lot of folks get both Botox and fillers to look totally young.
