Nowadays, the top beauty fixes are things that soften wrinkles and pump up lost volume. As you age, things like smiling and squinting can make lines appear, especially on your forehead and around your eyes.
Treatments like Botox work by relaxing the small muscles that cause those wrinkles. When those muscles chill out, your skin smooths out, making you look fresher. If it’s done well, you still look like you. It takes about a week to show, and it lasts a few months.
Then you have fillers, which bring back volume. A number of fillers now use hyaluronic acid (HA). It works well with your body, and you can reverse it if you need to. They have thin or thick kinds, depending on what you want. Light fillers are great for adding softness to the lips, while the thicker ones can help out areas like the cheeks or jawline. They can give your face a small lift, shape it a bit, and smooth lines that are there even when your face is still. If put in right by someone who knows what they’re doing, fillers help your natural look, making you look better. HA fillers typically last six months to about a year and a half.
Both of these fixes make lines look better, but in different ways. Botox is good for wrinkles that show when you move your face, and fillers are good for fixing sagging from getting older or losing weight. Many people get both—relaxing the muscles while adding volume where needed.
Experienced injectors also think about your skin, because thin skin will show changes more. The plan is to look like yourself. Safety is a big deal, and so is knowing what looks real. Start small for beauty fixes. You can always add more, but removing it is harder.
Choosing good products and getting a doctor who knows their stuff helps to lower the chance of bruising or other problems. After your treatment, relax for a day after Botox, skip makeup after fillers, and sleep propped up a bit. The best outcomes result from knowing your face shape, how your face moves, and how to keep it all tip-top.
