Hey there! As we age, one of the most unwelcome sights is the appearance of wrinkles on our faces. Luckily, we live in a time when there are more remedies for facial lines and blemishes than ever before. If you’re in the market for wrinkle treatment, you might be wondering how dermal fillers and Botox stack up against each other.
Â
Neither dermal filler nor Botox is overall superior to the other. Botox treats the dynamic wrinkles in your upper face, while filler adds volume to your skin and helps smooth out blemishes and scars.
Â
If you’re considering wrinkle treatment, it’s important to know that you can use both dermal fillers and Botox together to achieve the best results. While they treat similar issues, they also have different purposes. That said, one might be better for you than the other depending on your situation.
Â
Botox is derived from the same bacteria that causes botulism. However, it is safe to use in the treatment of migraines and wrinkles. Botox works by essentially freezing the facial muscles so they can’t wrinkle your face.
Â
In contrast, dermal fillers add volume and plumpness to your skin, which makes them better for treating wrinkles in the soft part of the face near your mouth. Dermal fillers can also reduce scars and wrinkles on hands. There are different kinds of fillers for the various types and locations of skin issues, and they often last significantly longer than Botox depending on the kind you use.
