Fillers & Neurotoxins

---

The duration of fillers and Botox varies depending on the type and area treated. Botox typically lasts between 3 to 4 months, as it temporarily relaxes muscles to reduce wrinkles. On the other hand, dermal fillers, such as hyaluronic acid fillers like RHA or Restylane, can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months, depending on lifestyle habits, an individuals metabolism, and the treatment area. 

Botox and fillers serve different purposes in aesthetic treatments. Botox is a neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes muscles, reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines. Fillers, on the other hand, add volume to the face, smoothing out static wrinkles, enhancing lips, and contouring areas like the cheeks or jawline. 

Both Botox and dermal fillers are FDA-approved and considered safe when administered by a qualified and experienced provider. Botox has been safely used for both cosmetic and medical treatments for decades. Similarly, most dermal fillers use substances like hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in the body. However, like any cosmetic procedure, there can be risks such as bruising, swelling, or allergic reactions, so it’s essential to have a consultation with a licensed professional to ensure the safest and most effective results.
