What is botox?
Botox is a type of cosmetic and medical injectable that’s used to relax muscles across the body. When applied to facial muscles as a cosmetic treatment, botox injectables have the effect of loosening the lines on the patient’s face, creating a firmer, younger look.
Typically, botox procedures don’t last longer than twenty minutes, with minimal pain and side effects following botox treatments for most patients. In most cases, patients can expect some numbness and redness on the treated area post-application, as well as a little pain and possibly some eye drooping for facial botox applications. In the vast majority of cases, however, there are no serious, long-term effects from botox injectables if they’re administered safely and correctly. You can read more about the pain and other potential side effects you may experience following your botox application in our Botox Injectables FAQ.
The effects of botox last between three and six months, which makes botox injectables the perfect cosmetic treatment for any patients looking for a non-permanent procedure that still provides lasting results.
Botox vs. dermal fillers: what’s the right treatment for you?
There are some key differences that you need to keep in mind when determining whether botox injectables or dermal fillers are the right cosmetic treatment for your needs. For starters, botox cosmetic treatments are administered via an intramuscular injection, whilst dermal fillers are administered directly into the skin. This means that botox injectables are better for targeting dynamic wrinkles that are caused by muscle movements, whereas dermal fillers are better for correcting static wrinkles, which are natural lines or creases in the skin that are present while all facial muscles are relaxed.
Here are some other key differences between botox and dermal fillers:
Botox Injectables
- Uses botulinum neurotoxins to relax muscles
- Are administered via intramuscular injection
- Targets dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movements
Dermal Fillers
- Uses collagen and hyaluronic acid
- Are administered directly into the skin
- Targets static wrinkles that appear superficially and as a result of natural skin ageing
