Forehead wrinkles.
Jowls and sagging cheeks.
Small or deflated lips.
You know the aging concern, you just don’t know which product you need to resolve it.
First, your mind might jump to Botox® because it’s constantly being referenced in the media, or you may also remember hearing about something called Juvederm, or maybe Restylane…
How are these products different? Can they be used interchangeably? Do I need Botox, dermal fillers or both? Which one is right for me?
Both Botox and dermal fillers are wonderful products for refreshing your appearance and addressing a variety of facial aging woes, but they act in completely different ways within the skin.
Botox is a brand of wrinkle relaxer. You may hear it referred to as a neuromodulator and neurotoxin. Dysport® and Xeomin® are other brands of wrinkle relaxers.
Wrinkle relaxers are injected into the muscles just below the skin’s surface and act as a temporary (3-4 month) relaxant. This prevents the overlying skin from contracting, folding, and wrinkling- thus preventing fine lines and wrinkles from occurring.
Dermal fillers are comprised of hyaluronic acid and have a gel-like consistency. They are designed to physically fill areas of lost or little volume throughout the face. Their main job is to plump, hydrate and lift.
Dermal fillers can last anywhere from around six months to two years depending on the patient, product and area of injection.
Which product is right for you?: Dermal Filler, such as Juvederm Voluma®
Perfect for creating gorgeous high cheekbones, Juvederm Voluma in the cheeks can also subtly lift the lower face and jowl area. Voluma, aka the amazing multi-tasker!

Botox was administered to prevent this patient’s forehead from contracting and subsequently will provide a smooth appearance for around 3-4 months. A slight brow lift can also be seen in this example.

Which product is right for you?: Wrinkle Relaxer, such as Dysport®
When we furrow, some (or most) of us create two creases between our brows which are commonly referred to as the “elevens”. Wrinkle relaxers, such as Dysport, are a great solution for preventing deep-set wrinkles from forming in this area.

Which product is right for you?: Dermal Filler, such as Restylane Silk®
Sometimes called “smoker’s lines”, these lines above and around the lips can happen to anyone- not just smokers!
A dermal filler such as Restylane Silk subtly fills these lines and restores volume, creating a smoother look to the lips.
