Botox & Fillers
Did you know a younger and healthier looking face is said to increase the person’s confidence and productivity by 30-40%? Yes, its true, hence they say its important to age gracefully!
Are Botox and fillers the same? First of all, let’s get the confusion out of the way, we often hear these terms together and they both help the ageing skin look younger, but they work in different ways.
Botox is actually the brand name for the protein which is used to inject in the skin. Once injected it works on the facial muscles and prevents them from continuously moving and thus helps prevents fine lines and wrinkles or prevent the existing lines and wrinkles from getting deeper.
Fillers help to fill those lines and wrinkles that are caused as the elasticity and hydration of the skin decreases which makes the skin dry and saggy.
Botox are used to treat lines cause by facial expression and movement of facial muscles whereas fillers are used to treat lines that are unchanging like wrinkles on chin and cheek or laugh lines or for patients who want plumper cheeks or lips.
We will diagnose your skin and suggest if you need a Botox or Filler or a mix of both, keeping in mind the end goal of giving you a youthful yet natural appearance.
