What are Botox and Fillers?
Botox
Botox (botulinum toxin) is a naturally occurring protein which is used to treat wrinkles and lines on the skin. It is injected directly into specific muscles in the face and this blocks signals between the nerve and the muscle. This minimises the wrinkling of the skin as the face moves naturally.
Botox is commonly used in the upper third of the face to help remove wrinkles around the eyes, between the brows and on the forehead. It lasts around 3-4 months so is a procedure most people have regularly.
There are certain situations when you cannot have Botox such as illness, skin infections, breastfeeding or on certain medications. You should make your surgeon aware if any of these apply before undertaking any procedures.
Fillers
Dermal or wrinkle fillers do exactly what their name suggests. They are injected just under the skin to help remove and smooth out any lines or wrinkles. Fillers can also restore lost volume in the skin and face so help to rejuvenate your whole appearance.
Fillers help to restore a more youthful connection. They can be used to enhance the lips, shape and add volume to the cheek and fill out lines and wrinkles all over the face.
As they are eventually absorbed into the body, they are again, temporary, so further appointments will be required.
