What Are Botox and Fillers?

Botox and Fillers

If you are tired of using creams and serums on your face to get rid of those skin imperfections, fine lines, and wrinkles without much to show for it, some treatments have proven to give long-lasting effects. Numerous cosmetic treatments are available to help you achieve your dream of looking more like your younger self again. 

Among the most popular treatments available today are Botox and fillers. Both help one achieve a more youthful look. 

What They Are 

The popularity of Botox fillers as the most non-invasive cosmetic treatment is phenomenal. They are materials also known as soft tissue fillers, dermal fillers, wrinkle fillers, anti-wrinkle injections, and injectable implants injected under the skin to:

  • Smoothen out facial wrinkles, skin folds, and small lines around the lips and mouth
  • Augmentation of the chin, lips, and cheeks
  • Filling tear troughs that have hallowed
  • Correction of contours such as those caused by acne scars

How They Work

Botox and fillers work in different ways. Botox, a purified form of the botulinum toxin, is injected in minute amounts to freeze or temporarily paralyse muscles in the face to allow them to relax, soften, and smooth out wrinkles and fine lines. 

Fillers like hyaluronic acid, a substance that is naturally found in the skin, help to hydrate, and add plumpness or volume to the skin. HA fillers normally come in a gel-like soft form and are injected under the skin to ‘fill’ an area and smoothen out wrinkles.

Local anaesthesia is normally given to those taking the treatment to make them feel more comfortable. The Botox fillers are dissolved by using a natural substance which then makes the skin revert to its original state after a short time. 

 

If you are interested in getting Botox and fillers, it would be best to consult with the nearest aesthetic treatment clinic near you and request more information. For best results, the treatment should be provided by the one prescribing the treatment or a medical practitioner being supervised by the prescriber.
