What do Botox® and fillers treat?

Botox and fillers are injectables that treat issues that can arise as you start to age, including lines, wrinkles, and lack of facial volume. But, the two product types work in unique ways. 

Botox

Botox is the most widely-used and successful cosmetic injectable today. It causes temporary weakness in the muscles that cause wrinkles, which smooths them and prevents their return.

Botox treats areas including the “11” lines between the eyebrows, crow’s feet surrounding the eyes, and forehead wrinkles, and can also treat other areas where wrinkles occur due to muscle movement. 

Dermal fillers

Dermal fillers like JUVÉDERM® and Sculptra® correct volume loss. With age, the face starts losing its youthful shape, and sagging, hollowing, and facial folds can set in. Dermal fillers are a powerful nonsurgical way to improve volume and restore youthful facial contours using safe substances like hyaluronic acid and poly-L-lactic acid. 

In addition, dermal fillers can help you get the plump lips or high cheekbones you’ve always wished you were born with. The cheeks, lips, and nasolabial folds (smile lines) are popular areas for dermal filler treatment.

Botox and dermal fillers are safe and effective ways to achieve significant improvements quickly. The two product types work well together, too.

How long do Botox and fillers last?

Botox generally keeps the skin youthfully smooth for around three or four months. You can have follow-up treatments several times a year to keep wrinkles away. 

Dermal fillers last at least a year in most cases. One JUVÉDERM formula, Voluma, lasts up to two years in the midface. Sculptra can last two years or longer in the nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and chin wrinkles. 

The AK Beautiful You LLC team can recommend ways to maintain your injectable results as long as possible, for example, clinical skincare, good nutrition, and drinking plenty of water.

What happens in a Botox and fillers consultation?

During a Botox and fillers consultation, the team examines your unique facial structure, including your underlying muscles and bones. They discuss your desired results and then recommend the product and dosage that can provide the ideal outcome. 

During your consultation, you’ll also learn about potential side effects (very rare with Botox and fillers), and activity restrictions following the treatment session (usually very few).
