What is the difference between Botox and dermal fillers?

Botox and dermal fillers are cosmetic treatments given through injections, usually in a doctor’s office. They are minimally invasive, meaning they do not involve surgery. That is where their similarities end, however.

Botox and dermal filler treatments are popular, accounting for more than 9 million procedures in 2015, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).

Botox contains purified bacteria that freeze muscles. In doing so, Botox can help minimize the appearance of lines and wrinkles caused by facial expressions.

Dermal fillers contain ingredients that add fullness to areas that have thinned due to aging. This thinning is common in the cheeks, lips, and around the mouth.

The most popular category of dermal fillers is hyaluronic acid(HA), a temporary material that loses its effect after 6 to 12 months. 

However, not all HA fillers are the same. Each brand and product performs differently based on several scientific factors that allow us to customize your treatment:

  • Viscosity and Concentration: These determine how thick or thin the gel is, and how much HA the filler contains.
  • The Balance of HA: Depending on the desired result, we use different ratios of cross-linked (for structure and longevity) and non-cross-linked (for smooth flow and hydration) hyaluronic acid.
