Most of us have heard of BOTOX® and JUVÉDERM® but, many of us are confused about exactly what these treatments do. They are both dermatological injectable treatments that smooth frown lines and wrinkles. Both treatments are non-surgical and have minimal to no downtime.
So, how does Botox differ from Juvéderm and which is best for you?
The simplest description is that BOTOX® slows down the muscle contractions that cause wrinkles while JUVÉDERM® is a cosmetic facial filler.
Facial fillers, or dermal fillers, add volume to sagging skin and hollows and are extremely effective in smoothing vertical lip lines and plumping cheeks thereby achieving a more youthful appearance. This service may be your perfect solution to rejuvenating multiple problem areas at the same time.
BOTOX® however is most effective in treating problem areas such as, crows feet and frown lines. BOTOX® can also be used to lift the outside edge of the brow area creating a more rested and wide awake look.
BOTOX® and JUVÉDERM® work differently but often work together to achieve beautiful, long-lasting results. It is not uncommon for a patient to begin with one service, adding the second later.
