Botox is a neurotoxin derived from clostridium botulinum.It is widely used in aesthetic dermatology to address fine lines and wrinkles.
Botox works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals in the muscles when injected .
The relaxation of the muscles reduces the appearance of the wrinkles giving a smooth younger looking skin. It is a simple day care procedure done under topical anaesthesia.
Common treatment areas include wrinkles and lines in areas such as forehead , between the eyebrows and around the eyes.
The results are noticed within a few days with optimal results appearing within 2 weeks .
Dermal fillers are gel like substances that are injected beneath the skin to restore the lost volume , soften creases and smoothen the lines or enhance the facial contours.
The main type of fillers that are used are the hyaluronic acid fillers.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and retains
water providing volume and hydration to the skin.
HA fillers can be used to add volume to various areas of face such as lips, cheeks, nasolabial fold etc
The results are instant , depending on the filler used the effect may last for 6-18 months
