Botox and dermal fillers are both wrinkle treatments – but they represent two very different, and sometimes complementary, approaches to rejuvenating the appearance of your face for a more refreshed, pleasant look.
What is Botox?
Botox is a minimally invasive treatment that reduces the appearance of fine lines and small wrinkles on the face. It works best on dynamic wrinkles. To find out more about Botox, see the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery’s information.
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are substances that plump the skin of the face where it has lost volume because of natural aging processes. It works best on folds that show when the face is at rest. The American Board of Cosmetic Surgery has more information about dermal fillers.
Temporary cosmetic procedures
Botox and dermal fillers are both temporary procedures. Dermal fillers have a longer-lasting effect than Botox. To keep up the effects of Botox and dermal fillers, you’ll need to have maintenance treatments. Good practitioners place a high value on ongoing relationships with their clients, which is why it’s a good idea to take your time researching and selecting a practitioner for your anti-wrinkle treatments.
Is Botox more painful that dermal fillers?
Botox may need more injections than a dermal filler; but dermal fillers use larger needles.
Which is safer: Botox or fillers?
Neuromodulators like Botox are a safe, effective cosmetic treatment when administered by a trained practitioner. Dermal fillers should also always be given by a certified practitioner. They have slightly more side effects and risks than Botox.
Which is best for me: Botox or fillers?
Everyone’s skin ages differently, and only a qualified practitioner can tell you which cosmetic procedure is best for you.
Botox and fillers should only be administered after a face-to-face consultation. The practitioner will want to know what results you would like, and they will also need to take a medical history to ensure the treatment is safe for you.
They can then come up with a treatment plan that will help you meet your goals safely and effectively.
A certified Botox practitioner, like the ones at Canadian Travel Clinics, will have a proper grasp of facial anatomy and an understanding of facial aesthetics so you can be assured they will administer the treatment safely and effectively.
Where is the best place to get Botox?
Botox treatments are so quick that some people get them during lunch hour from a cosmetic clinic near their work! But just because a clinic is convenient, that doesn’t make it the right choice for you. The best Botox injectors have up-to-date training and a modern, hygienic setting. They will be happy to tell you about their qualifications and training, too. They will also have before and after photos to show you, so you can see what sort of results they get.
At Canadian Travel Clinics, we take pride in the cosmetic services we offer, and when you come for your Botox appointment, our practitioners will be happy to answer all your questions. Use our clinics page to make an appointment today.
