What is the difference between Botox and Facial Fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, etc? -Sandy
Botox and fillers help maintain a youthful appearance 2 different ways. Fillers are natural, gel-like substances that correct wrinkles by adding volume around the muscle with injections. Botox is a solution that blocks the chemicals that cause facial muscles to contract, thereby relaxing them. While fillers instantly “fill” the wrinkle, Botox will help prevent existing wrinkles from becoming more pronounced and help prevent new wrinkles from developing.
If you are considering Botox or a facial filler for the correction of fine lines and wrinkles but are unsure which is right for you, call 847-367-8815 today to schedule your free professional consultation with me or one of our nurses. We will make customized recommendations based on your skin type and the results you are looking for.
