Do I need Botox or filler?
Botox and fillers are both used for wrinkles but are usually used in different areas of the face. However, sometimes they can be used in the same area for synergistic results. Botox traditionally is used for wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle movement. This includes the forehead, the wrinkles between your eyebrows, crow’s feet and wrinkles around your lips. Fillers are used to plump wrinkles caused from decreased volume or skin laxity. They are used to create volume in the cheeks and lips and can fill in wrinkles around the lips and the lines that extend from the corner of you nose to the corner of your lip (nasolabial folds).
