Filling with hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin (“botox”) are rejuvenating procedures that soften the signs of time, but have different functions. ?

Filling with hyaluronic acid is indicated to correct static wrinkles, which are those that can be seen even with a relaxed face. It fills in furrows such as the Chinese mustache, dark circles, restores the lost volume of the cheekbones and lips, restores the facial contour. That is, it fills in creases and restores volume in the regions that need it. – Lasts about 1 year to 1 year and a half. ?

Botulinum toxin ("botox") does not give volume or fill. It acts on dynamic wrinkles, that is, those that arise when we move the muscle and that generate expression marks. It relaxes the muscle, and without movement, there is no wrinkle formation. Thus, it smoothes the expression wrinkles of the forehead, sides of the eyes ("crow's feet"), glabella (between the eyebrows), nose ("bunny lines"), wrinkles of the orbicularis oris muscle ("barcode") , chin, vertical creases of the neck, in addition to other regions.
It lasts from 4 to 6 months. ✅ See that the two procedures complement each other!
