Botox & Fillers FAQ
These are some frequently asked questions about Botox and filler treatments.
1
How do Botulinum Toxins Work?
When injected, these medications temporarily reduce muscle activity, leading to a noticeable smoothing of crow’s feet and frown lines between your brows. Wrinkles are caused by a combination of factors, not just age-related changes or environmental damage. For instance, frowning or concentrating contracts the muscles between your brows, causing skin to furrow and fold. Similarly, squinting contracts muscles around your eyes, leading to crow’s feet.

How do Fillers Work?
Dermal filler injections are a top choice in medical aesthetics due to their immediate results and no recovery time. These injections typically contain hyaluronic acid or collagen, naturally occurring in the skin. They replenish lost collagen due to aging, effectively filling in wrinkles and adding volume where needed. Wondering where fillers can enhance your face? Consider common treatment areas like the lips, cheeks, forehead lines, marionette lines, and nasolabial folds. More options are available and can be discussed during your complimentary consultation.
