But before you choose between snoozing and schmoozing, there\u2019s still one more decision to make regarding your fabulous future face: are you deciding on dermal fillers, or bringing on the Botox?<\/strong>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the difference, anyway?<\/p>\n

Understanding that can be a bit of a headache, so let\u2019s break it down:<\/p>\n

The Facts<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Although both\u00a0Botox<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0dermal fillers<\/a>\u00a0will leave you looking younger and fresher, there are significant differences in how they achieve that, as well as which parts of your face they\u2019re used for.<\/p>\n

Botox treatment focuses on the signs of ageing that result from muscle movement. Whether you\u2019re laughing, frowning or focusing, unsightly wrinkles form around the facial muscles over time \u2013 think crow\u2019s feet, forehead creases, and laughter lines.<\/p>\n

These blemishes are also known as dynamic wrinkles as they\u2019re usually only noticeable when you\u2019re moving your face and making expressions.\u00a0Botox injections<\/a>\u00a0reduce both the visibility and movement of dynamic wrinkles.<\/p>\n

Dermal fillers, on the other hand, work on static wrinkles. These are the wrinkles that aren\u2019t caused by movement and can be seen even when you aren\u2019t moving your face. Static wrinkles are usually found on the lower parts of a face, around the mouth and cheeks.

As well as working on static wrinkles, dermal fillers are also used for\u00a0lip enhancement<\/a>, for filling in sunken parts of the face, and for generally \u2018plumbing\u2019 up any area that needs it (such as the cheeks).

Every person has a different face, and every face reacts differently to ageing \u2013 treatment that works for you won\u2019t necessarily be the best treatment for someone else. Did Cathy from the office have\u00a0crow\u2019s feet<\/a>? Did your best friend Bethany want\u00a0bigger lips<\/a>?

Identifying your problem areas will be the biggest factor in deciding between Botox and dermal fillers.

The Secret \u2018Ingredients\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n


Hyaluronic acid<\/a>\u00a0is a type of sugar that\u2019s found in body tissue like skin and cartilage. When we\u2019re young, this acid is usually found in abundance in our skin, giving us that lovely plumbed-up, healthy look.

The hyaluronic acid used in dermal fillers is usually sourced from a bacterium or from avian; sometimes there\u2019s extra material added that makes the filler last longer.<\/strong>

The other common ingredient in the dermal filler recipe for youth is\u00a0collagen<\/a>. This protein can also be found in the skin as well as other bodily tissues. Collagen for dermal fillers is usually taken either from human cells or from bovine.

Almost every different type of dermal filler contains ingredients that will be completely absorbed by the body over time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
