Botox® is an FDA-approved cosmetic treatment that uses a protein called botulinum to diminish the visible signs of aging. Botulinum is a neurotoxic protein that temporarily reduces muscle activity below the skin, preventing the contractions and movements that deepen wrinkles and frown lines. Despite its cosmetic reputation, Botox® also has medical applications as it has been shown to reduce migraines
Fillers (also known as tissue or dermal fillers) are injections applied beneath the skin's surface to add volume and create a more youthful appearance. Several substances are used for fillers, including calcium, hyaluronic acid, and polyalkylimide, each targeting a different sign of aging. Like Botox®, fillers are absorbed by your body over time – while some injections can last for six months, others remain for upwards of two years.
