How Botox differs from fillers?

Ageing is a natural process; we cannot stop it at any cost. However, we can maintain our youthfulness after taking care of our skin and avoid long exposures to sunlight, harsh temperatures, and dryness. Collagen and elastin are the two major components of our skin. When we age the concentration of these components, start declining and skin started become dryers and thinner, while start losing its elasticity. Besides this, another component called Hyaluronic Acid (HA) start diminishing as we get older. Its reduction leaves skin less supported, which eventually results in wrinkles. These folds can be treated with a suitable amount of dermal fillers like (Poly-L-Lactic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid Gel and Microscopic Calcium Crystals) leaving skin fresh and smooth.

In contrast to that Botox is a purified injectable protein isolated from one of the lethal toxin called Botulinum toxin. Instead of treating facial lines, it also treats certain medical conditions like hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). As both of them are administered via injections to rectify signs of aging, people usually get confused and assume them similar. However, they are tackling the same issues their action is entirely different.  

Here I am sharing a brief description which will help you differentiate between these two efficient anti-ageing remedies.   

What are the distinguishing features of Botox?

Marketed with a common trade name of Botox, the product is scientifically known as “Botulinum Toxin”. Initially, they were used to treat facial wrinkles; later they are also utilized to treat diseases like muscle dystonias, strabismus, and blepharospasms. Finally, in the year of 2002, this was officially approved by FDA as a cosmetic treatment for frown line and wrinkles above the eyebrows. Since that time it has been effectively using as a most-reliable and a desirable treatment to prevent and treat effects of aging that might be appearing on the face. Their action is to reduce the activity of facial muscles causing wrinkles. 

How to recognize facial fillers?

They are also called dermal fillers. After preventing and eliminating signs of ageing such as doublings and fine lines, they differ due to the way they work on wrinkled areas. They simply fill the trouble areas with collagen which increases collagen growth in the face making it plumbed and lift the skin to replace collagen loss. This will eliminate ageing signs caused by collagen depletion. 

How to choose between the two?

Selection of the two anti-ageing therapies purely depends on what kind of pleats and fine lines you are willing to get rid of. Botox can efficiently reduce the visibility of dynamic lines after reducing their mobility. Such lines are usually formed over motion making expression areas like forehead and around the eyebrows. In contrast to that facial fillers are best for static lines that become very visible even if the face is relaxed and expressionless. These areas are usually depleted and sunken areas that regain their fullness with an injection. 

Summary: Although both the treatments fillers and Botox in Dubai are equally beneficial, understanding these basic differences between the two age rectifying remedies will help you to pick the best to treatment.
