Injectable facial rejuvenation is a fantastic way to target and erase skin imperfections. From wrinkle reduction to adding definition to the face, these injections can provide long-lasting results. But, how can you know which type of injection is right for you? Let the doctors at The Aesthetic Medicine & Anti-Aging Clinics of Louisiana help you differentiate between the two. Botox® Cosmetic and dermal fillers, offered at our clinic in Baton Rouge, have many differences and benefits. Learn which injectable treatment is right for you!
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers, as the name implies, are designed to help fill hollow or shallow areas of the face. This can be wrinkles, thinning lips, scars, or features that have lost volume with age. Additionally, there are many types of dermal fillers:
- Juvederm, Restylane, and other varieties of hyaluronic acid fillers.
- Radiesse, a calcium hydroxylapatite filler.
- Sculptra, a polylactic acid filler.
Results are immediate and can last for varying lengths of time, depending on which dermal filler you use. Juvederm, for example, can last for up to a year! Dermal fillers are formulated for use in various areas of the face, from deep nasolabial folds to more delicate areas like the corners of the eyes. Your specialist can help you determine the right dermal filler to achieve your facial rejuvenation goals.
Dermal fillers are a great way to diminish signs of aging without the need for surgical intervention. However, dermal fillers cannot reach the level of results that surgical facelifts can. So if your needs are especially severe, you may consider talking with your facial rejuvenation specialist about whether or not surgery is right for you. But if you are interested in immediate results that don’t require surgery, schedule a consultation for dermal fillers today in Baton Rouge!
What is Botox?
Botox® Cosmetic is a product formed from purified botulinum toxin. This toxin is injected into a wrinkle to paralyze the muscles beneath it. By limiting the movement of the muscles beneath the skin, the skin above is less likely to move and crease. This effectively softens or even completely erases the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles! Even patients in their mid-twenties can enjoy the preventative benefits of these injections. So while dermal fillers use substances to fill in hollow areas, Botox® Cosmetic immobilizes muscle movement to prevent wrinkles. Injection appointments take about ten minutes, and results can last for up to four months.
