A patient receives a Botox treatment to reduce dynamic wrinkles, using precise injections to relax facial muscles responsible for expression lines.

What is Botox?

Botox is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles the ones caused by movement and expression.

✅ Best for:

• Dynamic wrinkles (e.g. frown lines, crow’s feet)

• Forehead lines, “11” lines between brows

• Clients seeking smoother skin and a refreshed look

  
  

🕒 Results & Longevity:

• Noticeable within a few days

• Lasts 3–4 months

• No downtime

  
  

✨ Think of Botox as preventing wrinkles before they settle in.

What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable gels, typically made from hyaluronic acid, that add volume and contour to the face. They’re ideal for restoring lost volume and treating deeper, static wrinkles.

✅ Best for:

• Volume loss and static wrinkles

• Fuller lips, contoured cheeks, defined jawlines

• Nasolabial folds and marionette lines

  
  

🕒 Results & Longevity:

• Instant results

• Lasts 6–18 months

• Minimal downtime

✨ Think of fillers as replacing the volume time has taken away.
