👩⚕️ Introduction
When it comes to non-surgical aesthetic treatments, Botox and dermal fillers are two of the most popular choices. But they serve very different purposes — and understanding how they work can help you make the right decision for your face and features.
At ZOH Aesthetic Clinic, Dr. Prea Ravichandren takes the time to explain the difference and recommend a treatment plan that suits your goals, whether you’re looking to smooth wrinkles or add natural volume.
💉 What is Botox?
Botox (Botulinum Toxin) is an injectable muscle relaxant. It temporarily blocks nerve signals to specific facial muscles, softening dynamic wrinkles — the lines formed by repeated facial expressions like frowning or squinting.
Best For:
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines (between brows)
- Crow’s feet (around eyes)
- Bunny lines (nose wrinkles)
⏱ Duration: 15–20 mins
⏳ Results: Start showing in 3–5 days
🕰 Lasts: 3–4 months
💧 What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal Fillers are gel-like substances (usually hyaluronic acid) that add volume and structure to areas of the face that appear hollow, saggy, or deflated due to aging.
Best For:
- Plumping lips
- Filling under-eye hollows
- Enhancing cheeks or jawline
- Smoothing smile lines (nasolabial folds)
- Lifting sagging skin
⏱ Duration: 30–45 mins
⏳ Results: Instant
🕰 Lasts: 9–18 months (depending on area and product)
⚖️ Fillers vs. Botox: Key Differences
| Feature | Botox | Dermal Fillers |
|---|---|---|
| Main Purpose | Relax muscle movement | Add volume / fill hollow areas |
| Best For | Dynamic wrinkles | Static wrinkles, contouring |
| Results Time | 3–5 days | Immediate |
| Duration | 3–4 months | 9–18 months |
| Used On | Forehead, eyes | Lips, cheeks, jaw, under-eyes |
🤔 Which One Should You Choose?
✔️ Go for Botox if…
You want to soften lines caused by movement (like forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, or frown lines).
✔️ Choose Fillers if…
You’re looking to restore lost volume, contour your face, or enhance lips and cheeks.
✔️ Sometimes, the best approach is a combination!
This is called a “liquid facelift” — using both Botox and fillers to achieve balanced, natural-looking rejuvenation.
👩⚕️ Dr. Prea’s Insight:
“Many patients come in unsure of what they need — and that’s okay. During your consultation, I assess your face holistically and design a custom plan using Botox, fillers, or both for the most natural results.”
