Botox & Filler: Define Your Features
Botox vs. Filler Explained
What’s the Difference?
Botox: The wrinkle relaxer. It smooths out fine lines and softens expression wrinkles (think forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines) by gently relaxing the muscles.
Fillers: The volume booster. They restore lost plumpness, contour your features, and give that naturally lifted, youthful effect.

Botox FAQ’s
-
Most people say it feels like a tiny pinch or a quick sting—nothing major. The needles are super fine, and any discomfort is minimal and over in seconds.
-
You’ll love your results after just one session! But since Botox isn’t permanent, touch-ups are needed every 4-6 months to keep that smooth, refreshed look. The good news? Over time, your muscles get the hint and stay more relaxed, meaning you might be able to space out treatments even further with consistent use. It’s like training your wrinkles not to show up uninvited!
-
Botox is a very safe procedure, like any treatment, there are some potential side effects, including:
Temporary bruising, swelling, or tenderness at the injection site
Mild headache or flu-like symptoms
Droopy eyelid or uneven brows (rare and usually temporary)
Eye dryness or excessive tearing
A slightly off smile (don’t worry—it’s not permanent!)

Filler FAQ’s
-
Fillers are generally well-tolerated, some people might feel a bit uncomfortable, especially if you're not a fan of needles. We use the best techniques to keep you as comfortable as possible, with the help of cold compresses and numbing ointments. The recovery should be pretty painless, but you might experience some minor soreness or bruising right after. It’s totally normal and fades quickly!
-
While dermal fillers give you amazing results right after your first treatment, they’re not permanent. You can enjoy your refreshed look for 6-12 months, after which your body will naturally absorb the filler. If you want to keep that youthful glow going strong, a touch-up appointment will help maintain your results.
-
Fillers are generally very safe, there are some potential side effects may include:
