Injection Types - What's the Difference?
Botulinum toxins
Botulinum toxins
Botulinum toxins
Botulinum toxins work by blocking nerve signals in the muscles where they are injected. When those nerve signals are interrupted, the affected muscle is temporarily paralyzed or "frozen". Without movement of these selected muscles in the face, certain wrinkles may be softened, reduced, or even removed.
Botulinum toxins only work on wrinkles that are caused by muscle movement. These are known as dynamic wrinkles, and are often called “expression lines.” The most common dynamic wrinkles that can be treated are lines on the upper face, such as the “11's” between the brows, horizontal lines on the forehead, and crow’s feet around the eyes. These lines are caused by smiling, frowning, squinting, and other facial expressions.
Botulinum toxins will not work on fine lines and wrinkles caused by sagging or loss of plumpness in the face. These are known as static wrinkles. Static wrinkles include lines in the cheeks, neck, and jowl areas.
Toxin injections are not a permanent treatment. Repeated treatments are necessary for continued wrinkle-reducing effects. Most people find that the muscle-relaxing effect of the injections last for 3 to 4 months.
Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers, sometimes called soft tissue fillers, are substances designed to be injected beneath the surface of the skin to add volume and fullness.
Different types of dermal fillers are designed to treat varying signs of aging. Depending on the filler selected, they may:
- plump up thinning lips
- enhance or fill in shallow areas on the face
- decrease or remove the shadow or wrinkle under the eyes caused by the lower eyelid
- fill in or soften the look of recessed scars
- fill in or soften static wrinkles, especially on the lower face
- reconstruct contour deformities in the face
The time that dermal fillers they take to work, as well as how long they last, will vary. Some fillers last 6 months, while others last up to 2 years or longer. You should discuss your individual needs and expectations with your aesthetician or physician to determine what type of filler would be the best choice for you.
Because toxins and fillers are different substances designed for different uses, at times they can both be done in one treatment.
