Question:
I’m from Round Rock and interested in some type of wrinkle treatment. Do Botox injections work as well on smoothing wrinkles as injectable fillers?
Answer:
Botox and injectable fillers, such as Juvederm or Restylane, serve different functions in improvement in wrinkles. Botox is only involved in relaxation of the muscles that make wrinkles and so therefore is only useful in the areas where muscles can be relaxed to improve appearance. Fillers are useful for lines that become etched in and can either be the only treatment utilized or in areas where Botox is also used to be a complementary treatment.
