When it comes to non-surgical facial rejuvenation, Botox and dermal fillers are two of the most popular options in Hendersonville—but they aren’t the same thing. If you’re considering cosmetic treatments and wondering which is right for you, our experienced Hendersonville injectors are here to help break it down.
What Is Botox?
Botox is a neuromodulator made from botulinum toxin. This toxin causes paralysis in muscles, and temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for expression lines. It’s most commonly used to treat wrinkles and fine lines in the upper face, primarily:
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines (the “11s”)
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
At our Hendersonville clinic, Botox treatments are quick (around 15 minutes not including our free 30-minute consultation), with minimal downtime, and results typically last 3–4 months.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Fillers are gel-like substances (most often made of hyaluronic acid) injected under the skin to “fill” or restore volume, smooth deeper wrinkles, and enhance facial contours.
It’s commonly used on parts of the face below the eyebrows—remember, botox is typically used around the eyes and above, including the furrows between the eyes.
Here are a few common treatment areas for fillers:
- Cheek and mid-face volume loss
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Lip enhancement
- Under-eye hollowing
Fillers can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the product and area treated.
Botox vs. Fillers: What’s the Difference?
Feature | Botox | Fillers |
---|---|---|
Targets | Dynamic wrinkles (from movement) | Static wrinkles & volume loss |
Results Duration | 3–4 months | 6–24 months |
Treatment Time | ~15 minutes | ~20–30 minutes |
Common Areas Treated | Forehead, eyes, frown lines | Cheeks, lips, jawline, under eyes |
Which One Do I Need?
That depends on your aesthetic goals. Many of our Botox Hendersonville patients also benefit from a combination approach. For example, we might use Botox to smooth forehead lines and fillers to restore cheek volume or enhance the lips.
Our injectors in Hendersonville will create a custom treatment plan tailored to your unique facial structure, concerns, and desired results.
