BOTOX

Botox is made up of a botulinum toxin that is sourced from bacteria. Tiny and regulated amounts of Botox are used to remove wrinkles. However, in large amounts, the injections can be deadly. When injected, it blocks nerve signals, temporarily paralysing the affected muscles. This, in turn, softens and reduces wrinkles due to minimal movement.

WHAT BOTOX CORRECTS AND SIDE EFFECTS

Botox works on dynamic wrinkles caused by the movement of muscles. However, it does not fix wrinkles formed as a result of sagging. These types of wrinkles are common on the neck, jowl area and cheek. Side effects of Botox include headache, pain, bleeding, dry mouth, nausea, blurry vision, weakness, trouble breathing or speaking, itching and hives on the skin.

DERMAL FILLERS

Botox is made up of a botulinum toxin that is sourced from bacteria. Tiny and regulated amounts of Botox are used to remove wrinkles. However, in large amounts, the injections can be deadly. When injected, it blocks nerve signals, temporarily paralysing the affected muscles. This, in turn, softens and reduces wrinkles due to minimal movement.

WHAT DERMAL FILLERS CORRECT AND SIDE EFFECTS

The main purpose of all fillers is to treat aging signs. They can decrease and remove wrinkles and fill in recessed scars. Side effects include skin rash, itching, bruising, bleeding, swelling, scarring, blurred vision and redness.
