Anti-wrinkle treatment and dermal fillers: what’s the difference?

As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and begins to wrinkle; this is a natural process, but it can be accelerated by factors such as sun exposure, smoking, and stress. Anti-wrinkle treatments and dermal fillers are two popular options for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. But what’s the difference between the two, and which one is right for you?

Anti-wrinkle treatments

Anti-wrinkle treatments work by temporarily relaxing the muscles in the face; this reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. We use botulinum toxin type A, which has been FDA-approved and made from non-animal sources. This substance is injected into the muscles in the face in just a few minutes, and it can last for up to around 3 months.

Dermal fillers

Dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid gels. The body naturally produces hyaluronic acid and this is what gives your skin elasticity. However, as we age, our production of hyaluronic acid lessens. Dermal fillers are injected into the skin to add volume and plump up wrinkles. Dermal fillers can last for up to 6 to 12 months. Dermal fillers are a good option for people who have deep wrinkles or folds in their skin. They can also be used to correct asymmetry in the face, such as a sunken cheek or a thin upper lip. As lip fillers, dermal fillers typically need a top-up every 6 months.
