In the past, going under the knife was the only option for getting rid of those deep creases, crow’s feet and sagging skin on your face.

But now there are less extreme alternatives like Botox or Dermal Filler treatments that can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and help make your skin look more vibrant, smooth and youthful.

Botox Treatments

Botox is an injection into the muscles to paralyse it which makes wrinkles and fine lines less obvious. Botox is one of the most popular treatments to have and celebrities are usually in the press and pointed out for having treatments and you may have of heard of ‘Botox parties’ where people get together and have injections done over a few drinks. Botox can leave you with smooth, youthful skin but it can also leave the muscles in your face paralysed, which can lead to some unusual facial expressions!

Dermal Fillers

On the other hand, Dermal Fillers have also had proven results of being an effective treatment to prevent aging, without paralysing the facial muscles. Rather that injecting into the muscle, dermal fillers are injected into the skin and fill up creases which adds volume to improve the look of wrinkles and fine lines.

Dermal fillers can give a more natural result compared to Botox, as it does not affect facial expressions but rather just plumps up the skin that is wrinkled. Fillers plump up sagging and the skin’s elasticity, which if done correctly, can smooth out the consequences of aging, making your skin look rejuvenated and youthful.

Research

Unfortunately neither Botox treatments nor Dermal Fillers last forever, with the affects normally wearing off after about 6 months. However, the treatments may not be permanent like having plastic surgery, but it’s certainly less painful!

Like any other treatments, if you are thinking of having Botox or dermal fillers, make sure you do your research into the different options first and have a consultation with a professional. Why not contact Jill Zander today for more information and a free consultation?
