Botox Injection
Botox comes from C. botulinum bacteria, which exists in many natural forms, including lakes, soil, forests, and the intestinal tracts of fish and mammals. Botox is a type of botulinum toxin, and a regulated amount is given to correct wrinkles and other medical and cosmetic treatments.
The experts inject Botox to block nerve signals in the muscles. The affected muscles are temporarily frozen or paralyzed. When the movement of these muscles is stopped, certain wrinkles are reduced, softened, or even removed. Botox injectables are also called neurotoxins or neuromodulators.
Botox injections are used for:

Fillers
Dermal fillers help to replace the subcutaneous fat we lose with age, plump the lips, smooth wrinkles, and restore our youthful appearance.
Dermal fillers are used to:
● Plump thin lips
● Enhance shallow contours
● Improve the appearance of recessed scars
● Soften facial creases and wrinkles
● Decrease or remove the shadow of the lower lids
● Reconstruct contour deformities in the face
Types of fillers include:
-
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring acid in the skin.
- Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) is a substance in our bones. These fillers usually last around a year and are generally used for deeper wrinkles.
- Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) helps our body to create collagen. Usually, poly-L-lactic acid is used to smooth deep wrinkles and can last two years or more.
- Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) fillers include collagen and very small balls which stay under the skin after the injection. The balls give volume to our skin and keep it firm.
Benefits of Botox and Fillers
The combination of injecting Botox and dermal fillers affects multiple areas of the face simultaneously. Botox injections are typically used around the eyes and forehead, and dermal fillers are usually used on the middle and lower areas of the face.
Using Botox and lip fillers together can prolong the results of treatment. The hyaluronic acid existing in fillers tends to break down faster in animated areas of the face (such as around the mouth). It can be helpful to use Botox first, relax muscle movement, and then fillers.
Both Botox and fillers are well-tolerated and non-invasive by patients, and the results appear within a few days.
Botox and Fillers' Side Effects
The side effects of Botox and fillers depend on the procedure performance and the individual. Typical side effects of these cosmetic treatments include:
● Bruising
● Rashes and swelling

● Droopiness of facial features
● Nausea and headache
● Lumps
● Paralysis and weakness
