Fillers vs Botox

When you want to improve how your skin looks and achieve a youthful glow, Botox in Trinity, and New Port Richey, FL, can help. At Trinity Dermatology and Aesthetic Centre, our board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Brian Johnson, offers this skin treatment to help men and women to reduce any signs of aging on their faces. During a consultation, he can discuss the differences between fillers and Botox to help you make an informed decision about your treatment goals. 

What is Botox? 

Botox is made of the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. When injected into the face, it helps to smooth lines and wrinkles by temporarily stopping muscles from contracting. We use Botox to help patients who want to achieve younger-looking skin and to reduce any early signs of aging without needing invasive cosmetic treatments or even plastic surgery. 

Botox targets larger wrinkles that affect facial expression. You are a great candidate for Botox when you have: 

• Crow’s feet
• Frown lines
• Forehead wrinkles
• Smile lines
• Furrow lines

Getting Botox in Trinity, And New Port Richey, FL, takes just ten minutes. There is no downtime with this skin treatment. Your injections are administered in one session and any discomfort experienced is very minimal. It can take up to 72 hours for Botox to take effect. You can expect your results to last about four months. Maintenance treatments help you to keep your results looking fresh much longer. 

What Are Fillers? 

Fillers are meant to relax how wrinkles and lines look. However, Dr. Johnson and his team at Trinity Dermatology and Aesthetic Centre commonly use it to restore lost volume throughout the face. The filler solution is made of hyaluronic acid or collagen. When this is injected, the filler can smooth and expand the skin, making it look youthful again. It can be used on the face, cheeks, chin, and even the lips. Collagen fillers will give you results for about four months, while hyaluronic acid ones can last up to a year.
