Today, Juvederm and Botox are the most popular cosmetic injectable treatments, and for a good reason. Both treatments can quickly reverse any unwanted signs of aging, while being relatively painless, safe, affordable, and requires little to no recovery period.
However, while these are both excellent anti-aging treatments, they differ in what concerns they can address, as well as in how they work. In order to determine which option is right for you, here are some things you should consider:
Botox: Botox works by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles which cause wrinkles. When it is injected into the treatment area, Botox blocks neuron signals to the muscle, allowing you to conduct facial expressions without developing any creases or wrinkles.
Juvederm: As a dermal filler, Juvederm doesn’t work by relaxing facial muscles, but rather by adding volume beneath the skin to fill in any wrinkles and smooth out your skin. In addition to addressing creases, Juvederm can also be used for lip augmentation or filling out facial features that have lost volume due to age.
Botox typically lasts 3-4 months, while Juvederm can last a little longer (up to 12 months), depending on where it is injected. However, when patients undergo regular touch-ups, they can maintain the results of their treatments for longer.
5 WAYS TO MAKE YOUR BOTOX RESULTS LAST
While the results of both injectables are temporary, there is a difference when it comes to reversibility. With Botox, this is not possible, so patients must wait for the effects of their treatment to fade. However, with Juvederm, your results can be reversed using hyaluronidase if required.
Tip: By ensuring that you seek the services of an experienced plastic surgeon for your injectable treatment, you will avoid an undesirable outcome or the need for changing your results, but more importantly, you’ll avoid any dangerous side effects.
