Dermal fillers have become the go-to treatment for men and women who want to have a non-surgical treatment to fix their aesthetic issues. Dermal fillers are considered to be safe, effective and minimally invasive.

If you are considering dermal fillers or Botox to fix those annoying wrinkles and restore your youthfulness, then you must be baffled about the procedure and its effect.

Here we have curated the most frequently asked questions about dermal fillers and Botox.

[b]How Botox is different from dermal fillers?[/b]

Botox is primarily used to treat wrinkles in the upper face and around the eyes. During this procedure, purified botulinum toxin is injected into specific muscles of the affected area to weakening them so that they cannot pull on the underlying skin (repeated pulling of the underlying skin causes skin to wrinkle).

As far as dermal fillers (Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, Radiesse, Selphyl) is concerned, they are primarily used to plump facial features such as lips, chin, cheeks and other areas of the face that have lost volume over the course of time. They are also used to treat wrinkles.

[b]What precautions one should take before dermal treatment?[/b]

You need to avoid the following medications and supplements two weeks prior to your session:
NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications)
Aspirin
High doses of Vitamin E (over 800mg per day)
Don’t have alcohol for at least 24 hours prior to treatment since it thins the blood, thereby increasing the chances of bruising.
Consult your cosmetic surgeon to know more about what you should avoid prior to your treatment.

[b]Can Botox and dermal fillers be used together?[\b]

Botox and dermal fillers can be used in combination to achieve the best results. Botox is used to fix wrinkles on your forehead and frown lines whereas dermal fillers are used to plump and balance the areas that have lost volume.
