BOTOX

BOTOX® Cosmetic and fillers are different types of injectables used for facial rejuvenation. BOTOX® Cosmetic helps the skin look smooth by relaxing the muscle under a wrinkle or line. Fillers, on the other hand, add volume below the surface of the skin to enhance features and fill in visible signs of aging.

The outcome of any BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment depends heavily on the skill of the injector and the technique used. Where your provider places the wrinkle-relaxing product and how much they administer can be the difference between looking natural and looking slightly stiff. With this in mind, many patients are seeking out “micro-BOTOX” or “Baby BOTOX” to achieve a subtle and refreshed look. Keep reading to learn all about this popular new injection technique.
