Botox is a neurotoxin that temporarily blocks the nerve signals in the muscle of which it is injected. Botox is used for a variety of aesthetic and medical procedures. Botox can be injected into a muscle to reduce, soften and/or remove the wrinkle in the skin by temporarily stopping the movement for 3-4 months.

Injectable dermal fillers are used to hydrate and plump the appearance of the skin. Fillers aid in the production of the collagen that is found in the skin. Common areas for filler are lips, smile lines, cheeks and deep wrinkles. Dermal fillers are expected to last 6-12 months.
