Botox vs filler
Quick answer
What's the difference between Botox and filler?
Botox relaxes muscles to soften lines caused by movement, like forehead lines and crow's feet. Dermal filler adds volume to areas such as the lips, cheeks and jaw, or fills lines that are there at rest. Many people use both for different areas.
| Botox | Dermal filler | |
|---|---|---|
| Works by | Relaxing muscles | Adding volume |
| Common areas | Forehead, 11s, crow's feet | Lips, cheeks, chin, jaw |
| Typically lasts | Around 3–4 months | Around 6–18 months, by product and area |
