What differs Fillers from Botox?


Radiesse
is calcium base filler which makes it a non-allergenic product that reduces the appearance of wrinkles and skin folds around the mouth and nose, gives fullness to cheeks, smoothes the appearance of jowls and fills certain scars. Radiesse is popular for its long-lasting results. The benefits continue for a year to a year and half. Since Radiesse is temporary, treatments must be repeated over the years to maintain the benefit. Dr. Pierzchajlo stresses importance on achieving optimal results, so small injections spaced out over several sessions
may be required to achieve satisfactory results. Being that Radiesse is a calcium based gel making it non-allergenic, the complications are typically limited to minimal swelling and bruising and normal activities can be resumed immediately after treatment. 




Depending on your areas of concern, there may be alternative treatment options available. Juvederm XC is an effective product that helps to smooth facial wrinkles especially highly visible ones around the mouth and nose. The lack of hyaluronic acid which is found in young, healthy skin can be replaced by using safe dermal filler. Juvederm XC injectable gel works to correct this by restoring hyaluronic acid in your skin, helping to diminish wrinkles and nasolabial folds. Juvederm is also useful for enhancing lip volume, creating a plump and pouty look while remaining soft and natural to the touch. From smile lines to vertical lip lines, you can smooth away unwanted wrinkles and restore natural contours. The product is infused with lidocaine, a numbing solution which improves comfort during treatment.  With Juvederm XC you get the smooth results you expect, with the improved comfort you want.




A large number of people are having Botox injections performed to regain a more youthful appearance. Botox is most often used on the forehead, crow’s feet, and frown lines.
So, now we know that fillers add volume, how does Botox work? It blocks the release of chemicals that triggers the muscle contractions that create wrinkles. So, you can say goodbye to frown lines and say hello to smoother looking skin!

  1. I also want to have a more youthful appearance and so I'm really interested in having a Toronto botox procedure. I've heard this treatment is very safe and effective. I hope it will work for me too! Now, I'm looking for a professional and skilled doctor in order to have extraordinary results.

  2. I have heard that dermal fillers are better than botox, not sure if this is true, the above mentioned information can be really useful for people who want to get rid of wrinkles.

    1. Hey Emily! The truth is that fillers and botox are neither better or worse. But just different. They are able to target completely different issues, most of the time patients need both in different areas. Think about it this way, Botox works on wrinkles that are caused by your muscles contracting (between your brows for instances). But fillers are used in areas were there is a loss of volume under the skin that causes saggy or loose skin. Thank you for your comment and I hope this information helps!
