Nonsurgical injectable treatments are certainly a popular trend throughout the country. They can improve your skin, fade imperfections, and rejuvenate your appearance—all without recovery time. BOTOX®, dermal fillers, and Sculptra® are some of the most popular options at our Buckhead medspa. Each treatment offers its own unique benefits, but which one is right for you?
Each treatment works well for a specific set of goals, so in this blog post, I’ll outline the differences between BOTOX, fillers, and Sculptra. This overview should help you choose the option best suited for your needs.
Benefits of BOTOX
BOTOX is mainly used to fade the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines caused by the repetitive movement of your facial muscles. The active ingredient in BOTOX relaxes those muscles and prevents them from flexing and pulling on the skin. It treats areas such as eyes, lips, and forehead. Patients can enjoy smoother, wrinkle-free skin for up to 4 months after treatment.
Benefits of dermal fillers
Dermal fillers are a great way to add youthful volume to the skin. Different filler brands offer different formulations used to treat specific issues. JUVÉDERM®, for example, can plump up thin lips and fade smile lines around the mouth. Others, such as Restylane®, can lift sagging cheeks and reduce the facial signs of aging. Results can last from a few months to a few years, depending on the area treated and the type of product used.
Benefits of Sculptra
Sculptra is an injectable treatment used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and facial folds. The active ingredient replaces lost collagen and boosts the skin from within. The results are natural-looking, gradually developing over time. Sculptra typically lasts for at least 2 years, which is much longer than many other filler options.
Which injectable is right for you?
No two patients are the same, so every treatment is customized to each individual. If you’re trying to decide which injectable is best for you, here are a few general guidelines.
- BOTOX: Fades fine lines and wrinkles; requires treatment every 3 to 4 months.
- Dermal fillers: Adds facial volume and fights the signs of aging; requires treatment every 2 months to 2 years, depending on the product used.
- Sculptra: Corrects wrinkles and deep facial folds; it requires a series of treatments but achieves long-lasting results.
