Botox and Dermal Fillers: Everything You Need to Know
Botox and dermal filler treatments are among the most preferred procedures in modern aesthetic medicine. These non-surgical treatments offer a younger, fresher, and more energetic appearance without the need for invasive procedures. In this section, I would like to share the most frequently asked questions about Botox and filler applications.
What Is Botox and How Does It Work?
Botox is a treatment used to reduce or eliminate wrinkles caused by excessive muscle activity. This procedure contains botulinum toxin, which temporarily blocks muscle contractions, allowing the skin to appear smoother and more youthful.
Where Is Botox Applied?
✔ Forehead lines
✔ Frown lines (vertical lines between the eyebrows)
✔ Crow’s feet (wrinkles around the eyes)
✔ Neck bands (for some patients, it is also effective in the neck area)
How Long Does Botox Last?
The effects of Botox typically last 4 to 6 months. With regular treatments, the duration can be extended.
What Are Dermal Fillers and What Are They Used For?
Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to restore lost volume, reduce wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers are the most commonly preferred because they are biocompatible with the body’s natural structure.
Where Are Fillers Applied?
✔ Cheek volume restoration
✔ Nasolabial folds (lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth)
✔ Lip augmentation
✔ Under-eye hollows
How Long Do Fillers Last?
The effects of filler treatments depend on the material used, lasting anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.

By combining Botox and fillers, we can smooth wrinkles while restoring lost volume, achieving a more balanced and natural facial appearance. This approach helps maintain facial harmony for optimal, long-lasting results.
