Great question! The main differences are:
**Botox:**
- Neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes muscles
- Used for dynamic wrinkles (expression lines)
- Common areas: forehead, crow's feet, frown lines
- Results last 3-4 months
- Prevents wrinkles from forming/deepening
**Dermal Fillers:**
- Add volume to areas that have lost fullness
- Used for static wrinkles and volume loss
- Common areas: lips, cheeks, nasolabial folds
- Results last 6-18 months depending on type
- Restore lost facial volume
Botox is preventative and treats muscle movement, while fillers restore volume and smooth static lines.
