As we age, our faces naturally lose subcutaneous fat. The facial muscles then work closer to the skin surface, making smile lines and crow’s feet more apparent. The facial skin also stretches a bit, adding to this loss of facial volume. Other factors that affect the facial skin include sun exposure, heredity, and lifestyle.
Whether you have a few wrinkles you’d like to smooth out or you want to put the brakes on new wrinkles appearing, Botox and dermal fillers may be the optimal solution. Botox and dermal fillers are popular aesthetic treatments helping to restore the beautiful, youthful vibrancy of your face, smile, and overall facial features.
Botox, or botulinum toxin, helps stop the formation of wrinkles around the mouth and eyes by interrupting the nerve transmitters that force the muscles to contract. There is no loss of feeling in your facial muscles, but the restricted movement will help ease the crinkling of the skin and the resulting wrinkles. By contrast, dermal fillers add volume to facial areas where wrinkles have already formed. The filler is gently injected underneath the skin to plump the site and make wrinkles significantly less noticeable.

Surgery such as a facelift, brow lift, or eye lift may be the best approach for some patients. Minimally invasive rejuvenation treatments, such as Botox and soft tissue fillers, cannot achieve the same results but may help delay the time when consideration of a facelift becomes appropriate. It is important to remember that Botox and dermal fillers are temporary treatments for facial aging, and ongoing treatments will be needed for long-term results.
