At New York Eye and Face Oculoplastic Surgery, board-certified oculofacial plastic surgeon Dr. Anaïs Carniciu provides Westchester patients with precision-crafted, natural-looking rejuvenation treatments. Among the most popular non-surgical options are BOTOX and dermal fillers, each offering unique benefits for combating signs of aging. Understanding the differences between these two treatments is key to selecting the right approach for your beauty goals.
Let’s explore the essentials of BOTOX and fillers to help you make an informed, confident choice for your facial rejuvenation journey.
What is BOTOX?
BOTOX is a neuromodulator derived from botulinum toxin that works by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. These are the lines and creases that form from years of repeated expressions, such as frowning, squinting, or smiling. BOTOX treatments at New York Eye and Face are always performed by Dr. Carniciu herself, ensuring tasteful, artistic results that never appear frozen or overdone.
Benefits of BOTOX include:
- Smoothing forehead lines and crow’s feet
- Softening frown lines between the brows
- Creating a more relaxed, youthful facial expression
- Delivering quick treatments with no downtime
- Providing results that last approximately 3-4 months
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers, by contrast, are injectable gels designed to restore lost volume, smooth static wrinkles, and contour the face. Unlike dynamic lines treated with BOTOX, static lines are visible even when the face is at rest. Fillers such as Restylane, RHA Collection, and Evolysse, available at New York Eye and Face, help rejuvenate areas like the cheeks, lips, and jawline, offering instant revitalization.
Key benefits of dermal fillers include:
- Replenishing volume in sunken or hollow facial areas
- Enhancing lip fullness and definition
- Softening deep lines such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines
- Providing natural, youthful contours to the face
- Delivering immediate results with minimal downtime
How to Choose the Right Treatment
While both BOTOX and fillers are powerful anti-aging tools, the right choice depends on your specific concerns and goals. During your private consultation at New York Eye and Face, Dr. Carniciu will perform a detailed assessment and recommend a tailored plan based on your facial anatomy and aesthetic vision.
Here’s a simple comparison:
- Choose BOTOX if: You want to reduce dynamic wrinkles caused by facial movements, such as crow’s feet or forehead lines.
- Choose dermal fillers if: You want to restore volume, contour the cheeks or jawline, or smooth deep, static wrinkles.
- Consider both if: You’re looking for a comprehensive, harmonious facial rejuvenation that addresses multiple aging concerns at once.
