Botox and Filler Q & A

What is Botox?

Botox is a neuromodulator, an injectable that forces muscles to relax. While Botox has many uses, including treatment of migraine headaches and some types of urinary incontinence, its best-known use is wrinkle reduction.

Botox is the most popular injectable cosmetic in the United States, with more than 4 million Americans having Botox treatments every year.

What are fillers?

Dermal fillers are cosmetic injectables that can fill in lost volume in the skin. Fillers contain hyaluronic acid (HA), poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), or other naturally occurring substances.

A dermal filler injection can help with:

Improving your facial contours and symmetry
Plumping up thin lips
Filling in nasolabial folds and marionette lines
Enhancing sunken-in cheeks
Filling in deep-pitted acne scars

Brooks Dermatology PC offers leading lines of dermal fillers, including Juvéderm®, Restylane®, and Sculptra®.

How do Botox and fillers work?

Botox and dermal filler treatments are simple: the injection process takes only a matter of minutes. Your specialist asks about your areas of concern and examines your skin or has you make some facial expressions to determine exactly what parts of the involved areas to target. The injections are virtually painless because they use an ultrafine syringe.

After treatment, you could notice the relaxing of your wrinkles and improvements in your look in as little as a day. Results improve steadily over the next week or so, with the final results being seen at 30 days*.

How often will I need to have Botox and fillers?

Botox can last for as long as four months, while dermal fillers may last for six months or more*. As time goes on, the product dissipates naturally. You’ll notice increased muscle movement and the lines will gradually return, however you can prevent this by scheduling retreatment. Your specialist at Brooks Dermatology PC can help you determine the best maintenance schedule.

Taking good care of your skin with cosmetic dermatology approaches like quality skin care and good sun protection can help you extend the results of your Botox and filler treatments as long as possible.
