Botox and Juvederm are two of the most popular non-invasive cosmetic injectables on the market today. Both treatments are used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, but they work in different ways. Botox is excellent for treating dynamic wrinkles, such as crow's feet, brow lines and forehead wrinkles, while Juvederm is an excellent choice for reducing wrinkles through volume correction and can help limit the occurrence of volume loss in the cheek, under eye and lip areas. So, when it comes to treating forehead wrinkles, which treatment is best? Botox is best for dynamic wrinkles, such as puppet lines, frown lines, and forehead lines.
Juvederm is the best wrinkle smoother by limiting volume loss in the cheeks, under the eyes and on the lips. Fillers tend to last longer than BOTOX in most cases, but a filler may or may not give you the long-lasting results you would want for forehead lines. Lines can be smoothed with fillers, but in most cases, BOTOX is a superior option for forehead lines. Botulinum toxin and Juvederm are both non-injectable treatments that improve the appearance and texture of the skin without requiring invasive surgery or downtime.
Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm and Belotero, and calcium fillers such as Radiesse are the most common. Juvederm injectables stimulate the production of elastin and collagen in or near the treatment area with hyaluronic acid, a natural chemical compound in the body. Juvederm Vollure, Juvederm Ultra Plus XC, Juvederm Voluma XC and Juvederm Volbella are part of the Juvederm facial filler family.When you're trying to decide between Botox or Juvederm, you'll likely consider how quickly you'll see the results and how long those results will last. Generally speaking, Botox provides results within a few days and can last up to four months.
Juvederm generally provides optimal results with a single treatment ranging from 9 months to 18 months.To learn more about whether Botox or Juvederm is right for you, call AnU Aesthetics or Kitto Plastic Surgery to schedule a free consultation.
