Filler is a substance made of hyaluronic acid that is injected to add fullness to the face, lift sagging areas, fill deep wrinkles, and provide brightness and radiance to the skin after injection. It is a non-permanent substance.

Botox is a substance containing Botulinum toxin that is injected to eliminate dynamic wrinkles such as forehead wrinkles and lines around the eyes. It is also used to reduce excessive sweating in different body areas, which is one of its therapeutic uses. Additionally, it is injected in cases of rosacea, to improve large pores in the skin, and to reduce the activity of overactive sebaceous glands.

The average duration of filler in the body is from 3 to 6 months, and in some cases, up to a year. The duration varies from person to person depending on the activity of the hyaluronidase enzyme in the body.

Botox results appear within two weeks of injection and last up to three months. The effects start to weaken in the fourth month, and injections are typically done every six months.

Radiesse is an injection of calcium hydroxyapatite, a strong collagen and elastin stimulator for the skin. It is considered safer than other collagen stimulators. It’s injected to achieve skin radiance and improve skin quality. It can also be used like a filler to lift the face without adding volume. Its uses are determined by the doctor based on the patient’s condition and needs.
