Botox Injection
Botox is the common name for the protein substance produced by the bacterium clostridium botulinum. It was initially used in eye and brain surgery to prevent muscle spasms.
In cosmetic procedures, Botox is injected into the muscles that cause wrinkles around the eyes, between the eyebrows, on the forehead, and on the nose. It prevents the transmission of signals from the brain to the muscles, causing them to be paralyzed and unable to contract, thus preventing the formation of wrinkles.

However, it is important to note that when deciding to inject Botox into the muscles around the mouth, your smile may not look natural or fresh, as the mouth muscles will be “frozen”.
Filler Injection
Filler is the general term for substances used to fill in, such as autologous fat, synthetic collagen, synthetic polymers, or even liquid silicone.
However, the most highly regarded and popular type of filler is HA (Hyaluronic Acid) filler. This type of filler contains HA components similar to those found in the human body, making it highly compatible and non-allergenic when injected under the skin.

HA is known for its water-retaining properties, so HA filler helps improve skin dehydration and volume loss, which are the main causes of static wrinkles as mentioned earlier. Filler is commonly chosen to smooth out nose-to-mouth lines, wrinkles at the corners of the mouth, and to plump up the under-eye area, lips, and more.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Botox and Filler Injections
One advantage and also a disadvantage of both Botox and filler injections is that they only have a temporary effect and will eventually be metabolized by the body.
Advantages are that due to their short duration of action, Botox and filler injections do not leave any complications in the body.
Disadvantages are that once their effects wear off, you will need to have repeat injections to maintain the desired results.
However, it is important to choose a skilled doctor for Botox and filler injections to ensure safety. The doctor will assess your skin condition correctly, use the appropriate injection dosage, choose the correct injection site and depth in the skin to avoid blood vessels and nerves. This helps prevent risks such as bleeding, infection, unnatural or deformed facial appearance in the injection area.
