Botox™ might be the gold standard in anti-ageing and wrinkle relaxing, but in the world of skin-smoothing injectables, it’s far from the only option.

We are all unique, with different skin conditions and needs, so having multiple options for skin treatments is vital.

While you might be dying to rid your face of a few deep lines, it would be wise to take a moment and get to know how neurotoxins and dermal fillers are different exactly.

First things first, one has to read between the lines and know what treatment is best for the various kinds of wrinkles.

Dynamic wrinkles are the ones subjected to movement like crow’s feet around the eyes or your Glabellar lines, which look like the number eleven that worsen if you squint.

This kind of muscle movement can be relaxed or paralysed with a neurotoxin treatment. The idea here is to soften the line without getting that awful frozen-looking expression that we see from so many treatments gone wrong.

For that, the hand that holds the needle is so important.

The highly skilled doctors at Skin Renewal have the proper training in injectables and are thus able to map out your best neurotoxin technique plan and soften your look in one shot.

The other kind of wrinkles come in the form of static lines, often caused by sun damage, smoking, and other factors that devour your natural collagen and elastin production.

To avoid a changing facial silhouette, static lines need to be smoothed out and plumped up with volume.

Enter dermal fillers that lift the skin, even out lines and wrinkles, restore volume loss, and give you a fresher, younger look overall. Common fillers with hyaluronic acid are also particularly suited for fine lines and wrinkles around your mouth.

But static lines aren’t the only skin challenges that dermal fillers can rescue us from. Acne scarring and lip shape can be treated with this injectable therapy, too.

That’s its key difference from neurotoxin and products like Botox™ that help soften lines and wrinkles from muscle contraction; it fills and adds volume.

But really, a combination of neurotoxins and dermal fillers will usually produce the best results across the board.

To fully understand what treatment will help you and your skin reap the most rewards, it’s worth booking a consultation with an expert Skin Renewal medical aesthetic doctor.

They can guide you through the process and help you make an informed decision.
