Furthermore, both Botox and Dermal Fillers have different benefits even if they somehow share the same results in reversing skin aging and making the skin look young and brilliant.
Botox
Botox has been around for decades already and it is one of the most famous treatments when it comes to reversing signs of aging.

And if that isn’t enough, the results of Botox are immediate as it only takes about 3-4 days for the results to take effect.

On top of that, Botox is relatively cheap and inexpensive which means that the treatment can be availed again and again!
Dermal Fillers

However, Dermal Fillers finds its success in being broader as it utilizes different products and covers more applications. While Dermal Fillers can address wrinkles and fine lines like Botox, Dermal Fillers are also geared towards problems in the cheeks, lips, mouth and under the eyes.
