The difference between botox injections and fillers is that fillers paralyze muscles, while botox adds volume to certain parts of the face. Botox can be used to remove frown lines and crow's feet, while dermal fillers can enhance wrinkles, folds and creases around the mouth. Consider your long-term goals before deciding on the best treatment for you.
Dermal fillers increase volume in areas of the face
Dermal fillers may add volume to some areas of the face but not all at once. Each injection stimulates your natural collagen production and will require three treatments to see the full effects. Dermal fillers can be semi-permanent but you might need to visit your cosmetic surgeon to have any touch-ups. You can avoid this by looking for a temporary solution to your blemishes.

Botox is less painful than dermal fillers.
