What are Botox and fillers?

Botox and fillers are injectables that help combat common signs of aging, including:

• Wrinkles
• Fine lines
• Crow’s feet
• Thin lips
• Sagging skin
• Hollows
• Irregular facial symmetry

Botox is a refined type of botulinum toxin. In small quantities, Botox prevents your facial nerves from signaling to the muscles that form lines and wrinkles. Used correctly, Botox smooths facial lines without causing unnatural rigidity.

Dermal fillers contain substances like hyaluronic acid, a natural lubricant found throughout the body. Fillers add volume to smooth the skin and improve facial contours.

How do Botox and fillers compare to cosmetic surgery?

Botox and fillers are excellent options for anyone not ready to commit to cosmetic surgery or who does not want to undergo surgery. You can achieve excellent results with minimal discomfort and no downtime. However, injectables aren’t permanent. You need to repeat Botox every 3-4 months, while fillers can last from six months to several years.

Cosmetic surgery offers a more long-lasting solution. Dr. Jaiswal can also make more dramatic changes to your face. The advantage of choosing him for your aesthetic treatment is that he offers both Botox and fillers and facelifts. He spends time with you ensuring that you select the treatments best suited to your needs.

What happens when I have Botox and filler treatments?

Before you begin treatment, Dr. Jaiswal ensures you’re a good candidate. You may not be able to undergo Botox and fillers if you have damaged skin, and procedures are inadvisable during pregnancy. Having realistic expectations of what Botox and fillers can achieve is also important.

The needles used in Botox and filler injections are very fine and cause minimal discomfort, but if you prefer, Dr. Jaiswal can give you numbing cream to apply beforehand. He marks the points on your face where the Botox and/or fillers need to go and proceeds with the injections.

He may massage fillers after injecting them to ensure they follow the exact contours required and look completely natural. Fillers usually have an instant effect, but Botox results might take a few days to appear. 

To maintain Botox and filler treatment results, you need to see Dr. Jaiswal at the recommended intervals. If you stop treatment, your face will likely gradually revert to how it looked before.
