Curious about the differences between Juvederm and Botox? Explore this comprehensive guide to discover which treatment may be right for you.
Understanding Juvederm and Botox
- Juvederm: Juvederm is a dermal filler made of Hyaluronic acid (HA) that adds volume to areas of the face to smooth wrinkles and enhance facial contours.
- Botox: Botox is the brand name for the original Botulinum toxin, a protein derived from the Clostridium botulinum bacteria, that temporarily relaxes facial muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming.
Key Differences
- Treatment Areas: Juvederm is primarily used to treat static wrinkles and add volume to areas like the cheeks and lips, while Botox is typically used for dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement, such as forehead lines and crow’s feet.
- Mechanism of Action: Juvederm works by adding volume to the skin, while Botox temporarily relaxes facial muscles to smooth wrinkles.
- Duration of Results: Juvederm results last up to 1 year, while Botox results last 3-4 months.
