Botox vs. Fillers — They're Different Things

distinct treatments for different concerns:

| Best for |

Cheek hollows, nasolabial folds, lips, under-eyes |
| Duration |
4–6 months |
8–18 months (depends on product) |
| Procedure time |
15–20 minutes |
20–40 minutes |

FAQ
At what age should I start Botox?
There's no fixed age. If dynamic wrinkles (lines that appear with expression) bother you, Botox can help.
Preventive Botox in your late 20s–early 30s can delay deeper wrinkle formation. We assess individually — not
everyone needs it.
Is it painful?
Botox uses very fine needles — most describe it as a slight pinch. Fillers may cause mild discomfort, managed
with numbing cream applied beforehand.
