Many people tend to be confused about Botox and fillers.
Even on TV, there are many cases where celebrities on talk shows misunderstand Botox and fillers and talk about them incorrectly.
“Botox” is based on the principle of an injection that temporarily paralyzes muscles (for 6 to 8 months).
Therefore, it is used to prevent wrinkles caused by facial expression muscles by paralyzing those muscles, and to make the face look slimmer by partially paralyzing the developed chewing muscles in the lower face.
“Filler,” as the word suggests, is a material used to fill in deficient areas.
In the face, “fillers” or “autologous fat” are used to make sunken areas (the forehead, cheeks, nose, chin, etc.) look fuller and plumper.
Therefore, making the forehead, nasolabial fold area, or lips look plump is not done with Botox but with filler, and it should be noted that Botox and filler are completely different concepts.
