Wangsimni Dermatology: What Are the Effects and Differences Between Fillers & Botox for Wrinkles and Contour?

Fillers & Botox

It seems like skin concerns become even greater in winter! The skin becomes dry in the cold wind, and the face can look especially dull~ Also, because the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors is large, skin elasticity may decline, making wrinkles around the eyes and mouth stand out more! At times like this, one of the 대표적인 ways to add natural volume and elasticity is fillers and Botox. Since they improve facial wrinkles and refine contours in different ways, they continue to be consistently preferred.

Fillers & Botox

Belotero Filler

Fillers play the role of adding volume beneath the skin, and among them, hyaluronic acid fillers are made based on a substance naturally found in the human body, so you can expect safe and natural-looking results. There are many filler lineups available, but Belotero filler is especially well known! It is a hyaluronic acid filler developed by MERZ, and it smooths wrinkles without making the volume appear overly full, allowing for a natural-looking change.

It has also received FDA approval, proving its safety, and another strength is that it offers four lineups for customized improvement by area. You can choose a firmer type for areas that need volume and a softer type for thin, delicate wrinkle-prone areas, allowing for precise adjustment!

Belotero Benefits

For those considering fillers, the important points are likely volume enhancement and how long the effect lasts. Belotero immediately delivers a strong volumizing effect upon injection while also blending into the skin more naturally than conventional fillers. Since MERZ’s patented technology is applied, it has excellent viscoelasticity and cohesiveness, allowing it to spread naturally with facial movement while keeping its shape from changing easily.

Another benefit is that the hyaluronic acid is evenly distributed, so the border is not very noticeable, meaning it does not look obviously like you had filler! It is designed to maintain volume for a longer period than conventional fillers, and because it contains lidocaine, pain is reduced, so it can be recommended to those considering filler for the first time:)

• Immediate volume and wrinkle-improving effect upon injection

• High viscoelasticity and cohesiveness with patented technology

• Longer-lasting durability than conventional fillers

• Includes lidocaine to minimize pain

What Is Botox

If fillers fill in volume, Botox works by controlling muscle movement to soften wrinkles. The key ingredient in Botox is botulinum toxin, which temporarily blocks neurotransmitters in the muscles, reducing expression lines and decreasing the development of certain muscles.

Wrinkles formed by frequently frowning between the eyebrows or fine lines around the eyes can deepen over time, but by suppressing excessive muscle contraction with Botox, you can naturally create a softer impression~ In addition to wrinkles, if the jaw muscles are developed and make the face look wider, reducing the muscle can also help create a slimmer contour. In this way, it is a treatment that can be used for various purposes, from wrinkle improvement to contour enhancement.

Raon Botox Types

Botox also differs depending on the brand and product~ First, Liztox is a domestically produced Botox optimized for the muscle characteristics of Koreans. Its effectiveness and safety have been proven, making it highly trusted, and it can be recommended for those who want natural wrinkle improvement. Coretox is also a domestic product, and its defining feature is that it refines botulinum toxin to minimize resistance! It can be considered for long-term improvement by lowering the possibility of resistance development!

The best-known Botox product is Xeomin. It is an imported Botox developed by MERZ, and like Coretox, its defining feature is the removal of unnecessary complex protein components. Thanks to this, it continues to provide consistent effects even with repeated injections and allows for a longer duration of maintenance.

Filler vs Botox Synergy

Fillers and Botox work on different principles, but because they complement each other, using them together can produce even more definite results. Since our skin concerns do not arise from a single cause, an approach from multiple angles is needed~ In cases such as deep forehead wrinkles or neck wrinkles, Botox alone may not fully solve the issue, but when used together with filler, the wrinkles are filled in and a smoother improvement effect can be achieved. It can be said that this creates a natural effect tailored to each person’s facial shape and concerns:)

<Combined Filler and Botox Improvement>

• Using filler and Botox together, each with different principles and effects

• Customized improvement possible through complementary effects

• More effective for deep forehead wrinkles and neck wrinkles
