Satisfy Some of your Curiosities

Question 1

What Is The Difference Between Botox® And Dermal Fillers?

Answer

Though both treatments work to smooth wrinkles and lines, Botox® and dermal fillers go about their jobs differently. Dermal fillers, which are made of a hyaluronic acid gel, are used to plump wrinkles, folds, and facial features that have lost volume due to aging. Botox®, on the other hand, involves injecting purified botulinum toxin into facial muscles to prevent them from being able to contract. When a muscle can’t contract, it can’t pull on the overlying skin and cause wrinkles. Botox® helps wrinkles to relax and soften.

Question 2

Will I Look Like I’ve Had Work Done?

Answer

That depends on how aggressive you want your treatment to be. Dr. Caron can create a dramatic rejuvenation or a subtle enhancement to your natural appearance, whereby your friends and family will comment on how refreshed and relaxed you look. The choice is yours!

Question 3

Do Botox® And Dermal Filler Treatments Hurt?

Answer

Dr. Caron does her very best to make your treatment as comfortable as possible. Most patients report that Botox® and dermal filler treatments feel like a pinch. If your pain threshold is low, a numbing cream applied to the treatment area before your procedure can alleviate needle stick pain. Almost all dermal fillers, like Teosyal Ultradeep contain lidocaine within the injection to help minimize discomfort.

Question 4

Is There Any Downtime Following A Botox® Or Dermal Filler Treatment?

Answer

Botox® has zero downtime and patients can resume their normal activities immediately following treatment. Depending on the area treated, dermal fillers may cause some mild bruising or swelling. These symptoms typically resolve in a week or less.

Question 5

When Will I See Results?

Answer

With Botox®, most patients start to notice a difference in their appearance within 24 to 48 hours with results lasting up to four months.
