How do fillers and Botox work?
Botox (otherwise known as Botulinum Toxin Type A) is a neurotoxin that is injected into the muscles to prevent the messages between the transmitters and motor nerves. When the motor nerves are interrupted, muscles cannot contract.
Dermal fillers on the other hand, are made up of a naturally-occurring substance in the body known hyaluronic acid. When the ageing process occurs, the levels of hyaluronic acid in your skin are reduced, which is when wrinkles occur and the volume in your features is decreased.
How long to results last?
Effects last for around 4 months and it can take up to 14 days to see the full results. If patients choose to undergo repeated treatments in a single year, the results of the treatment can last up for 6 months, as the foundations are laid for future treatment.
