Botox vs. Filler

There's a large misunderstanding about the use of Botox vs. filler. The biggest fear people have is "looking like they do in Hollywood."

Most important:

1. Go to a provider that has a vision for a natural look and understanding of the aesthetics a face should have.

2. Botox to me is prevention - Botox softens your muscle movement to minimize the lines (wrinkles) being created by muscle movement. If the muscle cannot move, no wrinkle can form- therefore, it cannot become permanent.

3. Filler is to replace what has been lost. We are not wanting to make anyone look like a specific celebrity or person. The human face ages and over the years we have learned the aging process and we want to bring back the fullness in areas that have given way to gravity. Also, filler may be used in certain areas to help fill in wrinkles that have been created.

I was taught early on in my trainings, "It's not vanity to want to look like your best self!"
