Anti-wrinkle treatments with Dr. Daniel Lafond
What is the difference between neuromodulators and dermal fillers?
Neuromodulators, such as botulinum toxin, work by relaxing the muscles responsible for expression lines, primarily on the upper part of the face, such as forehead wrinkles, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow’s feet. They last an average of 3 to 6 months. Dermal fillers, often with a hyaluronic acid base, are designed to increase tissue volumes and have a lifting effect, generally used to treat dark circles, cheeks, and the lower face. They last on average 8 to 24 months.
What are realistic expectations for results from neuromodulators and dermal fillers?
Realistic expectations of results depend on individual goals and can be discussed during the consultation with an aesthetic physician. In most cases, natural and satisfactory results can be achieved. It is important to speak with a professional to understand the options available and their implications.
