Dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle injections are two types of treatments that both require injections but can also be used in conjunction with each other. It’s important to understand the difference between the two and what they are made out of and how they work within your skin and, what results they will achieve. Read more below for the breakdown between the two to help make you choose which would be suited for you.
What are they both made from?
The differences begin with what both are made out of which actually influence how they both work within your body. Both treatments are different and have different uses, as anti-wrinkle injections use a medically regulated toxin in liquid form that can only be administered under prescription and dermal fillers are a gel-like injectable.
What do they both do?
The two treatments also function differently within your skin and body, so they have very different treatment focuses. Dermal fillers are used within the soft tissue of the skin to add volume, contour and structure. They are then placed within the tissue, whereas anti-wrinkle injections are injected into the muscles of the treatment area. This is because dermal fillers are used to plump the skin’s tissue in areas such as the cheeks, lips, tear troughs, and add structure to the jawline.
Anti-wrinkle injections, on the other hand, stop muscles from contracting as aggressively, which means they take away a little of your ability to frown as animatedly and therefore help to prevent the wrinkles in the skin appearing. But rest assured, your face won’t be ‘frozen’ or hard to move as we place the injections with the upmost precision and care.
Who performs these treatments?
Anti-wrinkle treatments are only accessible through prescription, so you should only seek out these treatments from a registered medical professional or qualified independent prescriber. They should not be performed at events such as injectable ‘parties’ that have recently been popular, because the type of environment is not safe and regulated.
Even though dermal fillers can be technically performed by anyone this does not mean they should be done by just anyone! You should always visit a qualified medical professional who is certified to provide aesthetic injectable treatments ensuring high quality and with the correct certification for your own safety.
