The difference between botox injections and fillers is that fillers paralyze muscles, while botox adds volume to certain parts of the face. Botox can reduce frown lines as well as crow's-feet. But dermal fillers can improve wrinkles, folds or creases around mouth. Make sure you consider your long-term objectives before deciding on which treatment is best.
Dermal fillers add volume to areas of the face
Dermal fillers are able to add volume to certain areas on the face. However, these effects do not last for a long time. Each injection stimulates your natural collagen production and will require three treatments to see the full effects. Semi-permanent dermal fillers may require you to see your cosmetic surgeon again for touch-ups. Temporary solutions for blemishes can be a better option.

Botox, which is often used to treat migraines or excessive sweating, has been approved for use by the FDA around the eyes.

How quickly the injection is metabolized will determine how long it takes. If you are concerned about the effects of Botox, you should talk to your cosmetic physician before going ahead with the treatment.
Botox is less painful than dermal fillers.
