When it comes to facial fillers, there are a variety of options available to help reduce the signs of aging. Botox and Restylane Lyft are two of the most popular injectables used to treat wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging. But which one lasts longer?In a 2003 study, 80 percent of subjects who received Botox injections for frown lines said lines continued to shrink to mild or no lines after 30 days. Botox can last around 3 to 6 months.
The solution in Botox and other brands like Myobloc is a very, very dilute form of botulinum and the formula itself is, honestly, the last thing you need to worry about. Botox will start working between 2 and 10 days, depending on your individual reaction to the toxin and the toxin being used. Different JUVÉDERM formulas are used for the lip area and tend to work particularly well around the eyes to eliminate bags or smooth out surrounding wrinkles. JUVÉDERM results can last between 1 and 2 years.
Restylane
is used to treat the same areas of the face as JUVÉDERM.However, it tends to work well for filling in creases or lines around the nose, cheeks, and eyes. Restylane fillers typically last 6 to 18 months, depending on the target area. Some dermal fillers have been studied to last close to two years. The three fillers that tend to last the longest are Restylane Lyft, Restylane Defyne, Restylane Refyne, Juvederm, Voluma, Radiesse and Sculptra. Hyaluronic acid fillers, which come in a variety of thicknesses so you can choose the right one for each particular skin type, last 5 to 24 months. The most likely side effects of Botox or filler are bruising and pain at the injection site, just like any injection, not exactly a toxic reaction.
If you experience something like dry eyes, a crooked smile, drooling, or drooping eyelid, this is not normal. Dara Liotta states that under no circumstances are there any problems seeing, speaking or breathing reasonable reactions to Botox. If you experience any of these symptoms, you should contact your gasket-certified injector immediately. For women and men in the Jacksonville, FL area, finding a qualified injector in a top-tier facility such as Contoura Facial Plastic Surgery is the first step in choosing the right combination of injectables for optimal results.

Fillers tend to last longer than BOTOX in most cases but a filler may or may not give you the long-lasting results you would want for your forehead lines.
Lines can be smoothed with fillers but in most cases BOTOX is a superior option for forehead lines. Restylane Lyft typically requires a longer appointment than Botox with a recovery time of one day or less. Unlike Botox injections which have visible results in just a few days Restylane Lyft results are fully visible within a week or two after treatment and they can also last up to 12 months. That said fillers (including Juvéderm) last longer than Botox. Filling results are visible from nine months to two years while Botox usually lasts three to four months. The combined efforts of dermal fillers and BOTOX with a liquid facelift can provide effective and outstanding results even if they are temporary. Juvederm and Restylane are currently the most durable and long-lasting dermal fillers on the market.
