What Botox does

Botox temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for expression lines — think forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet. It doesn't add volume; it softens the movement that creates those lines in the first place.

What fillers do

Fillers add volume. They're used to restore fullness in areas like the cheeks or lips, soften static lines that are visible even at rest (like nasolabial folds), and add definition to areas like the jawline or chin.
