There are a lot of anti-aging injections out there – and you’re ready to try them out. 

But when it comes down to it, how do you know if Botox or Juvederm is best for you? And what are the differences between the two?

It Depends on Your Goals

While it may be tempting to compare these two anti-aging injections against one another, the truth is that it’s a little like comparing apples and oranges. That’s because, even though the injections aim to make you look younger, they do it through very different methods.

Before examining which one is right for you, let’s take a closer look at how they work:

  • Botox: This OG of anti-aging injections uses a potent neurotoxin to interrupt the nerve signaling between the brain and the muscles at the injection site. When injected into the forehead or near crow’s feet, this treatment effectively “paralyzes” the muscles, creating a smoother and younger-looking appearance. Botox results last about three months, making it a great short-term solution for forehead wrinkles and crow’s feet.
  • Juvederm: This innovative injection uses the power of hyaluronic acid to add volume at the treatment site. The dermal filler acts as scaffolding underneath the skin, helping to lift up areas that may have been impacted by facial volume loss. The overall effect is a naturally youthful appearance with minimized wrinkles and lines.

So now that you know about the differences between the two injections, how do you know which treatment is right for you?

How to Pick the Right Injection for You

The right injection may largely be determined by the aging symptoms you want to treat. For example, if you’re bothered by the appearance of wrinkles on your forehead and around your eyes, Botox may be the best option for you. As another example, if you’re concerned about facial volume loss (especially around your cheeks, nose, and mouth), then Juvederm injections may be the right choice for you. Many people also opt for both Botox and Juvederm treatments since each treatment targets different specific areas of the face.

I had a wonderful experience at Dr. Greenberg’s office. I had Botox and fillers. The office staff was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Dr. Greenberg made feel very comfortable and the results were great! I would recommend this office to everyone.
