A few units of Botox are placed along the upper lip to relax the orbicularis oris muscle. The lip rolls slightly outward, creating the appearance of more volume without adding filler. Results typically last 6–8 weeks.

It depends on the area and muscle strength. As a general guide: forehead lines typically require 10–30 units, frown lines 10–25 units, and crow's feet 5–15 units per side. Your provider will recommend the right amount during consultation.

Botox typically lasts 3–4 months. Dermal fillers vary by product and placement area but generally last 6–18 months. Individual results depend on metabolism, muscle activity, and the specific product used.

Botox relaxes muscles to reduce lines caused by movement — forehead creases, frown lines, crow's feet. Filler adds volume to areas that have lost it — cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds. They address different concerns and are often used together.
