Although Botox and fillers like Juvederm can be confused, the two treatments offer very different results. We have listed characteristics of Botox and fillers below but consulting with a physician at Mint Julep Medical Spa can ensure that you will be using the treatment that will achieve the best results.

Botox

1. Useful where over-activity of the muscles causes wrinkles
2. Commonly used at the forehead, around the eyes or mouth.
3. Weakens the treated muscles so that contractions will are restricted and the wrinkle will smooth out
4. Full effects are reached within a week after the injection and last four to six months.

Juvederm

1. Smoothes away wrinkles and restores natural contours.
2. Used around the mouth and nose to erase smile lines, marionette lines and vertical lines.
3. Juvederm is a safe and effective way to replace the hyaluronic acid (HA) your skin has lost due to age and sunlight exposure.
4. Juvederm lasts up to one year with only treatment.
