Assessment can be based on the following observations:
• If your wrinkles appear only when you are frowning, smiling, laughing, blinking or squinting, Botox or Dysport treatments are recommended.
• If the wrinkles, grooves, folds or loss of volume are present even when your face is at rest and without making any expressions, then fillers are the best treatment to smooth out these areas.
• If wrinkles are present at rest, and facial expressions make the wrinkles more prominent or worse, a combination of Botox or Dysport and fillers is recommended.
Many patients receiving dermal filler treatments to smooth deep frown lines or crow’s feet are advised to add Botox or Dysport to the area to relax the muscles and keep the filler lasting longer.
Fillers are also used to enhance lips, bring back lost cheek volume (volume lifts), chin volume and smooth jowl areas.
I hope this explanation helps!
