Orange County Plastic Surgeon on BOTOX® Cosmetic vs. Dermal Fillers

Daniel Mills, MD, FACS, a plastic surgeon in Orange County, compares the potential benefits of BOTOX® Cosmetic and dermal fillers like JUVÉDERM® and Restylane®.

LAGUNA BEACH, CA, UNITED STATES, December 19, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As an experienced Orange County plastic surgeon, Daniel Mills, MD, FACS has used cosmetic injectables to help countless patients achieve a more youthful aesthetic. These non-surgical treatments, says Dr. Mills, are available in several varieties and can address a wide range of cosmetic concerns. He explains that because so many types of injectables exist, it is important for patients to be aware of their differences before choosing an option.

Firstly, Dr. Mills states, patients should know that cosmetic injectables are generally divided into two categories: those designed to treat dynamic wrinkles and those that can target static wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles are formed by repetitive facial movements, such as squinting and frowning. Common examples include crow’s feet, forehead creases, and glabellar lines (or “frown lines”). According to Dr. Mills, BOTOX^® Cosmetic can significantly reduce the severity of these wrinkles by temporarily relaxing overactive muscles, creating a smoother and more “relaxed” appearance. Additionally, Dr. Mills offers the neuromodulator DAXXIFY™, which is similar in composition to BOTOX^® Cosmetic; however, in his experience, DAXXIFY™ generally has a quicker onset time (usually two to three days) and tends to last longer than BOTOX^® Cosmetic (approximately four months).

Meanwhile, static wrinkles are the result of the natural aging process, loss of skin elasticity, and collagen and elastin depletion. Dr. Mills most often treats static wrinkles with dermal fillers, which use substances like hyaluronic acid (HA) to restore lost volume in the face, enhance lip fullness, and counteract sagging skin or jowls.

Dr. Mills notes that in addition to the dermal fillers Restylane^® and JUVÉDERM^®, he offers the popular Revance^® RHA^® Collection. These products are uniquely formulated to adapt to facial movements, Dr. Mills explains, which makes them particularly effective for moderate to severe dynamic wrinkles around the mouth or eyes.

Moreover, Dr. Mills advises individuals considering non-surgical facial rejuvenation to consult with a qualified provider. He underscores that an experienced plastic surgeon can guide patients in selecting the most suitable treatment, whether that involves BOTOX^® Cosmetic, dermal fillers, or other options tailored to their unique needs.
