Botox vs Dermal fillers: which is right for you?

Botox relaxes the muscles that crease skin; fillers restore lost volume. They solve different problems and are often combined.

How Botox works

Botulinum toxin temporarily blocks the nerve signal to specific muscles, softening dynamic lines — forehead rows, frown lines, crow's feet. Results appear in 3–7 days and last 3–4 months.

How Dermal fillers works

Hyaluronic-acid fillers physically replace volume: cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, jawline. Results are immediate and last 6–18 months depending on the product and area; most are dissolvable if you change your mind.

Which to choose

Movement lines → Botox. Deflation, folds or contour → filler. A skilled practitioner will often propose a small amount of each rather than a large amount of either.

Prices abroad

Accredited clinics abroad typically price both options 50–70% below Western European and UK rates, all-inclusive. Compare written quotes for both on GetClinic and discuss suitability in a free video consultation before booking either.
