If you’ve been considering injectables but aren’t sure where to begin, Vyvo Therapeutics is here to support you. Many clients wonder if Botox or fillers are best for their needs and aesthetic goals. While both are injectable treatments used to enhance your appearance, they serve very different purposes and understanding the difference is key to choosing the right option for your goals.
At our aesthetic center in Midland, our providers specialize in both neuromodulators like Botox and dermal fillers such as Restylane and RHA, offering customized plans for clients who want to look refreshed, natural, and confident. Here’s how each treatment works, and how to know which one might be best for you.
What Botox Does Best
Botox is a neuromodulator, meaning it temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles. It’s most commonly used to treat dynamic wrinkles. These are lines that form from repeated expressions like frowning, smiling, or raising your eyebrows.
Botox is ideal for softening or preventing:
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines (the “11s” between your brows)
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Bunny lines on the nose
- Lip lines and chin dimpling
- Mild brow lifting or jawline slimming (in some cases)
By relaxing the muscles responsible for these movements, Botox creates smoother skin and a more rested appearance. Results typically begin to show within a few days and last around three to four months.
This treatment is especially popular among West Texas professionals who want subtle improvements without downtime or major changes to their facial expression. Botox allows you to continue looking like yourself, just a little more relaxed and refreshed.
What Dermal Fillers Are Designed For
While Botox works by calming muscle movement, dermal fillers restore lost volume, smooth static wrinkles, and enhance facial contour. At Vyvo Therapeutics, we offer both the Restylane and RHA collections: two leading families of hyaluronic acid-based fillers designed for different areas of the face.
Restylane Fillers
Restylane is known for its versatility and reliability. Different products within the Restylane line are designed for:
- Cheek enhancement and lift
- Under-eye hollows
- Nasolabial folds and marionette lines
- Lip volume and definition
- Chin and jawline contouring
Restylane products vary in thickness and flexibility, making it possible to match the right filler to each area of the face.
RHA Collection
RHA (Resilient Hyaluronic Acid) fillers are newer to the market and designed to move with the face. They’re ideal for clients who want smooth, natural results even during facial movement, such as talking, laughing, or frowning.
RHA fillers are commonly used for:
- Moderate to severe facial folds
- Deep laugh lines
- Dynamic areas that require flexibility
Results from fillers are immediate and typically last from 6 to 18 months, depending on the product used and the treatment area.
Botox vs. Fillers: How to Decide
While Botox and fillers are often used together, your provider may recommend one over the other based on the results you want to achieve.
Choose Botox if you want to:
- Soften forehead lines or crow’s feet
- Prevent deeper lines from forming
- Refresh your look without changing your facial structure
- Maintain a youthful, smooth appearance with minimal downtime
Choose fillers if you want to:
- Restore volume in the cheeks, lips, or under-eyes
- Improve facial contours
- Soften deep folds around the mouth or nose
- Create balance or symmetry in your facial features
In many cases, a combination of both Botox and dermal fillers can offer the most balanced, harmonious results. Based on your aesthetic goals, this may be recommended after a personalized consultation.
Expertise Makes the Difference
Injectables are highly technique-sensitive. The best outcomes depend not just on the product, but on the skill and experience of the provider administering it. At Vyvo Therapeutics, we take a thoughtful, conservative approach to aesthetics, focused on natural results, long-term balance, and individualized care.
Clients from across Midland and the surrounding West Texas region trust our team to enhance their features without overcorrection for a refined appearance and tasteful results.
