Botulinum toxin temporarily reduces muscle contraction, whereas fillers add volume and contour in selected areas. Expression lines and volume loss therefore call for different approaches.
Onset and duration vary by product, area and person. Bruising, asymmetry and other complications are possible. Filler entering a blood vessel can cause tissue injury and vision loss. Severe pain, blanching skin or visual changes after treatment require emergency assessment.
Bring your medicine and allergy list and previous results. Your history determines which tests are needed; there is no universal extensive test package. Preparation and medicine changes should follow specific instructions from the clinic.
Do not wait for a routine appointment if you have sudden hearing loss, breathing difficulty, new neurological symptoms or heavy bleeding; seek urgent assessment.
This information does not replace an individual consultation. Diagnosis and treatment depend on a medical assessment.
