When it comes to non-surgical facial rejuvenation, **Botox and dermal fillers** are two of the most popular and effective treatments. While they are often mentioned together, Botox and fillers serve very different purposes in anti-aging and facial enhancement. At **Charmed Medispa in Newark, Delaware**, our expert providers help patients understand the differences so they can choose the right treatment for their goals.
What is Botox?
Botox is a neuromodulator—a purified protein that temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles. By softening muscle movement, Botox smooths dynamic wrinkles that form from repeated expressions such as frowning, squinting, or raising your brows.
Common Botox Treatment Areas
* Forehead lines
* Frown lines (between the brows, also called “11s”)
* Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
* Bunny lines (across the nose)
* Jawline slimming and teeth grinding (masseter treatment)
* Neck bands
Botox Brand Names Available in the U.S.
While most people call all wrinkle relaxers “Botox,” there are actually several FDA-approved brands:
* Botox® Cosmetic (the original and most well-known)
* Dysport® (known for a slightly softer, spreadable effect)
* Xeomin® (sometimes called the “naked” neurotoxin because it has no added proteins)
* Jeuveau®*(nicknamed “Newtox,” often popular with younger patients)
* Daxxify™ (a newer option with results that may last longer than traditional Botox)
At Charmed Medispa, we carefully select the right neuromodulator for each patient based on their goals and treatment area. Based on our experience, Dysport has been the best tox with faster results, longer lasting and higher satisfaction.
What are Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial features. Unlike Botox, which relaxes muscles, fillers add structure and support beneath the skin. They are most commonly made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found in the body that attracts and retains moisture.
Common Filler Treatment Areas
* Lips (enhancement or subtle hydration)
* Cheeks (adding lift and contour)
* Under eyes (improving hollowness and dark circles)
* Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
* Marionette lines (lines framing the mouth)
* Jawline and chin (enhancing definition)
* Hands (restoring youthful fullness)
Popular Filler Brands in the U.S.
* Juvederm® Collection (Ultra, Voluma, Volbella, Vollure, Volux)
* Restylane® Collection (Lyft, Kysse, Defyne, Refyne, Contour, Silk)
* RHA® Collection (dynamic fillers designed to move naturally with facial expressions)
* Belotero Balance® (ideal for fine, etched lines)
* Radiesse® (a calcium-based filler that also stimulates collagen)
* Sculptra® Aesthetic (biostimulator that rebuilds collagen for gradual, long-lasting results)
Each filler has unique properties—some are firmer for structure, while others are softer and more flexible for delicate areas.
Botox vs. Fillers: How to Choose
* Choose Botox if… your main concern is dynamic wrinkles caused by facial movement (like crow’s feet or forehead lines).
* Choose Fillers if… you want to restore lost volume, smooth deeper folds, or enhance facial features (like lips, cheeks, or jawline).
* Choose Both if… you want comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Many patients benefit from a customized treatment plan that combines Botox and fillers for natural, balanced results.
