Botox & Dermal Fillers: Facts, Myths & What to Know

7 December 20256 min read

[{"type":"paragraph","text":"Botox and dermal fillers are two of the most sought-after non-surgical cosmetic treatments in the world. Botox (botulinum toxin) works by temporarily relaxing facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles like frown lines, forehead lines, and crow's feet. Results last 3-6 months. Dermal fillers (hyaluronic acid-based) add volume to areas like nasolabial folds, lips, cheeks, and under-eyes. Common myths include \"Botox freezes your face\" and \"fillers are permanent\" — both are false when performed by trained dermatologists. At DermcareMD, Dr. Neha Athalye performs these procedures with precision for natural-looking, subtle results."}]
