Botox vs Juvederm

When you’re young, you always want to try and look younger; but when you get older, you want to look younger. Although there is no way to go back in time, but there is a way to look younger. Botox and Juvederm are two products that can help you look years younger. Here is the difference between the two products.
The main difference between Botox and Juvederm is in the injections' solutions themselves. Juvederm is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Your healthcare professional eases Juvederm injectable gel under the skin to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your “smile lines” or “parentheses.” However, Botox is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those frown lines between the brows to form over time. This injection is also known as a neuromuscular blocking toxin, which eliminates the appearance of wrinkles by blocking the chemical that triggers muscle responses, acetylcholine. This creates a temporary paralysis of muscles at the injection site, thus smoothing skin in the forehead and around the eyes for a younger appearance.
Botox and Juvederm are both used to rejuvenate the appearance of aging skin; however, Juvederm and other dermal fillers can also be used for lip augmentation and to correct fat loss in the face, but Botox is strictly a wrinkle treatment. Botox injections can also be used to treat an assortment of medical conditions like migraine headaches and excessive sweating. Juvederm injections is only used for cosmetic enhancement.
Both Botox and Juvederm has been FDA approved to treat wrinkles. Juvederm provides long-term effectiveness, which can last anywhere from 6-12 months. The cost of Juvederm injections tend to average more per treatment than Botox injections do. Botox on the other hand, can last up to 4 months.
