Anti-Wrinkle Injections vs Dermal Fillers — What's the Difference?

Anti-wrinkle injections relax muscles to soften expression lines (forehead, frown, crow's feet). Dermal fillers add volume to rebuild structure and smooth static lines (cheeks, jawline, tear troughs, lips, nasolabial folds).

What each one treats

• Anti-wrinkle injections: forehead, frown ("11s"), crow's feet, bunny lines, gummy smile, jaw-slimming.
• Dermal fillers: cheeks, jawline, chin, tear troughs, lips, nose-to-mouth folds.
