Comparison

Botox in Belgrano vs Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

Understand the difference between Botox and hyaluronic acid fillers — what each one treats, how long results last, and when it makes sense to combine both for a natural, balanced outcome.

Aspect
Botox in Belgrano
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
What does it mainly treat?
Dynamic wrinkles caused by facial movement: forehead lines, the glabella (between the brows), and crow's feet.
Volume loss, definition, and structural support in the lips, cheeks, under-eye area, nasolabial folds, and chin.
How it works
Temporarily relaxes muscle contractions so the skin doesn't crease as deeply with repeated movement.
Adds support, hydration, and structure to areas that have lost volume or lost their shape over time.
How long results last
Roughly 4 to 6 months, depending on the area treated, the dose, and how expressive your face naturally is.
Anywhere from 9 to 18 months, depending on the area, the specific product used, and how quickly your body metabolizes it.
What to expect
A more rested appearance with softened expression lines.
Better definition, improved support, and smoother transitions between facial structures.
What it doesn't do
It won't restore lost volume or project facial structures.
It won't block muscle movement or fix dynamic wrinkles on its own.

Medical team recommendation

In most cases, the real question isn't choosing one over the other — it's understanding which problem is driving the concern. If the main issue is wrinkles that show up when you make expressions, Botox is usually the right first step. If you're dealing with volume loss, hollowing, or a lack of definition, hyaluronic acid fillers tend to make more sense. In a lot of treatment plans, we end up using both.
