Fillers vs. Toxins: Understanding Your Options for a Refreshed Look at Awaken Wellness NC

At Awaken Wellness NC, located in the heart of Fayetteville, NC, we are passionate about helping you achieve your aesthetic goals with natural, beautiful results. Two of our most sought-after treatments are dermal fillers and neurotoxins (like Botox). If you’re unsure which option is right for you, this guide explains the differences, benefits, and what to expect during your visit to Awaken Wellness NC.

Dermal Fillers: Replenishing Lost Volume

Dermal fillers are designed to combat the visible signs of aging by addressing volume loss and wrinkles. As we age, collagen and hyaluronic acid levels in the skin naturally decrease, leading to sagging and fine lines. Fillers, made from substances like hyaluronic acid, are injected beneath the skin to:

• Smooth wrinkles and folds: Target common areas like smile lines, marionette lines, and the "parentheses" around your mouth.
• Restore volume: Add fullness to cheeks, lips, and temples for a more youthful look.
• Enhance facial contours: Define your jawline, smooth the chin, and create a balanced profile.
• Hydrate the skin: Hyaluronic acid fillers help retain moisture, giving your skin a refreshed and dewy appearance.

• Lip Fillers: Plump and define your lips for a fuller, more sculpted look.
• Cheek Fillers: Add volume to cheeks, lifting and rejuvenating your facial appearance.
• Nasolabial Folds: Smooth out lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth.
• Marionette Lines: Reduce wrinkles from the corners of the mouth to the chin.
• Under-Eye Fillers: Brighten and fill hollow areas under the eyes.
• Temple Fillers: Restore volume to hollow temples and achieve a balanced facial structure.
• Chin Augmentation: Enhance the shape and definition of your chin.

Neurotoxins: Relaxing Wrinkles

Neurotoxins like Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin work differently from fillers. They target the muscles beneath the skin, temporarily reducing movement that causes wrinkles. Benefits include:

• Smoothing dynamic wrinkles: Address frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles caused by facial expressions.
• Preventing new wrinkles: By limiting muscle movement, neurotoxins can help prevent deeper wrinkles from forming over time.
• Relaxed, refreshed appearance: Achieve a smoother and more youthful look.
