Botox and dermal fillers are cosmetic treatments administered through injections, usually in a doctor's office. They are minimally invasive, meaning they do not involve surgery. However, that's where their similarities end.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), treatments with Botox and dermal fillers are widespread and over 9 million procedures were performed in 2015.

Botox contains purified bacteria that freeze muscles. In doing so, Botox can help minimize the appearance of lines and wrinkles caused by facial expressions.

Dermal fillers contain ingredients that add fullness to areas that have thinned due to aging. This thinning is common in the cheeks, lips, and around the mouth.
