What is the difference between neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport, Nuceiva) and fillers (Juvederm, Teosyal, etc.)?
Neuromodulators, such as Botox, Dysport and Nuceiva, relax the muscles responsible for expression lines (forehead, crow’s feet, frown lines). Hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Juvederm and Teosyal, restore facial volume, deeply hydrate the skin and smooth out static wrinkles.
