At the Polacek Center for Plastic Surgery in Providence, RI, we offer personalized, non-surgical solutions to help you achieve a refreshed and youthful appearance. Two of the most popular treatments we provide are BOTOX® Cosmetic and the JUVÉDERM® line of dermal fillers. While both can enhance your appearance and address common signs of aging, they work in very different ways.
BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® Cosmetic is an FDA-approved injectable that minimizes the appearance of wrinkles caused by repeated facial movements, such as crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead lines. By temporarily relaxing specific muscles and limiting repetitive movements, BOTOX® Cosmetic creates a smoother, more rejuvenated appearance. Results typically last about 3–4 months and can be maintained with regular follow-ups.
JUVÉDERM® Dermal Fillers
JUVÉDERM® is a trusted family of FDA-approved fillers designed to restore lost volume and enhance facial contours. Made with hyaluronic acid, these fillers are used to smooth lines around the nose and mouth, plump lips, and rejuvenate areas like the cheeks. Depending on the specific product, results can last between 6 months and 2 years.
Which Treatment Is Right for You?
The best choice depends on your individual goals. If you’re looking to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles around highly mobile regions of the face, BOTOX® Cosmetic is a great option. For adding volume or enhancing facial contours, JUVÉDERM® may be the better fit. Often, combining both treatments delivers the most comprehensive results. During a consultation, one of our experienced providers can assess your goals and make personalized recommendations.
