Neurotoxin vs. Dermal Fillers: What’s the Difference?

If you’re frustrated by the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, then there’s good news: There are plenty of effective treatment options out there that can help.

The two most popular anti-wrinkle treatments are, without a doubt, Neurotoxin and dermal filler injections. Here’s why: both treatments tackle the biggest signs of facial aging, like fine lines and stubborn wrinkles. Both deliver almost-immediate results that can last for months at a time.

But when it comes down to it, what are the actual differences between Neurotoxin and dermal fillers? And how do you know which anti-aging injection is right for you?

The 5 Biggest Differences Between Neurotoxin and Dermal Fillers

1. Their formulas contain different ingredients.

Neurotoxin contains botulinum toxin type A, which acts as a temporary blocker between the brain’s signals to the muscle’s nerve endings. By doing so, Neurotoxin helps to relax the injected muscle and create smoother skin just above it. 

Dermal fillers contain various hyaluronic acid (HA) formulas, which add temporary volume to sagging skin and plump up the appearance of facial folds and deep wrinkles.

2. Neurotoxin and dermal fillers treat different facial areas.

Neurotoxin is FDA-approved to treat forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet. Dermal fillers are FDA-approved to add temporary facial volume to areas like the cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, and more.

3. Results can be different.

Neurotoxin results are designed to last for about four months, while dermal filler formulas can create results that last anywhere from six months to two years.

4. Costs vary depending on your desired treatment.

Neurotoxin tends to be slighter cheaper than dermal fillers, but you may need more Neurotoxin injections to achieve your desired results.

5. There are multiple dermal filler treatments.

Neurotoxin is a brand-name for a single treatment, while “dermal filler” is an umbrella term that can be used to describe any anti-aging injectable that contains hyaluronic acid.

Which Treatment is Right for Me?

Neurotoxin is right for you if you want to smooth away the appearance of forehead wrinkles, lines, and crow’s feet. Dermal fillers are a better fit for you if you have moderate facial folds or volume loss around your cheeks, mouth, and under-eye region.
