What is Botox and how does it work?
Botox, short for botulinum toxin, is a neurotoxin that temporarily paralyzes muscles, reducing wrinkles and fine lines. It works by blocking nerve signals in the muscles, preventing them from contracting and causing wrinkles.

Are there any potential side effects or risks associated with dermal filler injections?
Dermal fillers are generally safe, but there are potential side effects and risks to be aware of. Common side effects are usually mild and include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. However, there are more rare and serious risks, such as infection, allergic reactions, vascular occlusions, migration or the formation of nodules. Monitoring and following post-procedure care instructions can also contribute to a smoother recovery process and reduce the likelihood of complications.
