Even with a busy schedule, are you still looking for a quick, safe, and effective way to enhance your natural beauty without looking stiff or unnatural? Join ROHTO AOHAL CLINIC to explore beauty treatments with Fillers and Botox through the article below. We're confident it will provide you with all the information you need to choose the most suitable beauty treatment with confidence.
1. BEAUTY BENEFITS OF FILLERS AND BOTOX
Botox and Fillers are two of the most commonly used substances in skin rejuvenation for decades. However, their mechanisms of action are entirely different.
Fillers, known in Vietnamese as filling substances, are a general term for pharmaceutical agents injected into the skin, subcutaneous tissue, or deeper into the fat layer. Fillers are used to reduce static wrinkles, deep facial creases, or to inject into areas that provide structural support to minimize facial sagging. At ROHTO AOHAL CLINIC, we want to clarify that Fillers are not silicone. Silicone is not a Filler and is a banned substance for use as a filler. Not only can silicone cause facial deformities, but it also poses life-threatening risks.
Currently, fillers on the market can be divided into three groups based on their duration in the body: short-term, medium-term, and permanent. The safest option is short-term fillers, with Hyaluronic Acid (HA) being the most prominent example. However, not all HA fillers are the same.
In addition to filling sunken areas and smoothing wrinkles, HA fillers can also provide moisture to the skin and stimulate collagen production when injected superficially into the skin. Therefore, HA fillers are indicated for cases of aging with loss of fat tissue, sunken facial areas, or deep wrinkles, commonly seen in individuals aged 40 and above. They are also suitable for younger individuals with rough skin, fine wrinkles, or dull complexion.
Botox, or Botulinum, is a pharmaceutical agent that inhibits muscle contractions and is used in various medical conditions involving involuntary muscle spasms, such as muscle twitching or migraines. In aesthetic dermatology, Botox is formulated in very low doses to target small facial muscles, relaxing them to reduce dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet, frown lines, drooping mouth corners, or forehead wrinkles.
After understanding the benefits of Botox and Fillers, when pursuing beauty treatments, discuss with your doctor at the clinic to select products that meet safety standards, are suitable for the area being treated, and work with you to create an appropriate treatment plan.
2. WHAT TO DO IF YOU OVERUSE OR ARE DISSATISFIED WITH THE RESULTS OF BOTOX AND FILLER INJECTIONS?
Overusing Botox and Fillers, like other pharmaceuticals, can lead to unwanted side effects affecting both aesthetics and safety. Therefore, consult the team of doctors at ROHTO AOHAL CLINIC to develop a treatment plan tailored to your face and skin condition, based on a comprehensive aesthetic approach with five key criteria:
Facial balance and symmetry
Degree of sagging and skin elasticity
Static and dynamic wrinkles
From there, the ROHTO AOHAL CLINIC doctor team will provide personalized treatment for your face. Achieving satisfaction with a rejuvenated, refreshed appearance while retaining your unique beauty—without transforming into a completely different face—is entirely achievable with a skin rejuvenation injection treatment.
Regarding HA fillers, they naturally break down in the body over time. The duration depends on the specific product, typically lasting up to 2 years, but it’s generally recommended to get touch-up injections after about a year for longer-lasting results.
If you’re considering re-injecting fillers, keep two things in mind:
Aesthetic satisfaction: Were you pleased with the results of the previous injection? If not, discuss your expectations with the doctor to ensure better results this time.
Safety: Did you experience any unwanted side effects from the previous treatment? Share this with your doctor to prevent complications.
If you’re dissatisfied with the results:
For HA fillers, doctors can inject a dissolving agent to quickly break down the filler.
For Botox, unfortunately, there’s currently no highly effective method to remove it from the body faster. Typically, you’ll need to wait 4–6 months for Botox to fully wear off. However, in specific cases, doctors can address unwanted Botox effects, such as:
Droopy eyelids (caused by the orbicularis oculi muscle): Apraclonidine 0.5% eye drops may be helpful.
Overly arched eyebrows: A low dose of Botox can be injected into the forehead muscle to lower the eyebrow tail.
3. POST-TREATMENT CARE FOR FILLERS AND BOTOX
After injections, most people can resume work and daily activities without needing much downtime. However, post-treatment care is crucial for maintaining healthy skin and achieving optimal results. ROHTO AOHAL CLINIC recommends the following general precautions:
Avoid sun exposure immediately after treatment, as injection sites may develop hyperpigmentation due to UV rays.
Always apply sunscreen when going outdoors during the day to minimize bruising at injection sites.
To reduce the risk of bruising, avoid high-intensity exercise and excessive alcohol consumption for 24 hours post-treatment.
Do not lie down or engage in heavy exercise for 3 hours after treatment. Avoid saunas, hot showers, or sun exposure for 4 hours to prevent excessive blood vessel activity, which reduces the risk of bruising.
Note that a small number of patients may experience mild headaches. Panadol can be used to relieve discomfort.
Rest assured that any swelling or minor marks will typically disappear within a few hours. Bruising is rare, but if it occurs, it’s temporary and can be easily concealed with makeup. Small bruises may last up to a week.
If you’re using aspirin or similar medications, swelling or bruising may persist longer than usual.
Specific care for Botox:
Try to exercise the treated muscles (e.g., frowning, raising eyebrows, or squinting) within the first hour after treatment to help the Botox settle into the muscles. While this is beneficial, forgetting to do so will not negatively impact the results.
After Botox is injected into the targeted muscles, the weakening effect begins gradually within 24 hours to 3–5 days and fully takes effect after two weeks. Therefore, optimal results won’t be visible for at least two weeks.
The anti-aging process is temporary, and initially, results typically last around 3 to 6 months.
Specific care for HA Fillers:
Do not rub or massage the treated facial area for 24 hours post-treatment.
Avoid vigorous massage of the treated area during the treatment period, as it may affect the results.
The anti-aging process is temporary, with results lasting 9 to 12 months (e.g., with Restylane) or 18 to 24 months (e.g., with Juvederm).
