Two of the most frequently preferred methods in aesthetic and dermatological applications are botox and filler applications. These procedures are used to reduce the signs of aging, shape facial features and provide a more youthful appearance on the skin. However, botox and filler serve different needs. So, which one is more suitable for you?

• Interglacial Lines (11 Lines): Corrects the lines between the eyebrows that cause a hard and tired expression.
• Sweating Treatment: Used in excessive sweating complaints (especially in the armpit).

Who is it Suitable for?

• People with pronounced mimic wrinkles.
• Healthy individuals between the ages of 18-65.
• People who want to prevent wrinkles but avoid more invasive procedures.

• Nasolabial Lines: Lightens deep lines extending from the edge of the nose to the corners of the mouth.
