Hello, PRP does NOTHING for “filling” an area. It lasts a few days. It only helps with slight rejuvenation of the skin in conjunction with other procedures. Fillers such as Juvéderm do filling. It’s in the name. However, I’m very perplexed you mentioned your cosmetologist. Cosmetologists are NOT allowed to perform any of these procedures. I hope she referred you to an experienced and qualified physician to perform these procedures.

Good morning, Botox is made up of a Neurotixin which paralyzes muscles. In extremely low doses it is used locally to paralyze muscles, stopping their contraction and smoothing out the wrinkles of the skin above those muscles. In small doses, it is safe. It is also temporary, lasting 3-6 months. The body develops antibodies to it and therefore it disappears. Repeat injections are always needed. Please go to a physician who is extremely familiar with the anatomy of the face, such as a cosmetic or plastic surgeon. There are side effects which are usually due to injection into the wrong muscle or too much injection which spreads to unwanted muscles, causing droopy eyelids which can last up to a month. Otherwise, Botox is widely used and extremely safe. Good luck!
