Understanding Ageing Skin
Ageing is a gradual process influenced by genetics, lifestyle, sun exposure, and environmental factors. Over time, our skin loses collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, which are essential for firmness and hydration. This leads to fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging — particularly around the eyes, mouth, and cheeks.
At Pravara Centre for Dermatology, Dentistry and Aesthetics, Nagarbhavi, our goal is to help you age gracefully with scientifically proven, minimally invasive treatments like Botox and dermal fillers. These procedures restore a natural, youthful appearance without surgery or downtime.
What is Botox and How Does It Work?
Botox (Botulinum toxin type A) is a purified protein that works by relaxing the tiny facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles — lines that appear when you smile, frown, or raise your eyebrows.
When injected in precise micro-doses by an experienced dermatologist, Botox softens expression lines (wrinkle treatment) while maintaining natural facial movement.
Common treatment areas:
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines (between eyebrows)
- Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
- Bunny lines (on the nose)
- Chin dimpling and neck bands
Benefits of Botox:
- Smoothens wrinkles and fine lines
- Prevents deep wrinkle formation
- Quick procedure (10–15 minutes)
- No downtime — resume work immediately
- Results appear in 3–7 days and last 4–6 months
Regular maintenance sessions help preserve youthful, smooth skin with minimal effort.
What are Dermal Fillers and How Do They Help?
Dermal fillers are soft gel-like injectables made of hyaluronic acid (HA) — a natural component of skin that retains moisture and volume. With age, HA levels decline, leading to hollow cheeks, sunken eyes, and sagging skin. Fillers restore this lost volume and rejuvenate facial contours instantly.
Popular filler treatment areas:
- Cheeks and mid-face for lift and volume
- Under-eye hollows / dark circle treatment (tear troughs)
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines (around the mouth)
- Lips for definition and fullness
- Jawline and chin contouring
Benefits of Fillers:
- Instant, visible results
- Restores facial balance and symmetry
- Soft, natural-looking enhancement
- Results last 9–18 months depending on product used
- Safe, reversible procedure when performed by a qualified dermatologist
Botox vs. Fillers — Which is Right for You?
| Concern | Recommended Treatment |
| Wrinkles caused by facial expressions (forehead, eyes) | Botox |
| Volume loss and sagging (cheeks, under eyes, lips) | Fillers |
| Prevention of new wrinkles | Botox |
| Enhancing facial contours and structure | Fillers |
In most cases, a combination of Botox and fillers delivers the most natural, rejuvenated results. Your dermatologist will create a personalized anti-ageing plan based on your facial anatomy, skin condition, and aesthetic goals.
