What to choose after 35: fillers, botulinum therapy or polylactic acid? 🤔💉🧴

After 35 years, the skin gradually loses its density, wrinkles appear, and the oval of the face changes. And it is during this period that many people begin to think about aesthetic procedures that will help preserve their youth. But what to choose — botulinum therapy, fillers or polylactic acid? We understand together with the experts ML Beauty Clinic 👩‍⚕️💗

🔬 What is the difference between these methods?

1. Botulinum therapy (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin)

This is an injection procedure that blocks the overactivity of the muscles that cause wrinkles.

💠 Indication:

• Mimic wrinkles (forehead, between the eyebrows, corners of the eyes)

• Facial asymmetry

• Prevention of new wrinkles

💠 Result:

• Wrinkle smoothing

• Fresh, “rested” look

• Effect for 4–6 months

💠 Feature: Does not fill the skin, but relaxes the muscles.

2. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers

These are gels that are injected under the skin to fill in volume and smooth out the contour.

💠 Indication:

• Reduction of the volume of cheeks, cheekbones, lips

• Nasolabial triangle wrinkles

• Thin lips

• Correction of facial contour

💠 Result:

• Volume recovery

• Contour plastic

• Noticeable rejuvenation

• Effect up to 12 months (sometimes longer)

💠 Feature: Visual effect after the procedure.

3. Polylactic acid (e.g., Sculptra)

This is a biostimulant - a substance that stimulates the body's own collagen production.

💠 Indication:

• Sagging skin

• Loss of density and elasticity

• Gradual “fading” of the face

• Need gentle, natural rejuvenation?

💠 Result:

• Skin tightening

• Density improvement

• Rejuvenation from within

• The effect builds up gradually and lasts for 1–2 years.

💠 Feature: Does not change facial features, preserves naturalness and facial expressions.

🧬 Which option is suitable after 35 years of age?

After 35 years of age, they usually occur combined age-related changes:

• Facial wrinkles appear → botulinum therapy

• Volume is lost in the cheeks and lips → fillers

• The skin becomes less elastic → polylactic acid

Therefore, the most effective approach is complex, individually selected by a beautician.

🧑‍⚕️ Recommended combinations:

🔸 Botulinum therapy + fillers
→ for a pronounced rejuvenation effect and softer facial features
🔸 Polylactic acid + Botox
→ for natural lifting without a “frozen face”
🔸 Fillers + polylactic acid
→ when both volume and skin density restoration are needed

All of these options can be combined under the supervision of a specialist. The main thing is not to exaggerate, adhere to doses and stages of procedures.

❓ Frequently asked questions:

Will fillers “reshape” the face?
🔹 No, if a professional doctor works. We create natural volumes, without the effect of a “pumped” face.

Does this hurt?
🔹 All procedures are performed under anesthesia. Pain is minimal or non-existent.

Is there rehabilitation?
🔹 Botox - no. Fillers - slight swelling for 1-3 days. Polylactic acid - massage and observation at home.
