By now, everyone and their mother has heard of Botox and fillers. While both of these aesthetic injectables offer custom, confidence-boosting results, what they do—and how they do it—are quite different.
Smart Skin’s expert injectors are here to outline everything you need to know when weighing your options between Botox and face fillers in Birmingham.
Botox
Botox is the most popular aesthetic treatment in the world for good reason! In fact, about 1% of the world’s population receives Botox every year. That’s almost 8 billion people.
Botox, Dysport, Daxxify, and Xeomin are all neurotoxins that work by blocking specific nerves. This temporarily limits the muscle movements that cause wrinkles, preventing and smoothing them.
Beyond the aesthetic benefits of “toxins,” they can also provide non-invasive relief from chronic migraines, hyperhidrosis (overactive sweat glands), bruxism (teeth grinding), and more.
But won’t I look “plastic”?
We get it—you still want to look like yourself, just younger and more refreshed. At Smart Skin, our team has mastered the art and science behind enhancing your natural beauty, not overpowering it.
That’s why our approach to Botox is completely personalized, so we’ll recommend the right neurotoxin and dosage to address your specific concerns according to your vision, timeline, and budget. We’ve spent years perfecting our injection techniques to weaken problematic muscles without affecting your ability to laugh, talk, smile, and look like yourself.
Face Fillers
Once you enter your 20s, your skin produces less collagen and elastin every year. Without these natural proteins, your face’s underlying framework weakens, leading to volume loss and “hollow” areas.
Dermal fillers use a hyaluronic acid (HA) gal formula to restore this volume—however and wherever you see fit! We offer face fillers in Birmingham to enhance your profile from every angle, but also to rejuvenate your hands, minimize cellulitis, and more.

How do I avoid overfilling?
When you come to Smart Skin for lip filler in Hoover, you don’t have to worry about leaving with over-filled “duck lips.” Most of the celebrities you think of with over-augmented features have opted for silicone injections—which don’t dissolve—or far more than 8 syringes.
For example, here’s a look at one of our patients after receiving a total of 8 syringes in a single session. While you can see a natural difference, you’d never guess it!
