FILLER FOUL The little-known side effects of anti-wrinkle injections and filler as tweakments surge… from dreadful sex to blindness
Botox is actually the brand name for a product containing botulinum toxin type A, a substance that helps reduce facial wrinkles by temporarily relaxing muscles. Fillers, on the other hand, are usually made from hyaluronic acid and are used to add volume to the lips, cheeks, chin, under the eyes, and some other areas of the face.
