BOTOX® vs. Wrinkle Creams

At our med spa in Denver, we treat many patients with injectables such as BOTOX® Cosmetic and JUVÉDERM®. Many of our patients have been battling wrinkles for years, using creams and lotions that ultimately can only do so much. Here are a few reasons why BOTOX® Cosmetic is more effective than wrinkle creams.*

Wrinkle Creams Are a Surface Treatment

Wrinkling starts far below the skin’s visible surface, much deeper than any topical cream or lotion can reach. While wrinkles may seem less apparent on well-moisturized skin, that’s really not a solution to the underlying problem. BOTOX® and injectable fillers, on the other hand, address the underlying causes of your wrinkles.*

 Wrinkle Creams Take Forever

If you want fast results, wrinkle creams are the last thing you should try. Many of the products on the market today claim they boost collagen production, plump up skin and diminish fine lines. Even if true, that process would take many months. In the meantime, collagen continues being lost from your skin naturally as it ages. It’s really a losing battle.

Wrinkle Creams Are Expensive

Initially, BOTOX® may seem like a  bigger investment. That is, until you think about how much wrinkle cream costs, and how much you will have to buy over the course of your lifetime. Don’t forget to include all those products you’ve purchased, tried for a while, then discarded because they didn’t work. Over the long-term, BOTOX® really doesn’t cost that much more.
