Botox and skin boosters work in completely different ways. Botox is a muscle relaxant that temporarily reduces wrinkles caused by facial movement, such as frown lines and crow's feet. Skin boosters are hyaluronic acid micro-injections that hydrate the skin from within, improving texture, elasticity, and glow without affecting muscle movement.
