Botox vs. Filler: Which Treats Your Lines Best?
A MOLD Manila Guide to Smoother, Natural-Looking Rejuvenation
Botox® and dermal fillers are two of the most trusted non-surgical treatments for softening lines and refreshing your features. While both help you look more well-rested and refined, they work very differently—and understanding those differences makes it easier to choose what will give you the most natural, balanced result.
At MOLD Manila, our goal is simple: results that look like you—just smoother, lifted, and more refreshed.
Botox vs. Filler: What’s the Difference?
Although both treatments improve signs of aging, they target different types of lines:
Botox (Face Botox2)
Softens lines caused by muscle movement.
Think: expression wrinkles.
Dermal Fillers (Hyaluronic Acid or Aesthefill)
Restore volume where the skin appears hollow, creased, or less supported.
Think: folds, sagging, or areas needing structure.
Botox = relaxes muscles
Fillers = rebuild structure
Together, they offer a powerful yet natural-looking combination.
When Botox Works Best
Botox is perfect for movement-based wrinkles, also known as dynamic lines, such as:
Horizontal forehead lines
The “11s” between your brows
Crow’s feet around the eyes
Botox gently relaxes the muscles that create these lines so the skin looks smoother, softer, and more refined.
How long it lasts: 3 to 4 months
When you see results: Gradually within 1 week; peak at 2 weeks
With consistent sessions, muscles become less reactive—giving you even more natural, long-term smoothness.
Botox at MOLD Manila
Our Face Botox treatments are personalized per area and priced per unit—allowing precision, natural results, and full control of your anti-aging plan.
When Filler Works Best
Fillers are ideal for static wrinkles—lines that remain visible even when your face is at rest. They also help restore volume and enhance features.
Best areas for fillers include:
Smile lines (nasolabial folds)
Marionette lines
Cheeks
Lips
Jawline
Undereyes
Dermal fillers work by adding structure beneath the skin to lift, smooth, and enhance contours.
How long it lasts:
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: 6 months–1 year
Aesthefill (Collagen Stimulator): Up to 2 years
Fillers at MOLD Manila
We offer:
Dermal Fillers (Hyaluronic Acid) – for volume, definition, hydration
Aesthefill – a collagen-stimulating filler for long-term rejuvenation
These options allow us to customize your treatment based on structure, longevity, and your desired finish—subtle, sculpted, or softly refreshed.
Botox + Filler: The Power Combo
Because they treat different concerns, Botox and fillers complement each other beautifully:
Botox:
Stops new wrinkles from etching deeper.
Filler:
Restores youthful volume and smooths existing folds.
Most clients get the most natural, lifted, and balanced appearance by combining the two—especially for full-face rejuvenation involving the forehead, midface, and lower face.
This is why a personalized plan is always the best approach.
How to Know Which One You Need
A simple guide:
If the wrinkle appears only when you move → Botox
Example: You raise your brows → lines appear
If the wrinkle is visible even when your face is relaxed → Filler
Example: Deep laugh lines or hollow under eyes
Most faces need a combination of both—because aging involves both movement and volume loss.
