5 key differences between Botox and fillers

Both are injections, both rejuvenate — but they work in completely different ways. What does Botox solve, what do fillers solve, and which one suits your wrinkles?

Injectable aesthetics has become the most chosen of all non-surgical procedures. Yet the term "Botox and filler" is often confused.

Difference 1: The substance

• **Botox (botulinum toxin)** — temporarily weakens the muscle
• **Filler (hyaluronic acid)** — fills a void and adds volume

Difference 2: The target

Difference 3: How long it lasts

• Botox: 3-4 months
• Filler: 6-18 months (depending on the brand)

Difference 4: Price (Baku, 2026)

• Botox, 1 area: 200-350 AZN
• Filler, 1 ml: 350-650 AZN

Difference 5: Risks

• Botox: rare, temporary asymmetry is possible
• Filler: vessel occlusion (rare but serious) — only with an experienced practitioner!
