Botox vs Fillers in Nigeria: What’s Right for You?
If you’re a Lagos professional considering non-surgical treatments, you’ve probably found yourself weighing up your options. Whether you’re preparing for that important presentation in Victoria Island or simply want to look refreshed, the question often comes down to this: should you choose Botox or dermal fillers?
This guide explores Botox vs Fillers in Nigeria, helping you understand the key differences and make the right choice for your goals with insights from Dr. Uzo Iloabachie and the expert team at Skintisfaction.
Understanding Your Options
Botox: The Wrinkle Preventer
Botox treatments work by temporarily relaxing specific muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles – those lines that appear when you frown, smile, or squint. It’s perfect for:
- Forehead lines from raising your eyebrows
- Frown lines between the brows
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Neck bands for a smoother profile
Treatment time: 10-15 minutes
Results: Appear in 3-7 days, last 3-6 months
Downtime: None – back to work immediately
Dermal Fillers: The Volume Restorer
Dermal Fillers add volume and smooth static lines using gel-like substances (typically hyaluronic acid). They’re ideal for:
- Lip enhancement for fuller, more defined lips
- Cheek augmentation to restore youthful contours
- Nasolabial folds (lines from nose to mouth)
- Under-eye hollows for a brighter appearance
Treatment time: 20-30 minutes
Results: Immediate, last 6-18 months
Downtime: Minimal – some swelling possible

For Special Occasions Across Nigeria
