Let’s be honest — we all want to look fresh, confident, and like the best version of ourselves. But with so many aesthetic treatments available, it’s easy to get confused about which one is right for your goals.

At Salon Thirty Three, we specialise in subtle, natural-looking results — the kind that make people say, “You look amazing!” (without knowing why 😉).

So, let’s break down the difference between anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers, and help you decide which might be your perfect match.

✨ Anti-Wrinkle Injections — Smooth, Refresh, and Prevent

Anti-wrinkle injections work by relaxing the muscles that cause fine lines and wrinkles. When those muscles soften, your skin appears smoother, fresher, and more youthful — without losing your natural expression.

✅ Ideal for:

Frown lines (between the brows)
Forehead lines
Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
Bunny lines (at the nose)
Chin dimpling or “orange peel” texture
Jawline slimming and facial contouring

💡 Top tip: Many clients start treatments in their late 20's or early 30's as a preventative measure to slow down the formation of deeper lines.

💋 Dermal Fillers — Lift, Define, and Restore Volume

While anti-wrinkle injections relax the muscles, dermal fillers work by adding volume and structure.They’re made from hyaluronic acid — a substance your body naturally produces to keep your skin plump and hydrated.

✅ Ideal for:

Enhancing lips (shape, symmetry, or volume)
Lifting cheeks for youthful contour
Defining the jawline or chin
Smoothing smile lines (nasolabial folds)
Restoring under-eye hollows (tear troughs)

💉 Our approach is always enhancement, not overfilling — keeping your features balanced, natural, and uniquely you.

🌸 Which One Should You Choose?

It depends on your goals:

Your Goal	Best Option
Soften lines or prevent new ones	Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Add volume, shape, or lift	Dermal Fillers
Tired-looking eyes or loss of structure	Combination treatment

Many clients benefit most from a blend of both treatments, creating a rejuvenated, harmonious look without appearing “done.”
