a little injectables refresher

if you frequent HOP, we’re sure you’re well-versed on the benefits of botox & filler but for those of you new to the game, here’s a little refresher...

dermal filler (juvederm & restylane) and neurotoxins (botox & dysport) are used for the prevention and treatment of facial aging. however, they’re very different when it comes to how they work and what areas they treat. let's break it down…
