Botox & Fillers in Lebanon: Everything You Need to Know | Dr Nazareth Papazian
Are you considering Botox or dermal fillers in Beirut? Whether you’re looking to smooth wrinkles, add volume, or simply refresh your appearance, understanding the difference between these two popular injectables is key.
In the world of modern aesthetic medicine, Botox and fillers have become two of the most popular non-surgical treatments. They offer fast, natural-looking results with little to no downtime - making them ideal for anyone seeking facial rejuvenation with surgery.
In this guide, Dr. Nazareth Papazian, renowned Plastic Surgeon and Expert injector in Beirut, Lebanon, shares insights into what Botox and fillers do, how long they last, who they're best for, and answers the most common questions we hear from patients.
What Is Botox?
Botox (botulinum toxin) is a medical-grade neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes facial muscles. It's most commonly used to reduce dynamic wrinkles such as:
Forehead lines
Frown lines (between the brows)
Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
Neck bands
Treatment of gummy smile
Treatment of excess sweating
Treatment of bruxism
Botox typically takes 10-14 days to show visible results and lasts for about 4–6 months. It's quick, safe, and non-invasive when administered by a trained professional like Dr. Nazareth Papazian.
What Are Fillers?
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances (often hyaluronic acid) injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines, or enhance facial features. They are ideal for treating:
Lip volume and shape
Nasolabial folds (laugh lines)
Marionette lines
Cheek contouring
Temple hollows
Under-eye hollows
Jawline definition
Chin projection
Fillers deliver instant results, with full settling in 1–2 weeks. They typically last more than 6 months depending on the type used and treatment area.
