This or That with Dr. Milan Shah: The Ultimate Aesthetic Treatment Face-Off

When it comes to aesthetic treatments, the choices can be overwhelming. Should you smooth fine lines or restore lost volume? Tighten skin or improve texture? Plump your lips or refine your nose? With so many high-performance options available, it helps to have expert guidance.

Enter Dr. Milan Shah, renowned aesthetic physician and beauty expert at Beautologie. In this “This or That” face-off, Dr. Shah breaks down today’s most popular non-surgical treatments—what they do, how they work, and how to decide which is best for YOU.

Let’s explore the top contenders!

Dysport

Dysport is a neuromodulator, similar to Botox, that temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles those formed by repetitive expressions like frowning, squinting, or raising your brows. It’s commonly used on the forehead, between the brows (glabellar lines), and around the eyes (crow’s feet).

Filler

Filler restores lost volume and enhances facial contours using hyaluronic acid-based gels. It’s perfect for treating deeper lines (like nasolabial folds), sunken cheeks, under-eye hollows, and even enhancing lips and jawlines.

Bio Stimulator

Bio Stimulators (like Sculptra or Radiesse) work by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production over time. These treatments don’t provide instant volume but gradually improve skin thickness, firmness, and overall quality making them ideal for those who want a more subtle, natural rejuvenation that lasts.

Laser Peel

Laser Peels (like fractional CO2 or erbium lasers) remove damaged outer skin layers, revealing fresh, smoother skin underneath. They're highly effective for treating sun damage, age spots, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone. Downtime can vary, but results are dramatic and long-lasting.

Microneedling

Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s healing response and boosting collagen and elastin. It’s gentler, with minimal downtime, and great for treating fine lines, acne scars, and improving texture and pore size.

Morpheus8

Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to penetrate deeper into the skin and stimulate collagen at a much more intensive level. It tightens skin, reduces wrinkles, and improves texture, making it excellent for jowls, necks, and crepey under-eye skin.

Lip Filler

Lip Filler is one of the most popular treatments for enhancing lip shape, symmetry, and volume. Whether you're looking for a subtle refresh or a fuller, more glamorous pout, hyaluronic acid-based fillers can be tailored to your desired look.

Nose Filler

Nose Filler (aka Liquid Rhinoplasty) is a non-surgical solution for straightening nasal humps, lifting a drooping tip, or refining asymmetry. It’s a quick procedure with instant results and no downtime perfect for patients not ready for surgery.
