Botox® and Fillers

Injectables are one of the most popular ways to boost the appearance of your skin instantly. Botox® is used to relax the muscles of the face and improve dynamic and static wrinkles in the forehead, around the eyes, and between the eyebrows. Botox® can also be used to minimize a “gummy” smile, minimize marionette and perioral lines as well as provide fuller lips.

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are injected beneath the skin to restore volume, smooth lines, soften creases and enhance facial contours. More than one million men and women annually choose this popular facial rejuvenation treatment, which can be a cost-effective way to restore youth and vitality without surgery. 

These in-office procedures, which are done my Dr. Ramirez, can make a big difference in erasing fine lines, wrinkles and in restoring volume to give you a more youthful but natural appearance.

The benefits of getting your treatment by a dermatologist vs spa

While they both offer similar treatments when it comes to cosmetic services, a dermatologist or plastic surgeon is almost always the better option for neurotoxin (Botox®) and filler injections because of the extensive training the providers receive in their specialty. 

• When you have a certified dermatologist overseeing treatments, the approach is holistic and more likely to result in lasting, beautiful outcomes. Dermatologists have years of specialized education creating high-quality results with injectables. 

• When you see a dermatologist—even for a minor skin concern—they may be able to diagnose underlying conditions that cause the concern, as well as prescribe treatment options and skincare to help long-term. 

• Finally, safety is a concern. While cosmetic dermatology is largely considered safe, there are still risks—some severe. This can include nerve injury, discoloration of skin, unnatural-looking results, and others. Dermatologists are trained to avoid these mistakes, and also trained on how to respond quickly and effectively in the rare case that something goes awry.
