What are BOTOX® and Fillers?

Doctors inject BOTOX® and dermatologic “fillers” to improve your skin’s appearance. BOTOX® helps stop muscle contractions, which enables wrinkles to soften and appear less noticeable. Fillers work by plumping up areas of sagging skin, enhancing all areas for the face with removal of unwanted shadows.

BOTOX® and fillers are safe and effective for most patients. At Dream Med Spa & Laser Center options such as Kybella®, Juvederm®, Voluma®, Vobella®, Restylane® and Latisse® are all available.

How does this treatment work?

If you opt to get facial fillers at Dream Med Spa & Laser Center , it’s an outpatient procedure. Together, you and Dr. Rogers discuss what areas you want to treat and which injectables are best-suited for your goals, skin type, and age.

Dr. Rogers cleanses and preps the treatment areas with an antibacterial agent to avoid infection. If you’re sensitive to needles, she may chill your skin or apply a topical anesthetic to help numb the area. She then injects the filler into the treatment areas and may massage the skin to distribute the filler evenly.

The procedure is brief and painless. Afterward, you receive detailed instructions about caring for your skin. After the initial swelling subsides, you can return to the office to have a “touch-up” procedure.

Your skin may feel tender for a few days, and Dr. Rogers may advise you to avoid the sun or strenuous physical activity. Dr. Rogers may also encourage you to minimize swelling by using an ice pack.
