Here is what the difference actually means for you.
Most people see either a surgeon, or an injector.
Rarely both.
Anatomy, Knowledge
Years of surgical training in the exact facial layers where Botox and filler are placed — and where mistakes happen.

A Precise Eye
The same attention to detail that closes a wound cleanly is what keeps aesthetic results looking natural, not overdone.

Complications from fillers are rare. But, when they do occur, you will want a surgeon to handle it, not someone who has to call one.

"I was finally able to get on the surgeons schedule for my lip flip and I'm so pleased with the botox brand Dr. Sebastian Cruz recommended. It looks all natural and not overdone one week after. I'm also a fan of how aesthetically pleasing the med spa is with the tranquil color schemes and plants. I'm looking forward to trying out the other types of functional and alternative medical services you offer because I sure do need it!!!"
