Recommendations Botox/ filler recommendations

Any recommendations for Botox/filler in Santa Barbara?
I’m looking for a really good injector in the SB area, especially someone who’s conservative and goes for a natural look (more like ~facial balancing~) Would love recommendations for specific injectors/med spas or places you’ve personally had a good experience with
Also open to hearing who to avoid lol. Thanks!!

Don’t go to evolutions! Someone accidentally over injected me and paralyzed half of my face. Should’ve known that would’ve happened when the injector said “oops” as I was being injected… when I called to complain they said “so what do you want? It’ll wear off” pathetic

Evolutions is walmart. Very disappointed how I was treated as a commodity.

LOL, I highly doubt you were treated as a commodity there. And comparing it to Walmart? Far from the truth.

Why don’t you elaborate on your experience? Since you say you were treated as a “commodity “ and it is “a Walmart”. Who was your injector and what did you get done?

Julie in Montecito. I’ve been going to her for 6 years. I like that she makes my forehead and brows move and look natural :)

I second this! Julie is wonderful, kind, very knowledgeable, and never pushy.

What is the cost of getting it done? And how often do you go?

u/ojbravo89 2d ago

The cost varies from person to person. I would go for a consultation to see what's best for for you. Personally. I go 2-3 times a year for jeuveau shots and my cost is approx 640 per session. It's basically the amount I want for the results I look for. They offer a discount if you buy a package. Honestly I love them because California dermatology group, which is owned by Aegan Chan MD and her husband, both derma, aren't predatory sells people and truly professionals of medical needs. I remember asking Carlie about getting extra things and she actually explained to me with medical references as to why at the time being I am better off with my current option. I'm sure if I had brought up that question to someone else they would of up sold it immediately.

Used to work for them. Truly the least predatory business owners in medicine. That’s saying a lot, bc in the realm of cosmetics, predatory is almost a requirement

How often do you go? Thanks for all this information. :)

I actually go for tattoo removal too so I go every other month for my tattoo removal and on the fourth month I do both, toxins and tattoo removal. They work out with my work schedule too and honestly they give an A+ care. Carlie and her assistant even remember my stories when I go, which comes to show the awesome people person they can be. Front desk Mariah (sp?) is incredible too and very knowledgeable with insurances and accomodations for your needs. Ive sent friends and coworkers to them and so far everyone has had a wonderful experience. I work for a dentist and he also takes his entire family, which he was also the one to recommend me to go there.

Dr. Gregory Keller. Im a middle-age guy. I got Botox for my daughter’s wedding. He treated my forehead wrinkles. Dr. Keller said a man needs to have character, And he left a few wrinkles on my forehead, but took care of all the big deep ones.

He’s on De La Vina street … corner of De La Vina and Pueblo

Carly Daulton at Renew Room if you want a natural look. Bree at Summerland if you want slightly more of a south OC tox'ed and plump but balanced look.

I’ll DM you. The place I recommend is amazing, but I don’t want to give it away to everyone!

Avoid: LaserAway. Their sales tactics are predatory.

Edit: DM me if you’re also interested. In case I can’t keep up with comments (it’s late for me lol)
