Dream Aesthetics & Wellness

Dream Aesthetics & Wellness is a small med spa in north Fresno, founded by nurse practitioner Araceli Huerta. It serves Fresno, along with clients coming from Clovis and Madera. Consultations and treatment can be done in English or Spanish, start to finish. According to its Google listing, the business has a 5.0 rating from 13 reviews.

Every visit begins with a free consultation, held Thursday through Saturday, with no obligation to book that day. At the consultation the provider reviews goals, recommends options and gives a plan and an exact price before anything is booked. A $50 deposit holds an appointment and is applied toward the treatment. The provider decides candidacy, products, dosing and any prescriptions after the consultation. Booking runs through Square, where a one-hour Dream Aesthetics Appointment is listed at a varying price, or by call or text at (559) 338-5503.

The neurotoxin menu uses Jeuveau, an FDA-approved product for frown lines; the Botox brand itself is not offered, though the business uses that name because most people search for it. Jeuveau is also used for forehead lines, 11s, crow's feet, lip flips, gummy smiles and the jaw, with uses beyond frown lines considered off-label and dosed at consultation. Filler services include hyaluronic acid lip filler built gradually, dermal filler for cheeks, chin, jawline, temples and smile lines, under-eye filler for the tear trough, and filler dissolving with hyaluronidase.

Skin treatments include Opus Plasma, a resurfacing treatment that uses numbing cream first and usually involves several days of downtime depending on settings; the business says it has less downtime than traditional ablative lasers. Other skin options are microneedling with exosome or PDRN boosters, a vampire facial using the client's own platelet-rich plasma, and Sculptra, which supports the skin gradually over months. Results vary from person to person. John F. Burnett are offered there too.

Aims to enhance natural features rather than change them, with subtle, balanced results. Treatment planning looks at the whole face first and aims for balance rather than filling each line.

Each visit takes place in the provider's own private treatment room.
