Comprehensive Laser & Aesthetics
A Comprehensive, Personalized Approach
How can BOTOX redefine your anti-aging regimen?
BOTOX is considered the gold standard in non-surgical facial rejuvenation and can work wonders on aging, wrinkled skin. BOTOX is made from a toxin produced by bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which in large doses causes food poisoning, but in small, measured doses, can beautifully restore a youthful, radiant complexion.

How does BOTOX work to deliver smooth, radiant results?
Over the course of our lifetimes, we develop many chronic, entrenched wrinkles from smiling, frowning and squinting. BOTOX works by temporarily paralyzing the tiny muscles responsible for these contractions, rendering the skin free from creases and folds. The effects of BOTOX typically last 6-12 months.

In addition to reducing wrinkles and fine lines, BOTOX can treat the following:
- Blepharospasm (repetitive blinking)
- Strabismus (misaligned eyes)
- Migraines
- Overactive bladder
- Cervical dystonia (muscles contractions in the neck and shoulders)
- Excessive underarm sweating

Who makes the best BOTOX candidate?
The ideal BOTOX candidates are healthy, emotionally and physically, with realistic expectations for their results, based on a private consultation with our Columbia, MD practitioners. Patients should have no history of neuromuscular diseases such as multiple sclerosis or myasthenia gravis. They should not be pregnant, and should be over 18 years of age.

Some other contraindications include:
- drooping eyelids
- entrenched facial scars
- skin disorders
- facial asymmetry
- muscle weakness
Make sure you inform your practitioner of all medications you are currently taking, whether they are pharmaceuticals, vitamins or herbs before your Baltimore BOTOX session.
Will there be any recovery or downtime?
A Comprehensive, Personalized Approach
BOTOX can be performed over your lunch break, because there is no downtime and patients can return to their routine right away. Occasionally patients will experience minor side effects such as redness, bruising or swelling, but these will dissipate within a few days. Makeup may be worn after the second day to conceal any of these mild symptoms. Clients should take 1 or 2 days off from the gym, and also avoid blood-thinning medications such as aspirin or ibuprofen for a few days post-injection.
How much does BOTOX treatment cost?
BOTOX is measured by the unit, with one unit costing around $10-$20. Typically, 20 to 30 units may be required to treat a large area such as the temples and forehead. Smaller areas such as around the eyes will cost less. Our team will perform a physical evaluation during your consultation, after which we will be able to give you a more specific quote tailored to your needs and goals.
