I’ve been a longtime client of ProMD because of their superior knowledge and expertise in helping to improve my skincare. Years ago, I was curious about Botox. I inquired with several MedSpa’s on their methods, products and what was best for me. I chose ProMD because they met all of my concerns and I felt completely comfortable and confident in their care. I’m glad I’ve continued my skin ca...
Mandy was great. Very knowledgable, recommended a treatment plan..and she followed thru with the best results possible. I received injectables that were perfect for my concerns.The staff are professional and personable.
I have been visiting ProMD Health in Baltimore for several years for botox treatments. The staff and facility are wonderful - check-in is easy, wait time is short, and Amanda is an expert when it comes to Botox placement and injection.
My visit was great from start to finish. Everyone I encountered from check in to check out was super nice and efficient. I barely sat down after checking in and my name was already called! Once in the treatment room I felt comfortable thanks to Amanda. She was super helpful giving me product tips for the areas that bug me most and helped me with a plan of action for my Botox. I appreciate the...
I have been going to this practice for many years and have always had a great experience. I always leave the office feeling refreshed and looking natural. I never look like I have had too much botox and I love that people are surprised when I tell them I get botox. The staff is up to date on all the current products and anti aging solutions. The front office staff are polite and...
A: If Voluma was the filler product used in your chin treatment, it can be dissolved to revert back to your original facial structure. Typically, a provider will inject a small amount of hyaluronidase directly into the area where the filler has been injected. The amount of hyaluronidase used may range from a few drops to a few units, depending on the specific case.
It's important to note that while hyaluronidase can be an effective method of removing filler, it should only be administered by a qualified healthcare professional who has experience with this procedure. Incorrect use of hyaluronidase can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions, so it's important to seek treatment from a licensed medical professional.
A: Botox and Dysport are both injectable treatments used to reduce wrinkles and fine lines. They work by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles to form. We compare the two products like Pepsi and Coke. Although they are similar in their overall effects, there are some key differences between the two.
Firstly, Botox and Dysport are made from different strains of botulinum toxin, which is the active ingredient that relaxes the targeted muscles. Dysport has a slightly smaller molecule size compared to Botox, which means it may spread more easily and work faster.
Botox and Dysport are talked about in different unit terms as well. 20 units of Botox typically treats one facial area, while 60 units of Dysport will treat one facial area.
Ultimately, the choice between Botox and Dysport is usually best made in consultation with a qualified provider who can assess the patient's needs and recommend the appropriate treatment option.
A: I do recommend the use of a cannula in the cheek and train all my providers to more safely and accurately correct the cheeks with a cannula. Cannular delivery of dermal fillers is safer, less traumatic and leads to a more desirable result with less down time, in the right hands. As to which product to use in the cheeks; I recommend Lyft because it has a higher G prime and can generate more projection and correction than Restylane classic but again, every case should be carefully assessed by a well-trained provider.
A: The 'setting' of any dermal filler varies from patient to patient but I always inform my patients to neither love nor hate their filler for 2 weeks- Restylane Lyft, included.
A: Great question! We see a lot of this in my practice and think it's best if treated sooner then later to prevent more dramatic joweling later. I find that using Syneron Candela's Profound RF device to melt the fat in the jowel then tighten the skin gives us the best and most permanent result without looking fake or puffy. Results can take up to 6 months but certainly the best and least invasive route is strategically using the Profound!
