Our Services / Injectables

What are injectables?

Injectables are a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that enhances the natural contours of your face and addresses mild to moderate age-related skin flaws. Dermatology & Advanced Skin Care provides several injectables in-office for adults who want to improve their appearance without surgery. The board-certified dermatologists offer Botox therapy.

What is the difference between Botox and dermal fillers?

While both are injectable treatments, Botox and dermal fillers work differently to address skin issues like wrinkles, fine lines, and lost facial volume that become more common with age.

Botox

Botox is a prescription medication made from a purified form of botulinum toxin, the same substance that causes food poisoning. In precise doses, Botox temporarily paralyzes the muscles responsible for crow’s feet around the eyes and frown lines across the brow.

The Providers at Dermatology and Advanced Skin Care in Columbia, MD use Botox and its other forms such as Dysport and Daxxify to help relax and rebalance the muscles in the forehead. All three versions of Botox will do the following: Stop the squeezing of muscles between your eyebrows that create the 11 wrinkles, smooth the crows feet that are wrinkles on the outside of your eyes and provides a gentle non-surgical brow lift of the eyebrows creating a beautiful arch.

Dr. Dean Kane, the Plastic Surgeon at DASC, prefers Daxxify the newest form of Botox as it kicks in faster, is equally strong if not stronger than Botox and often lasts longer than 4 months. Dr. Kane has been using Daxxify in the office of Dermatology and Advanced Skin Care in Columbia, MD for over one year. Dr. Kane’s patients have been impressed with the results. When patients ask for Daxxify by name when they return for their visits, we know our patients have been extremely happy with the results from their Daxxify.

Am I a candidate for injectables?

You might be a candidate for the injectables available at Dermatology & Advanced Skin Care if you’re dissatisfied with age-related skin flaws but aren’t interested in invasive surgery. The board-certified dermatologists review your medical history and your cosmetic goals. They also discuss your expectations for treatment to ensure injectables can deliver the results you want.

Based on your unique facial features and aesthetic goals, the team customizes a care plan using Botox and/or dermal fillers. Treatment times for injectables are fast and pose minimal risk to your health under the supervision of trained dermatologists. You can even schedule dermal filler or Botox injections on your lunch break and return to work without limitations.

The results of Botox can last for three months or longer before you need maintenance injections. Many of the available dermal fillers provide lasting results for six months or more based on the existing health of your skin.
