So, you have peace of mind when selecting Eternal Dermatology + Aesthetics as a provider in your area for Botox®.
Your safety, health, and appearance are in exceptional hands. Plus, due to our level of skill and onsite capabilities, we truly unlock all that Botox® Cosmetic can do. Read on to find out about the many applications for Botox® and so much more.
What is Botox®?
Botox® is most famously known as a cosmetic treatment. It is actually among a category of injectable treatments designed to target the muscles responsible for expression lines. It is indicated to improve the appearance of creases in the upper portion of the face, specifically the crow’s feet around the eyes, horizontal forehead lines, and vertical frown lines between the eyebrows.
How is Botox® injected?
First, your provider maps out exactly where to inject Botox®. The treatment is then applied to these specific areas via a thin needle. Once all the necessary injections are made, you can get right back to the rest of your day with no downtime or healing. Injections are also completed in minutes.
Does it hurt?
While many patients tolerate Botox® very well, we have ways to ensure your utmost comfort if you are anxious or concerned about treatment. We are also happy to discuss incorporating a numbing topical local anesthetic into your treatment.

When will I see results?
Your wrinkles may look less noticeable in just 3-5 days. However, every patient is different. Maximum effects are usually visible in around two weeks as the targeted muscles relax and soften lines, wrinkles, and depressions for a smoother look.
Is Botox® permanent?
No cosmetic treatment is permanent. Even surgical procedures simply reset the clock for a time—they don’t stop it. For most patients, Botox® lasts for four to six months before maintenance injections or “touch-ups” are necessary.
Why does it matter who injects my Botox®?
It matters for numerous reasons. For starters, your safety and treatment results depend on the injections being applied precisely. Our team at Eternal Dermatology + Aesthetics ensures that Botox® is injected properly – at the right dosages, into the right muscles. That way, any more serious effects or complications are avoided, and you never look “overfilled” or like your face is “frozen” afterward. You simply look like the best possible version of yourself. Also, due to our level of skill, we make the most out of Botox® and may even recommend it to treat the lower part of the face, from a deflated upper lip to “jowls” along the jawline.
Our team in Columbia, MD, administers Botox® the way it should be, and we encourage you to experience this for yourself. Call us at (301) 479-6544 today to schedule your consultation.
