Do I need a consultation before anything is done?
Yes. Every treatment in this category begins with one, and it is where suitability is decided.
Who actually performs the treatment?
A clinician. These are prescription medicines, not spa products, and they are not administered by a therapist.
What should I bring to the consultation?
A list of everything you take, including over-the-counter medicines and supplements, and the dates of any recent facial treatment or dental work.
What if I have had injectables somewhere else?
Say what was used, roughly when, and how you responded. That changes what your clinician will suggest, and guessing is not a substitute.
Can I be told what result to expect?
Your clinician will describe what is reasonable for you specifically. Nothing on this page can do that, and any page that tries should be read carefully.
How far ahead of an event should I come?
Ask your clinician how long the result takes to settle, then count backwards from the event. The day before is never the answer.
Is there anything I should stop taking beforehand?
Ask your clinician and, if it was prescribed, the person who prescribed it. Do not stop a prescription on the strength of a web page.
Can I book if I am pregnant or nursing?
Tell us before booking rather than on arrival. It is the first thing that needs to be known, not a detail to mention in passing.
What happens at the appointment itself?
Your clinician goes over what you discussed, confirms nothing has changed, explains what they are about to do, and answers questions before starting.
Can I change my mind after the consultation?
Yes, at any point before treatment begins. A consultation commits you to nothing.
How long should I set aside?
Longer than the appointment length shown, because the conversation is part of it. Ask for the total when you book.
Can I drive afterwards?
Ask your clinician on the day. It depends on what was done and they will tell you before you leave.
What should I do for the rest of the day?
Your clinician will give you specific instructions before you leave. Follow those rather than general advice found elsewhere.
What if something does not feel right afterwards?
Call. Describe what you are noticing and when it started, rather than waiting to see whether it settles.
Is medical weight management the same kind of appointment?
It is in the same category because it is also clinician-led and prescription-based, but it is a different conversation with a different plan.
Can I combine it with a facial on the same day?
Ask before booking both. Some combinations are fine and some need to be spaced, and that is a clinical decision.
Do you take insurance?
No. These are paid for directly.
Are the prices below the final cost?
They are the current prices for the appointments listed. What you need is decided at the consultation, so ask there for the figure that applies to you.
Where exactly are you?
4500 N Park Ave, Chevy Chase, MD 20815, with parking on site.
