Cosmetic Injectables in Berlin, MD

Neurotoxins

At Peninsula Plastic Surgery in Berlin, MD, we offer a full range of neurotoxin injectables to smooth fine lines, reduce wrinkles, and refresh your natural appearance. Neurotoxins, also known as botulinum toxin type A, work by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles, which softens the lines caused by repeated expressions. While Botox® Cosmetic is the most widely recognized brand, our practice also offers Dysport®, Jeuveau®, Xeomin®, and Daxxify®, giving patients multiple options to achieve their desired results. Each injectable works effectively, and our experienced providers help determine which is best suited to your goals and preferences.

When injected with precision, neurotoxins reduce wrinkles in common trouble areas such as frown lines between the brows, crow’s feet around the eyes, forehead creases, and vertical lip lines. Treatments are quick, virtually painless, and require little to no downtime.

Neurotoxin is Safe

Neurotoxin injectables are considered safe when administered by trained medical professionals. Since the formula is a purified protein (not a live organism), it does not multiply or spread throughout the body. Its effects are limited only to the injection site, where it gently relaxes targeted muscles. Anesthesia is not required, though a topical numbing cream can be applied to make the process more comfortable for sensitive patients.

Goals of Injectables

The cosmetic benefits of neurotoxin injections include:

Smoothing forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet
Softening lines around the lips and mouth
Preventing new expression wrinkles from forming
Providing subtle eyebrow elevation by relaxing downward-pulling muscles
Reducing the appearance of vertical neck bands

Beyond aesthetics, neurotoxins are also used for hyperhidrosis (excessive underarm sweating). For patients who do not respond to antiperspirants, injections can reduce sweating by up to 87%. Most patients notice improvement within 2–4 days, with full dryness achieved within two weeks. Results can last 4–12 months, and because the underarms account for less than 2% of sweat glands, normal body temperature regulation is not affected.

Results from neurotoxin injections typically become noticeable within just 3 days, with full effects appearing in about two weeks. On average, results last 3 to 5 months, but many patients report that after several consecutive treatments, their results begin to last even longer, often extending up to 6 months or more.

Side effects with neurotoxin treatments are uncommon and usually very mild. Some patients may notice temporary bruising or slight redness at the injection site. Rare complications include unintended muscle weakness, mild eyelid drooping, or allergic reactions, though these are infrequent when treatment is performed by skilled providers.

Dermal Fillers

In addition to neurotoxins, we proudly offer a wide selection of Juvederm® and Restylane® dermal fillers. These products are made with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin that restores lost volume, smooths wrinkles, and enhances facial contours.

Our filler options include:

Juvederm Ultra & Ultra Plus: Smooth moderate to severe lines around the mouth and nose; plump the lips.
Juvederm Volbella: Enhances lips, softens vertical lip lines, and improves tear trough hollows.
Juvederm Vollure: Treats deep lines and folds around the mouth.
Juvederm Voluma: Restores volume to the cheeks and chin, lifting and sculpting facial features.
Juvederm Volux: Defines and contours the jawline.
SkinVive: Improves skin smoothness and radiance in the cheeks.
Kybella: Permanently destroys submental fat, commonly known as a double chin.
Restylane (Classic): Treats lips, facial wrinkles, and tear troughs.
Restylane Refyne & Defyne: Smooth moderate to deep smile lines and enhance chin projection.
Restylane Silk: Adds subtle lip definition and reduces lines around the mouth.
Restylane Lyft: Lifts and restores volume in the cheeks, hands, and laugh lines.
Restylane Kysse: Enhances lips with natural flexibility and soft definition.
Restylane Contour: Adds contour and volume to the midface and cheeks.

With over 15 years of experience using fillers, our providers have treated thousands of patients safely and effectively. Treatments are performed in the comfort of our office, typically under local anesthesia.

The most commonly treated areas include nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the mouth), thinning lips, fine lines around the mouth, and loss of cheek or hand volume. Results are immediate and typically last 6–12 months, depending on the product used and treatment area.

FAQ’s

Who is a good candidate?

Patients seeking to reduce wrinkles, frown lines, or crow’s feet are ideal candidates for neurotoxin injections. They are also effective for patients struggling with underarm hyperhidrosis. Dermal fillers are great for anyone wanting to restore volume, smooth folds, or enhance lips and cheeks.

When will I see results?

With neurotoxins, results begin to show within 2–4 days, with full effect in about two weeks. For hyperhidrosis, dryness can last 4–12 months. Dermal fillers provide instant results after treatment.

How long do results last?

Neurotoxin effects typically last 3–4 months, though some patients experience up to 6 months with repeat treatments. Dermal fillers last anywhere from 6 months to over a year, depending on the product and area treated.

What should I do before and after?

Little preparation is needed. Patients may request numbing cream before injections. Afterward, avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area to prevent product migration.

What can I expect during treatment?

Using a fine needle, small amounts of neurotoxin or filler are injected into specific facial muscles or treatment areas. The procedure is quick and usually completed in minutes. Neurotoxins temporarily relax muscles to smooth wrinkles, while fillers restore lost volume or enhance contours. For hyperhidrosis, neurotoxin is injected directly into the underarm area.
