Botox & Dermal Fillers

The GW Cosmetic Surgery Center offers a full range of injectable neuromodulators and dermal fillers administered by Dr. Michael Olding in Washington DC. Neuromodulator options include Botox and Dysport for softening dynamic expression lines on the forehead, glabella, and crow's feet. Dermal filler options include Restylane, Juvéderm, Sculptra, and Radiesse for restoring volume to the cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, and jawline. Injectables are available as standalone treatments and can be combined with surgical procedures as part of a comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan.

Injectable neuromodulator and dermal filler treatments at the GW Cosmetic Surgery Center in Washington DC are performed by Dr. Michael Olding MD FACS, whose top-1%-nationally-ranked cosmetic surgery practice includes a full menu of non-surgical facial rejuvenation options alongside his surgical portfolio. The injectable neuromodulator offerings include Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) and Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA), both FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A formulations that work by blocking acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction to relax the targeted facial muscles and soften the dynamic expression lines they create. Primary treatment zones include the frontalis for horizontal forehead lines, the corrugator and procerus for glabellar frown lines between the brows, and the orbicularis oculi for lateral crow's feet. Secondary applications performed by experienced injectors include masseteric injection for jaw slimming, brow depressor treatment for a chemical brow lift, and platysmal band injection for neck rejuvenation. Results typically onset within three to seven days and last three to six months depending on the product and zone. The dermal filler portfolio at the GW Cosmetic Surgery Center spans hyaluronic acid-based options in the Restylane family (Restylane Lyft, Restylane Silk, Restylane Defyne) and Juvéderm family (VOLUMA, VOLLURE, VOLBELLA), each with distinct rheological properties suited to different anatomical zones and degrees of tissue support required. Restylane Lyft and Juvéderm VOLUMA are used for structural cheek volumization and malar augmentation; softer formulations address nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and perioral areas; ultra-fine lip-specific fillers define the vermilion border and add hydration and projection to the lip body. Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid biostimulator) is used for gradual whole-face collagen restoration over a series of sessions, improving skin thickness and overall facial fullness rather than targeting isolated volume deficits. Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite) provides both immediate structural correction and biostimulatory collagen induction. All injectables at the West End Washington DC clinic are planned and administered within a surgical consultation framework, drawing on Dr. Olding's deep understanding of facial anatomy, aging vectors, and the interplay between injectable treatment and longer-term surgical rejuvenation.
