“Results that never look overdone.”
David describes how anti-aging injectables with Dr. Rassael at Millennium Medical softened his crow's feet and forehead lines and restored fullness to his face. He explains how Dr. Rassael took the time to understand exactly the natural look he wanted and included a complimentary two-week Botox touch-up. After more than a decade as a patient, David recommends Dr. Rassael for results that look refreshed, never fake.

What BOTOX Can Treat
Expression lines come from repeated muscle movement. BOTOX relaxes the small muscles beneath the skin so the creases they create can soften and smooth. It is best known for treating:
- Forehead lines, the horizontal creases that appear when you raise your brows
- Frown lines between the brows, often called the elevens
- Crow's feet, the fine lines that fan out from the corners of the eyes
BOTOX also has important therapeutic uses. Patients from across the Washington, D.C. area see Dr. Rassael for chronic migraines, involuntary facial spasms, and certain eye muscle disorders. Whether your goals are cosmetic, medical, or both, a consultation is the best way to learn what BOTOX can do for you.
Am I a Good Candidate
for BOTOX?
Most healthy adults bothered by forehead lines, frown lines, or crow's feet are good candidates for BOTOX. It works best on lines caused by repeated muscle movement rather than lines caused by lost volume or sun damage, which typically respond better to dermal fillers like JUVÉDERM® or other treatments. BOTOX is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and patients with certain neuromuscular conditions should discuss their history with Dr. Rassael before treatment.
Because candidacy depends on your anatomy, medical history, and goals, Dr. Rassael evaluates every patient individually rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. During your consultation in Chevy Chase, MD, he reviews your muscle movement and skin, discusses what BOTOX can and can't address, and recommends an alternative or complementary treatment if another option would serve you better.
Should I Choose BOTOX, Dysport, Xeomin, or Fillers?
BOTOX is one of several ways to soften facial lines, and the right choice depends on your anatomy and your goals.
- BOTOX, Dysport, and Xeomin relax the small muscles that crease the skin when you frown, squint, or raise your brows. Each behaves a little differently in dosing and onset.
- Dermal fillers such as JUVÉDERM work differently. They restore lost volume to smooth deeper folds and enhance contours.
Because Millennium Medical offers all of these treatments in one Washington, D.C.-area practice, along with the full menu of services at our med spa, Dr. Rassael can recommend the option that truly serves you, or combine treatments for a more complete refresh.
What to Expect at
Your Appointment
Your visit begins with a conversation about your goals and a close look at how your facial muscles move. Dr. Rassael then maps out your treatment plan. The injections themselves take only minutes, and most appointments at our office are complete within an hour.
Because the treatment requires no anesthesia and no incisions, most patients return to their normal routine right away. We recommend staying upright for a few hours afterward and avoiding strenuous exercise, saunas, or rubbing the treated area for the rest of the day so the product settles exactly where it was placed. If this is your first visit, we may schedule a brief follow-up two weeks later to check your results and fine-tune your next treatment plan.
Smoother skin typically begins to appear within three to five days, and results generally last three to six months. Many patients schedule a few visits per year to stay ahead of new lines.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does BOTOX last?
Results generally last three to six months. As the effect fades, lines gradually return, and a maintenance appointment restores your results. Many patients in the Washington, D.C. area settle into a comfortable rhythm of two to four visits per year.
When will I see results?
Most patients begin to notice smoother skin within three to five days of treatment, with results continuing to refine over the following days.
Does BOTOX hurt?
Discomfort is minimal for most patients. The needles used are very fine, and each injection takes only seconds. Most people describe a brief pinch and return to their day right away.
How many units of BOTOX will I need?
Every patient is different. The amount depends on the areas treated and how strong the underlying muscles are. Dr. Rassael determines the right amount during your consultation and reviews pricing with you before treatment begins.
How do I choose between BOTOX and other injectables?
You do not have to decide on your own. During your consultation, Dr. Rassael examines your skin and muscle movement, listens to your goals, and recommends the right treatment, or combination, from the full menu.
