Beyond the three areas

One face. Multiple muscles. One comprehensive approach.

Most people think Botox means forehead lines, 11s and crow’s feet.

But the face doesn’t age in three places.

Dr. Tessa looks beyond individual wrinkles, evaluating how muscles throughout the face and neck contribute to the overall appearance.

The goal isn’t more Botox. It’s better Botox.

Botox at Beauty Spot

What if Botox could do more than your forehead?

Most people think Botox means forehead lines, 11s and crow’s feet.

Dr. Tessa looks beyond the traditional three areas — because the face doesn’t age in three places.

After 15+ years in facial aesthetics, Dr. Tessa uses Botox across the face and neck to create a result that feels more complete: smoother, fresher, more balanced and more lifted.

  • Forehead + frown linesSmoother lines while preserving a natural-looking brow.
  • Brow + eye areaA fresher, more open, more rested appearance.
  • Lower faceFor muscular activity that can contribute to a downturned or heavier-looking lower face.
  • Masseter + jawlineFor facial balance and a cleaner-looking lower face where appropriate.
  • Neck + platysmaFor visible neck bands and muscular pull affecting the lower face and neck.

The best skincare is muscle care.

Skincare can improve the skin. It cannot change the muscular forces repeatedly folding, pulling and creasing it.

If the foundation is working against you, even beautiful skincare can only do so much.

Stabilize the foundation. Then make the skin beautiful.

Strategic Botox gives Dr. Tessa another way to create a smoother, fresher, more lifted appearance.

Muscle care, in real life

The difference is in the details.

Two weeks after lower face Botox. No new products. Nothing added. Just muscles that stopped pulling, folding and creasing the skin.

  1. A smoother transition at the smile line
  2. Lips that look softer and less tense
  3. A calmer, smoother chin

And look at the skin itself: smoother, more even texture once the constant creasing stopped.

Stabilize the foundation. Then make the skin beautiful.

Look refreshed. Not frozen.

Natural doesn’t mean invisible.

You want people to notice you look fresher, smoother, more lifted, more rested.

Just not the Botox.

Therapeutic Botox

Therapeutic Botox in Bel Air, MD: Botox for More Than Wrinkles

For some patients, Botox isn’t primarily about appearance.

When excessive muscle activity is contributing to jaw pain, clenching, grinding, facial tension, or neck and shoulder tension, neuromodulator treatment may be appropriate.

Treatment may include areas such as the:

Masseters · Jaw · Neck · Trapezius · Shoulders · Occiput

depending on the patient.

Same anatomy. Same precision. A different goal.

“I had spent three years suffering from constant pain in my head, face, jaw and neck. I had already tried chiropractic, physical therapy, massage, steroids, muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatory medication, and nothing had helped.

Dr. Tessa started treating me with Botox, dry needling and massage, and I felt significant relief right away. My episodes of pain have now diminished almost completely.

She is deeply knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely concerned for me. I cannot imagine what I would be doing today without her help.”

Facial balance

Where precision shows most.

Some of Dr. Tessa’s most delicate work is therapeutic, like restoring balance to a smile affected by Bell’s palsy. A few precisely placed units can help both sides of the face move more evenly.

It means injecting where most injectors won’t: around the mouth and smile, where a fraction of a millimeter changes the result.

It’s the same skill behind every Botox treatment she does: knowing exactly which muscles to relax, and which to leave alone.

Master injector skill, in service of a natural smile.

Before and after: an uneven smile from Bell’s palsy, then a balanced smile after Botox
Before and after: lower face at rest affected by Bell’s palsy, then a relaxed, even smile after Botox

FAQ

Botox questions, answered.

Visiting from Fallston, Forest Hill or Abingdon? We're on Baltimore Pike in Bel Air, a short drive from anywhere in Harford County.

How much does Botox cost at Beauty Spot?

Beauty Spot prices Botox by treatment area, not by the unit.

Dr. Tessa treats for the outcome using the amount appropriate for your anatomy.

You’ll know your price before treatment, and when appropriate, complimentary enhancements are available at the two-week follow-up.

Does full-face and neck Botox mean I’ll spend a fortune?

It doesn’t have to.

Beauty Spot is built around a Botox-led approach to facial rejuvenation — not expensive filler packages and an ever-growing list of treatments to maintain.

Pricing is intentionally competitive so great Botox can be realistic to maintain every three to four months.

The goal is to make looking refreshed, lifted and like yourself something you can actually maintain.

Will I look frozen?

No.

The goal is to look smoother, fresher, more open and more lifted while still looking and moving like yourself.

Treatment is planned around your face — not a standard injection map.

Why does Dr. Tessa treat more than the forehead?

Because Botox can do more than soften forehead lines.

When other areas of the face or neck are contributing to the result you want to change, treating beyond the traditional three areas can create a more complete rejuvenation result.

Can Botox help my jawline or neck?

For the right patient, yes.

Strategic treatment of areas such as the masseter or platysma may improve the appearance of the lower face, jawline or visible neck bands.

Dr. Tessa determines whether those areas are appropriate for you at your consultation.

Is it safe to get Botox from a dentist?

Dentists receive extensive training in the anatomy of the head, face, jaw and neck.

Dr. Tessa is a DDS with more than 15 years of experience in facial aesthetics and injectables.

How long does Botox last?

Results commonly last around three to four months, although timing varies by patient and treatment area.

Can Botox be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Botox is the foundation of Dr. Tessa’s signature Beauty Spot Lift: Botox relaxes the muscles pulling the face down, then PDO threads lift the skin over them. It also pairs beautifully with AquaGold, the Perfect Derma Peel and Oliveda skincare.
