  • What to Look for When Choosing a Med Spa

    What to Look for When Choosing a Med Spa
    Jan 29 2026
    Med spas rapidly appeared over the last decade, and treatments like Botox, filler, and lasers are everywhere. But not all med spas are the same.

    Baltimore plastic surgeon Dr. Carrie Houssock and NP Lindsey share how the industry has changed, and why who’s training and supervising the injector matters just as much as what’s being injected.

    They explain what “medical director” really means, how state laws vary, and why having a physician on site changes everything when problems come up. Learn what makes physician-led care different from a med spa that just checks the legal boxes.

    They walk through how training differs across plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and other medical providers—from years of formal education to quick certification courses—and why that difference impacts safety and results.

    Find out how to spot a high-quality med spa, which credentials matter, and which treatments carry higher risk.

  • Motiva Breast Implants: Which Is Right for You?

    Motiva Breast Implants: Which Is Right for You?
    Sep 25 2025
    Motiva breast implants aren’t new to the world, but they are new to the U.S., and the first implant to be FDA-approved in 13 years. We’re excited to now offer them in our practice.

    Dr. Houssock and Danielle break down what makes Motiva different from the Natrelle implants we’ve always used and address your biggest questions about safety.

    Motiva implants come in two styles: Round, which maintains a full, perky look at the top, and Ergonomix, which moves with your body for a softer, teardrop shape.

    From their lower risk of capsular contracture to their ability to hold their shape beautifully, hear all the reasons we decided to bring them to our patients.

    Natrelle or Motiva? We love both. The right choice depends on your anatomy, preferences, and goals. During your consultation, we’ll walk you through the differences and help you decide what feels best. Picking your perfect implant is a true team effort.

  • Still GLP-1-dering About Weight Loss Medications?

    Still GLP-1-dering About Weight Loss Medications?
    Aug 7 2025
    See what we did there? If you’re struggling with weight and wondering if GLP-1s could be your answer, Dr. Houssock and Lindsey break down everything to expect from your first consult, like BMI requirements, lab work, and how we safely adjust your dose along the way.

    Once used to treat diabetes, GLP-1 medications are now revolutionizing weight loss, helping people shed pounds after nothing else works. These prescriptions quiet cravings and regulate blood sugar, often leading to results once only possible with surgery.

    Find out why protein is so important, why patience pays off, and why your path (and your dose) should be as unique as you are.

    if you need to hit a certain weight before moving forward with surgery like liposuction or a tummy tuck, or if weight loss leaves you with loose skin, we’ll tell you more about how we can help.
