Anti-Aging & Longevity Institute Laurel MD

The Anti-Aging & Longevity Institute is a medical practice that brings together anti-aging, preventive and family medicine. It has two offices, one in Columbia and one in Laurel, and the Laurel location is next to Howard County General Hospital. The practice describes its care as individualized and patient-centered, and it has operated as a private family practice in these two Maryland locations for more than 20 years.

The comprehensive Anti-Aging Program begins with a consultation that reviews personal and family medical histories. Blood and saliva analyses measure hormone levels such as estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, along with other body chemicals. The program also includes a nutritional assessment and counseling, a complete medical exam, full laboratory testing, and specialty evaluations such as body-fat analysis, lung-function and hearing and vision tests when needed. Clients meet with a nutritionist and a personal fitness trainer, and receive a detailed report with a suggested diet adjustment plan, menus, and vitamin and supplement recommendations. Vitamin, amino acid and antioxidant testing can be added. The site says some anti-aging labs may be covered by insurance, while insurers mainly cover disease treatment rather than preventive medicine, so patients are advised to call ahead to confirm coverage.

For ongoing care, the practice offers a Concierge Medicine annual program and a Custom Care Program with a fixed annual fee for individuals and families. Concierge members get same-day or next-day appointments, extended visits, direct phone or email access to the doctor, and priority scheduling. Custom Care members get guaranteed same-day appointments, a yearly executive physical, and same-day medication refills. Family medicine covers pediatrics from newborns through adolescence, gynecology, internal medicine, same-day sick visits for common acute illnesses, physical exams, travel immunizations and minor surgery. Newborn care is provided in the nursery at Howard County General Hospital.

Cosmetic treatments include Botox and Dysport injections, Restylane, Juvederm and Perlane fillers, mole and skin tag removal, and spider vein injection. Fillers are used to soften the folds between the nose and mouth and to add fullness to the face. Botox and Dysport consultations explain how the injections work and what to expect, and can also check whether hormone balance may be affecting appearance. Hormone therapy and weight programs round out the menu: bioidentical hormones are compounded for each patient by pharmacists with special training, an HCG weight loss program is offered, and a customized Weight Control Treatment is built after lab testing. The practice also offers telemedicine.

The practice describes its philosophy as natural, preventive and regenerative anti-aging care, with programs built around each patient.
