GlowMD Aesthetics & Wellness Institute

GlowMD Aesthetics & Wellness Institute is a medical spa in Suite 901 of 26077 Nelson Way in Katy, Texas. The business describes itself as a luxury and premium med spa and says it serves women in Katy and the Houston area. Its care is led by physicians and brings aesthetic medicine, wellness and IV therapy together in one practice.

On the aesthetic side, services include treatments for acne, body sculpting, chemical peels, medical grade facials, skin rejuvenation and skin tightening. Dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid and are offered for the lips, cheeks, chin, jawline and nasolabial folds. A filler appointment typically runs from 30 minutes to two hours depending on the areas treated. Results are generally visible right away and may keep refining over two to three weeks, and they can last anywhere from six to 24 months depending on the filler and area. The business also offers microneedling, which it describes as a gradual skin-remodeling treatment, and HydraFacial treatments including the HydraFacial Syndeo.

Neurotoxin treatments use Botox, Dysport or Xeomin to soften frown lines, forehead lines, bunny lines, crow's feet and lip flips. Botox is offered for forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows and crow's feet, and according to the business, Botox Cosmetic is FDA-approved for those uses in adults. Some off-label uses, such as a lip flip, may be discussed and are not suitable for everyone. Each session uses a few small injections and typically takes under 30 minutes, and numbing is usually not used. Noticeable results generally appear within five to seven days and are fullest around two weeks, lasting roughly three to six months. Treatments are performed by nurse injectors or practitioners. Pregnant or nursing clients are not eligible. Clients are asked to come without makeup, avoid alcohol for 24 hours and avoid retinoids for three days beforehand, and afterward to stay upright for four hours, skip exercise for 24 hours and avoid facials for one week.

The wellness services include IV hydration, also called IV drip therapy, and hormone rebalancing, stress management and weight loss. IV drips are made from fluids with electrolytes, minerals, vitamins and nutrients, chosen according to individual needs, and a session typically takes 30 to 90 minutes. Most IV clients report little to no pain when the line is placed and return to normal activities without downtime. How often a client receives IV therapy is individualized, and some receive it as often as weekly. Optional IV therapy and metabolic support can be added to the medical weight loss program. That program is physician-guided and may use semaglutide or tirzepatide, and when appropriate, compounded medications may be prescribed under medical supervision after an evaluation. It includes wellness consultations, lifestyle and nutrition guidance, progress monitoring and ongoing clinical support, with visits usually weekly or every two weeks. Individuals with a BMI of 25 or higher, or with weight management challenges, may qualify.

Consultations are available for aesthetics at $50 and for medical weight loss at $99, each listed as one hour. Affirm payment plans are offered, subject to eligibility, and telehealth is available. Hours are Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with Tuesday and Thursday open until 7:00 PM, Saturday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and closed on Sunday. The phone number is (346) 214-2340.
