Getting here from Columbia

6.4 miles, about 12 minutes

Getting to us from Columbia means a short run north on US-29, then a hop onto US-40 near exit 24B, roughly the same route whether you start in Town Center or out toward River Hill. At our Ellicott City suite, The Body Bar MD keeps a physician's plan behind every aesthetic visit: Dr. Mohamad Zanbrakji, board-certified in general surgery, reviews the details before treatment begins. Every consultation opens by video or phone, so a written plan exists before your first drive up Route 29, and Wednesday or Sunday hours run until 6 PM when a weekday slot won't fit.

Why patients from Columbia make the drive

  • A physician plans it

    Dr. Mohamad Zanbrakji, a board-certified surgeon, is our Medical Director. Every aesthetic plan is set under his oversight, not a device preset.

  • One laser, every skin tone

    The Candela GentleMax Pro Plus carries two wavelengths, 755 nm for lighter skin and 1064 nm for deeper skin tones, chosen for your skin before treatment starts.

  • Your plan before the drive

    Consultations happen by video or phone, so the only trip from Columbia is the one for treatment itself.

  • Hours that fit the trip

    Open Sundays, and until 6 PM on Wednesdays and Sundays, about 12 minutes from Columbia with easy parking.

Columbia, up close

Care that fits Columbia

Columbia's route in starts from Little Patuxent Parkway in Town Center: north on Rouse Parkway to US-29, then the US-40 West exit at 24B, about 6.4 miles and 12 minutes with clear roads. That interchange is the one stretch that slows down, so a Wednesday or Sunday visit, when hours run to 6 PM, can beat weekday traffic there. Wherever you're coming from in Columbia, Wilde Lake, Owen Brown, Long Reach, Kings Contrivance or River Hill, you feed onto that same US-29 corridor before the last turn onto US-40. Because the first conversation happens by video or phone, that drive only has to happen once you already have a plan in hand. If a laser hair removal course or a Morpheus8 plan calls for several visits, knowing the route and the later Wednesday and Sunday hours ahead of time makes each one easier to fit around a full week.

Good to know

Before you come in from Columbia

  1. 01

    Time your drive around the US-29/US-40 interchange

    Free-flow from Little Patuxent Parkway in Town Center, the route is about 6.4 miles and 12 minutes north on US-29 to the US-40 West exit at 24B. That interchange is the spot that slows down on weekday afternoons, so a Wednesday or Sunday appointment, when we're open until 6 PM, is often the easier drive.

  2. 02

    Same route from any village

    Wilde Lake, Owen Brown, Long Reach, Kings Contrivance and River Hill all funnel onto US-29 before the US-40 exit, so wherever you're starting in Columbia, the last stretch of the drive looks the same as it does from Town Center.

  3. 03

    One consult, then a plan for every visit after

    Your first conversation happens by video or phone, so you're not driving in just to talk. If a laser hair removal course or a Morpheus8 plan calls for several appointments, that plan also tells you how many trips up US-29 to expect and which of those can land on a later Wednesday or Sunday slot.

Columbia FAQs

Visiting from Columbia

Is there a Body Bar MD location in Columbia itself?

No. The only Body Bar MD address is our Ellicott City suite, 9050 Baltimore National Pike Ste 104, about 6.4 miles and 12 minutes from Columbia Town Center north on US-29 and west across US-40.

How long does the drive from Columbia actually take?

About 12 minutes free-flow from Town Center; add time during weekday rush hour at the US-29/US-40 interchange. Measured from the center of the wider Columbia area, figure closer to 7.7 miles and a bit more time.

Do I need to come in for a first appointment?

No. Every relationship starts with a phone or video conversation, not an office visit, so the only reason to make the trip up US-29 is because a plan is already in place and you're ready for treatment.

How do you choose the right laser setting for my skin?

At your visit, not before it. The GentleMax Pro Plus platform carries a 1064 nm Nd:YAG for deeper tones and a 755 nm Alexandrite for lighter ones, and which one we use depends on how your skin actually looks in the room.

Is parking easy at your Ellicott City suite?

Yes, parking at Suite 104 is easy.

Can I finish a laser hair removal course without missing work?

Usually, yes. Appointments run Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 10 AM to 4 PM, and Wednesday and Sunday until 6 PM, so a laser course's several sessions can be spaced around a workweek instead of taking a day off each time.

Why drive to Ellicott City instead of a med spa closer to Columbia?

Ellicott City is our only location, so every patient, wherever in Columbia they start, makes the same drive. What that trip gets you: Dr. Mohamad Zanbrakji, a board-certified general surgeon, reviews the plan before treatment, the first conversation happens by video or phone before you ever drive up US-29, and Wednesday and Sunday hours run until 6 PM for a schedule that doesn't leave room for a weekday trip.
