GlycanAge Testing

What’s Your Real Age?
Includes comprehensive interpretation and a printed report summary – $499

Icon Aesthetics in Parkersburg offers more than traditional wellness evaluations—we examine how your cells are actually aging. Through GlycanAge testing, we measure biological age using proven scientific methods that analyze glycans, specialized inflammation markers found on immune cells. This provides a much more accurate picture of your health than simply counting birthdays.

Unlike chronological age, which only measures time, GlycanAge shows the accurate effects of your diet, stress management, lifestyle choices, and immune system health on cellular aging. A simple blood sample allows this technology to study glycosylation patterns—important biomarkers connected to inflammation, immune function, and disease risk.

This testing answers essential questions about your health: Is my body aging at a normal rate? How significantly does stress impact my wellness? Are my current habits helping or hurting my aging process? Following laboratory analysis, you receive a comprehensive report that shows your biological age, immune system health, inflammation markers, and personalized recommendations to help slow or reverse cellular aging.

Perfect for those who want to take charge of healthy aging, improve performance, or track how diet, exercise, supplements, and hormonal treatments impact their long-term wellness. Many Parkersburg patients repeat testing each year to measure progress and adjust their health strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is GlycanAge testing?

GlycanAge measures how your body ages at the cellular level by studying glycans—sugar molecules on immune cells—that show inflammation, immune health, and overall wellness.

What makes biological age different from regular age?

Regular age counts the years you’ve lived, while biological age measures your body’s actual condition using cellular markers. A lower biological age than your real age means better health and slower aging.

Which markers does the test analyze?

GlycanAge studies glycosylation patterns on Immunoglobulin G (IgG), a major immune protein. These patterns are directly linked to inflammation, stress, and lifestyle factors, including diet, sleep, and exercise.

What sample is needed for testing?

The test uses a small fingerstick blood sample that gets sent to a specialized lab. The collection is simple and happens right here in our Parkersburg office.

How long will it take to receive my results?

You can expect results in 2–3 weeks. Your report provides an assessment of your biological age, inflammation levels, and personalized lifestyle recommendations to help you improve your aging process.

Who should get GlycanAge testing?

Anyone interested in proactive health, longevity, or better performance can benefit. It’s beneficial for people with a family history of age-related diseases, chronic inflammation, or those undergoing hormone therapy or lifestyle changes.

Can changing my lifestyle affect my GlycanAge results?

Yes! Your biological age responds well to lifestyle improvements. Better sleep, nutrition, stress management, exercise, and supplements can enhance your GlycanAge results—making it an effective tool for tracking your wellness progress.

How often should I retest?

Most Parkersburg patients retest yearly to track improvements and adjust their lifestyle and treatment plans. Some test more often when making significant health changes.

Will insurance pay for GlycanAge testing?

GlycanAge is a self-pay wellness service that insurance typically doesn’t cover. Many patients see it as a wise investment in preventive health and longevity.

What Our patients
Say

I cannot say enough about Hiatt from my very first visit, she has been nothing short of amazing. She truly listens to your concerns and offers thoughtful, personalized recommendations without any pressure. I appreciated that she gave me options to consider and explained clearly, making the decision process feel empowering and stress-free.

The clinic offers flexible payment options which made chosen procedure much more accessible. After careful consideration, I decided to move forward with a few cosmetic treatments. Hiatt was incredibly gentle throughout the entire process, always checking to make sure I was comfortable. Her technique is precise and her bedside manner is warm and reassuring.

She follows up after the procedure to see how you are doing. I felt completely supported every step of the way. I am now two weeks post- procedure, and I'm thrilled with my results. I look natural and refreshed, exactly what I had hoped for. I highly recommend her to anyone considering cosmetic treatments.
