Neurotoxins

Smooth Lines, Enhance Beauty, and Restore Confidence

Neurotoxin injections, including Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®, function by interrupting the communication between nerves and facial muscles. This temporary muscle relaxation diminishes visible wrinkles while preventing expression lines from becoming permanently etched into the skin. While these treatments excel at addressing forehead furrows and eye area lines, they also work wonderfully for lifting drooping mouth corners, smoothing perioral lines (particularly when paired with dermal fillers), minimizing neck banding, or creating our popular Nefertiti neck contouring. Treatment benefits typically endure for 3-6 months. Experience the confidence that comes with smoother, more youthful skin! Book your appointment today!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do neurotoxins like Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® work?

These injectable medications temporarily weaken specific facial muscles to reduce existing creases and stop deeper lines from forming. You’ll maintain all your natural expressions just with smoother, more rested-looking skin.

When can I expect to see results from neurotoxins?

Dysport® frequently delivers the fastest visible changes, often noticeable within 2–3 days after injection. Botox® and Xeomin® typically start showing effects around 3–5 days post-treatment. Maximum results for all formulations usually appear within 7–10 days, depending on the product used and the specific area treated.

How long do neurotoxins last?

Most clients enjoy results for about 3–4 months on average. Those with high activity levels or particularly strong facial muscles may metabolize the product more rapidly, while others maintain their improvements for up to 5 months.

Do neurotoxins hurt?

The majority of patients describe the feeling as a quick, mild pinch. We use the smallest possible needles to minimize any discomfort, and a topical anesthetic or cooling can be applied for those with heightened sensitivity. The entire injection process usually takes under 10 minutes.

Will I look frozen or unnatural after a neurotoxin treatment?

Never. Our Parkersburg team focuses exclusively on creating natural-looking improvements. You’ll look refreshed and well-rested while retaining complete facial mobility and expressiveness. Our mission is for friends and family to notice you look fantastic without being able to identify what’s different.

Is there any downtime with neurotoxins?

Downtime is essentially non-existent with these procedures. Nearly all patients resume their regular routines immediately after leaving our office. Minor redness, minimal swelling, or tiny raised areas at injection sites usually resolve within 60 minutes. For the initial 24-hour period, we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, facial massage, lying flat, or alcoholic beverages.

What areas can be treated with neurotoxins?

These versatile injections can improve numerous facial concerns, including horizontal forehead lines, vertical frown lines (glabellar area or “11s”), outer eye wrinkles, diagonal nose lines, upper lip enhancement or gummy smile reduction, jaw muscle relaxation for facial slimming or TMJ relief, chin texture improvement, and vertical neck band reduction.

How much do neurotoxins cost?

We charge $12 per unit for Botox and $4 per unit for Dysport® in our Parkersburg, WV location. Although Dysport® typically requires more units than Botox®, the final cost per treatment area usually remains comparable. Your total expense depends on the number of units needed, which we determine based on your muscle strength and desired outcomes. Most treatment areas fall within the range of $200 to $400.

Can I combine neurotoxins with other treatments?

Absolutely. Neurotoxins work exceptionally well in conjunction with dermal fillers, microneedling treatments, or chemical peels, creating an ideal foundation for multi-modal anti-aging treatment plans.

Are neurotoxins safe?

Definitely, when injected by trained medical professionals, neurotoxins demonstrate excellent safety profiles. They’ve maintained FDA approval for aesthetic use for over two decades, with a well-documented safety record when used appropriately.

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.
