Precision Beauty: Inside Paragon’s Neurotoxin Approach
Turn back time with precision aesthetic treatments that smooth fine lines and restore a refreshed, natural appearance. Neurotoxin injectables like Botox and Dysport work by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that create wrinkles – softening expression lines while preserving your natural ability to show emotion. Each treatment is expertly administered by our skilled providers and designed to deliver subtle, age-defying results that help you look as vibrant as you feel.

Science, Artistry
and Natural Results
At Paragon Sports Medicine, we believe aesthetic treatments should enhance your natural beauty, not change who you are. Neurotoxin injectables represent the gold standard in non-surgical facial rejuvenation – combining medical precision with artistic technique to soften wrinkles while maintaining authentic facial expression. When expertly injected into specific facial muscles, neurotoxins temporarily block nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. This targeted relaxation allows wrinkles to smooth out naturally while preserving the subtle movements that make your expressions uniquely yours. The result is not a frozen or artificial appearance, but a refreshed, naturally youthful look that reflects how you feel inside.

The Science Behind Smooth,
Youthful Skin
Neurotoxin injectables work by temporarily interrupting the communication between nerves and muscles. The science is elegant and proven:
Acetylcholine Blockade
Neurotoxins prevent the release of acetylcholine, the chemical messenger that tells facial muscles to contract.
Muscle Relaxation
Without the signal to contract, the targeted muscles gradually relax over 3-7 days following treatment.
Wrinkle Smoothing
As the muscles relax, the overlying skin smooths out, reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and fine lines.
Natural Expression Preservation
Strategic dosing and placement ensure surrounding muscles maintain normal function for authentic facial movement.
Gradual, Natural-Looking Results
Effects develop progressively over the first two weeks, creating subtle improvements that others notice without knowing why you look so refreshed.


From Prevention to Correction:
Neurotoxin Applications
Whether you're proactively preventing the formation of deep wrinkles or softening existing lines that have developed over years, neurotoxin injectables offer a proven, non-surgical solution. Clinical studies demonstrate that regular neurotoxin treatments not only smooth existing wrinkles but can actually prevent new lines from forming. Unlike topical treatments that work only on the skin's surface, neurotoxins address the underlying muscle activity that creates wrinkles. Most patients notice visible smoothing within 3-7 days, with optimal results appearing at 2 weeks. Results typically last 3-4 months, with many patients maintaining their refreshed appearance through regular maintenance treatments.
Neurotoxin injectables have demonstrated remarkable effectiveness for a wide range of aesthetic concerns:

Proven Safety Record
Neurotoxins like Botox and Dysport have been used for decades with an extensive safety profile. FDA-approved for cosmetic use with millions of treatments performed annually.
Preventative Anti-Aging
Regular treatments can actually prevent wrinkles from deepening by training muscles to contract less forcefully, preserving smoother skin long-term.
Natural-Looking Results

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
About Neurotoxin Injectables
At Paragon, your neurotoxin treatments are performed by highly trained medical providers with extensive experience in facial anatomy and aesthetic medicine. NP Jordan Carney and Dr. Ched Garten take a conservative, artistic approach – focusing on natural enhancement rather than overdone results. We invest time in understanding your aesthetic goals, analyzing your unique facial structure, and developing a personalized treatment plan. Our providers stay current with the latest injection techniques and attend ongoing advanced training to deliver the highest standard of care. The Paragon difference is in the details: precise dosing, strategic placement, and a commitment to results that look like you, just refreshed.
Both Botox and Dysport are neurotoxin injectables that work through the same mechanism – temporarily relaxing facial muscles to smooth wrinkles. The primary differences lie in their formulation and diffusion patterns. Dysport has a slightly faster onset (2-3 days vs. 3-5 days) and may spread more, which can be advantageous for treating larger areas like the forehead. Botox is more concentrated and precise, ideal for smaller, targeted areas. During your consultation, your provider will recommend the best option based on the treatment area, your muscle strength, and your previous experience with injectables. Many patients achieve excellent results with either product.
The actual injection process takes just 10-15 minutes. You can schedule a treatment during your lunch break and return to work immediately. There's no downtime required, though we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, lying down, or touching the treated areas for 4 hours post-treatment. Some patients experience minor redness or small bumps at injection sites that resolve within an hour. Rare bruising may occur but can easily be covered with makeup.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort. We use ultra-fine needles and can apply ice or topical numbing cream to maximize comfort. The entire injection process typically takes less than a minute per treatment area. Any discomfort is brief and well-tolerated by the vast majority of patients. Most patients describe the sensation as a small pinch or pressure, similar to a bug bite.
Dosing varies based on the treatment area, your muscle strength, gender, and desired outcome. Common ranges include: forehead lines (10-30 units), frown lines (15-25 units), and crow's feet (8-16 units per side). During your consultation, your provider will assess your facial muscles and recommend appropriate dosing. We believe in starting conservatively – it's always possible to add more at a follow-up appointment, but starting with too much can't be easily reversed.
You'll begin noticing subtle smoothing within 3-5 days, with full results apparent at 10-14 days. The effects typically last 3-4 months, though this varies by individual. Factors affecting duration include metabolism, muscle strength, lifestyle, and how frequently you've had treatments. Many patients find that with regular treatments, results may last slightly longer as the muscles become trained to contract less forcefully.
Absolutely. Neurotoxins work synergistically with other treatments like dermal fillers, PRP facials, IV therapy, and medical-grade skincare. Many patients combine treatments for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Your provider can develop an integrated treatment plan that addresses multiple concerns for optimal, natural-looking results.
Not when treatments are performed correctly by experienced providers. The "frozen" look occurs when too much product is used or when injection placement is inappropriate. At Paragon, we prioritize natural results that allow you to maintain full range of expression while softening unwanted lines. Our philosophy is "less is more" – we'd rather have you return for additional units than overtreat initially. You should still be able to raise your eyebrows, smile naturally, and show authentic emotion.
