Botox®, Dysport®, & Xeomin Injections in Williamsport, PA

Medically Reviewed by Dr. Boris Gabinskiy, M.D. Last reviewed August 2026.

We all want to look our best. That's not always easy, especially as forehead, eyes and frown lines start to develop. As these creases deepen, they can make us appear old looking or angry, when in fact we actually feel quite content. Neuromodulators such as; Botox^®, Dysport^®, Jeuveau^® and Xeomin^® help to eliminate these perpetual lines and frowning, and help to restore a more serene quality to our faces. Their use allows us to send others the right message, giving them a truer impression of how we feel.

You may be a candidate for neuromodulator injections if you have:

• Fine Lines & wrinkles
• Forehead lines, between the brows, Crow's feet, bunny lines (on the bridge of the nose), corners of the mouth and neck bands.
• Migraines
• Botox shots around your head and neck once every 12 weeks can dull or prevent migraine headaches. We recommend 30-40 units and waiting a few weeks to begin to see result s.
• Excessive Perspiration
• Upper lip, underarms and hands.

HOW BOTOX^® AND OTHER NEUROMODULATORS WORK

Botox^® is the trade name for botulinum toxin type A, one of several different toxins produced by Clostridium bacteria. The bacterium itself is not injected. The injected toxin is a protein manufactured by the bacterium, and when injected, it temporarily paralyzes the muscles underlying wrinkles, smoothing out the skin on top. It inhibits the nerve terminal, so that the muscle will not respond. You literally can't frown after the treatment, but you don't lose sensation or expression. The nerve eventually sprouts a new terminal. Botox is successfully being used in areas of the face, neck, and body worldwide, and to date is safer than the origin suggests.

RECOVERY AND HEALING

Botox^® injections cause almost no redness or swelling. These treatments are commonly performed during patient's lunch break. You may drive yourself to and from the treatments. We do ask that you do NOT lie down for at least three hours after receiving Botox and other neuromodulators. Please refrain from hanging upside down (yoga) and from drinking alcohol the evening of your treatment.

PAIN AND RISK

Botox^® is given with such a tiny needle that there is minimal discomfort involved, but it is a needle. Should patients have an aversion to needles, an analgesic cream is used. There can be a slight chance of minimal and temporary bruising at the injection site. Other negative side effects can be eyelid drooping if the Botox seeps below the eyebrow and hits the muscle that controls the lid, BUT that is very rare. And, it's probably related to the injection technique, and/or the placement or rate of injection. Eye drops can reverse the Botox effect for about six hours. Otherwise, the patient just has to wait until the nerve regenerates.
