BOTOX Cosmetic is the world’s most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment. At Arizona Eye Institute, our certified aesthetic laser nurse Roxanne Dorty, RN, administers BOTOX with the precision and expertise you’d expect from a practice led by an ophthalmologist and cosmetic surgeon who specializes in the delicate structures around the eyes.
BOTOX® Cosmetic temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles — the lines that form from years of facial movement. By reducing repeated muscle contractions, BOTOX smooths existing lines and helps prevent new ones from forming. Treatment is quick, with no anesthesia and no downtime. Results typically appear within a few days and last three to four months.
Your BOTOX appointment is performed by Roxanne Dorty, RN. She takes the time to understand your goals and designs a personalized injection plan. The procedure involves a series of small injections using a very fine needle — most patients describe it as a brief pinch. No downtime — you can return to normal activities immediately.
Results begin to appear within a few days. Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for 24 hours. Minor bruising at injection sites is normal and typically resolves within a few hours.
Results typically last three to four months. Regular maintenance treatments are recommended.
Most patients find treatment very tolerable. Any discomfort is brief.
Not when injected by an experienced injector. Our goal is always natural-looking results — smoothed lines while preserving your ability to express yourself.
Results begin appearing within two to five days, with the full effect visible at about one week.
