BOTOX Cosmetic

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.

  • Frown lines between the brows (glabellar lines)
  • Horizontal forehead lines
  • Crow’s feet at the outer corners of the eyes

What to Expect at Your Appointment

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.

Combining Treatments

BOTOX pairs well with dermal fillers (JUVEDERM, Restylane, Radiesse), laser skin resurfacing, microdermabrasion, or a chemical peel. Our team can design a coordinated treatment plan tailored to your goals and budget.
