For natural-looking wrinkle reduction and advanced therapeutic care from a physician-led aesthetic team.
At Beso Wellness & Beauty in North Phoenix, BOTOX® Cosmetic and other neuromodulator injections are administered by founder Naomi Fayzulayev, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC, FNP-C — a board-certified family nurse practitioner with 15+ years of nursing experience — and Leah Fayzulayev, BSN, RN, whose focus includes neurotoxins, dermal fillers, and regenerative aesthetics.
Their physician-led approach pairs facial-anatomy expertise with conservative dosing so wrinkles soften without flattening expression.
We serve patients at our practice near Desert Ridge Marketplace, the 101 & 51 interchange, and the Mayo Clinic campus, and we welcome neighbors from North Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Arcadia, Glendale, Peoria, Cave Creek, and Fountain Hills.
What Is BOTOX Cosmetic and How Does It Work?
Botox Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) is a purified protein that works as an injectable neuromodulator. Placed in micro-doses into specific facial muscles, it temporarily quiets the signal that tells those muscles to contract, allowing the overlying skin to relax and smooth.
This mechanism is what separates Botox from dermal fillers. Botox softens dynamic wrinkles, the lines that appear with frowning, squinting, or raising the brows, by easing the muscle activity behind them.
Fillers address static wrinkles by adding volume to lines that show at rest. The two are often used together for fuller facial rejuvenation.
With consistent use, Botox can also help slow the depth to which dynamic lines etch into the skin, making it both a corrective and preventive option.
The Arizona factor: Phoenix averages roughly 299 sunny days per year, and chronic squinting in desert sun can accelerate crow’s feet and forehead lines compared with indoor climates. Many of our patients are looking to address how the Sonoran Desert lifestyle has shaped their expression lines.
Neuromodulator Options at Beso Wellness & Beauty
We offer five FDA-approved neuromodulator brands. Each works through the same mechanism, with subtle molecular differences that may make one a better fit for certain patients or treatment areas:
- Botox Cosmetic – The most widely studied and most commonly requested option.
- Dysport® – Often selected for larger or more diffuse areas; dosed differently (about 3 Dysport units ≈ 1 Botox unit).
- Xeomin® – A “naked” formulation without accessory proteins.
- Jeuveau® – A modern formulation popular for cosmetic use.
- DAXXIFY® – A longer-lasting option in select cases (please confirm current availability at your consultation).
During your consultation, your injector will recommend the best neuromodulator based on your facial anatomy, treatment goals, and prior response to neurotoxins.
What Areas Can BOTOX Treat?
The areas below are the cosmetic and functional treatments offered at our Phoenix clinic. Final unit counts and product selection are determined during your consultation.
| Treatment Area | What It Targets |
|---|---|
| Forehead lines (frontalis) | Horizontal lines that appear when raising the brows. Treated with care to soften lines while maintaining natural brow position. |
| Frown lines / “11s” (glabella) | Vertical creases between the brows from corrugator and procerus muscle activity. |
| Crow’s feet (orbicularis oculi) | Fine lines around the outer corners of the eyes, often more pronounced for Phoenix patients due to chronic squinting in the sun. |
| Bunny lines | Diagonal wrinkles on the sides of the nose that appear with certain expressions. |
| Lip lines (vertical lip lines) | Fine vertical lines above the upper lip that appear with pursing. |
| Chemical brow lift | Strategically placed Botox to gently lift the lateral brow without surgery. |
| Lip flip | Small doses along the upper lip border allow the lip to roll outward subtly. A complement to lip filler or a stand-alone option. |
| Masseter/jaw slimming /TMJ relief | Injections into the masseter to ease jaw clenching, bruxism, and TMJ-related discomfort while softening the lower face contour. |
| Gummy smile correction | Relaxes the muscles that elevate the upper lip during a smile, balancing gum exposure. |
| Downturned mouth corners (DAO) | Targets the depressor anguli oris to lift the corners of the mouth and soften a “resting frown.” |
| Platysmal bands/Nefertiti lift | Relaxes neck bands for a smoother neck contour and improved jawline definition. |
| Underarm hyperhidrosis | Reduces excessive underarm sweating by blocking nerve signals to sweat glands. Results often last longer than those from cosmetic use. |
| Chronic migraine prevention | FDA-approved protocol for chronic migraine (15+ headache days per month). |

Benefits of BOTOX Treatment
For many patients, Botox is one of the simplest ways to address expression lines without surgery or extended downtime. Common reasons our patients choose Botox include:
- Softens dynamic forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet: Smooths the wrinkles created by everyday expressions.
- Non-surgical with minimal downtime: Most patients return to normal activities the same day.
- Customizable planning: Dosing is matched to your facial anatomy and goals; there is no fixed unit count for every patient.
- Functional benefits beyond wrinkles: Masseter Botox may ease jaw clenching and TMJ-related tension; Botox is also FDA-approved for axillary hyperhidrosis and chronic migraine prevention.
- Pairs well with other treatments: Often planned alongside fillers, microneedling, or IPL to address concerns that Botox alone cannot.
Who Is a Good Candidate for BOTOX?
Botox is generally appropriate for healthy adults who notice expression lines forming or deepening, want a non-surgical refresh, or are interested in early prevention. Patients in their late 20s and 30s often start with smaller, preventive doses, while others begin later, once dynamic lines have settled at rest.
Botox may not be appropriate if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a known allergy to botulinum toxin or any ingredient in the product, have an active infection at the planned injection site, or have a neuromuscular condition such as myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome.
Let your provider know about any blood-thinning medications, recent dental work, or recent facial procedures during your consultation. Final candidacy is confirmed at your visit.
How to Prepare for Your Botox Appointment
A few simple steps before your visit can support a smoother experience and help reduce the chance of bruising at injection sites:
- Skip alcohol on the day of treatment: Alcohol can thin the blood and increase the risk of bruising.
- Discuss blood-thinning medications and supplements: Aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E, ginkgo, and similar items can increase bruising. Do not stop prescribed medications without talking to the prescribing provider first.
- Pause active skincare: Retinoids, exfoliating acids, and harsh actives are best paused for at least 24 hours before treatment, or longer if your skin is sensitive.
- Schedule waxing and facials around your visit: Plan waxing, chemical peels, and facials so they fall outside the 24 hours before and 24–48 hours after treatment.
- Come without makeup if possible: A clean, dry face shortens prep time at your visit.
- Share your medical history: Flag pregnancy, breastfeeding, allergies, neuromuscular conditions, recent injectables, and any history of cold sores at injection sites.
What to Expect During Botox Treatment
A typical Botox visit at our Phoenix clinic takes about 15 to 30 minutes from arrival to checkout.
- Personalized assessment: Your injector reviews your medical history and goals, then evaluates your facial movement, muscle strength, and any existing lines at rest and in motion. Together, you choose a neuromodulator and confirm a treatment plan and cost estimate.
- Treatment: The skin is cleansed, and injection points are mapped to your anatomy. Using ultra-fine needles, your injector delivers small, precise doses to the targeted muscles. Most patients tolerate the injections well, and any discomfort is brief; topical numbing is available on request.
- Completed in a single visit: You can leave immediately afterward, with written aftercare instructions in hand.
What to Expect After Botox Treatment
Botox is a low-downtime treatment, but a few short-term precautions help protect your results. To support optimal placement and reduce bruising, we generally ask patients to:
- Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours: Skip the gym, hot yoga, and high-intensity workouts that day.
- Avoid heat for 24 hours: Postpone saunas, hot tubs, hot showers, and direct desert sun exposure where possible.
- Do not rub, massage, or press on treated areas: Avoid facials, professional massage, and microcurrent for 24–48 hours, or longer if your provider advises.
- Stay upright for several hours: Avoid lying flat immediately after treatment.
- Pause active skincare and waxing for at least 24 hours: Hold off on retinoids, exfoliating acids, waxing, chemical peels, and other strong actives until your provider clears you.
Mild redness, swelling, small bumps at injection sites, or pinpoint bruising can occur. These typically settle within 24–48 hours. Follow the personalized aftercare instructions you receive in clinic, and call us if you have questions.
When Will I See Results from BOTOX?
Most patients begin to notice changes within 3 to 5 days. Full results are typically visible around two weeks after treatment, and the wrinkle-softening effect commonly lasts 3 to 4 months. DAXXIFY may last longer in some patients. We are happy to schedule a 2-week follow-up so your provider can review your results and refine if needed.
With consistent maintenance, some patients find that the muscles relax more easily over time, which can extend the comfortable interval between treatments.

Botox vs. Fillers vs. Other Treatments — When to Use What
| Concern | Best Treatment | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet (dynamic wrinkles) | Botox / Neurotoxin | Caused by muscle movement, the neuromodulator relaxes the muscle |
| Nasolabial folds, marionette lines (static wrinkles) | Dermal Fillers | Visible at rest; needs volume rather than muscle relaxation |
| Lip volume and shape | Lip Augmentation (filler) ± lip flip (Botox) | Filler adds volume; a Botox lip flip adds subtle definition |
| Jawline definition | Jawline Enhancement (filler) ± masseter Botox | Filler builds structure; Botox slims the masseter |
| Skin texture, scars, pores | Microneedling or RF Microneedling | Collagen remodeling, Botox does not address skin texture |
| Sun damage, pigmentation | IPL / Photofacial | Light-based treatment targets pigment and vascularity |
| Skin laxity, sagging | PDO Thread Lifts or 8-Point Facelift | Mechanical lift — Botox cannot lift sagging tissue |
| Skin glow, hydration | SkinVive | Hyaluronic acid micro-droplet technology, a different mechanism |
Many patients benefit from combining Botox with fillers, skin treatments, or both for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Your injector will recommend the right combination based on your specific concerns.

FAQs About Botox
How much does Botox cost in Phoenix?
Botox Cosmetic at Beso Wellness & Beauty is $12 per unit. Total cost depends on your treatment areas, muscle strength, and goals. You receive a written estimate during your consultation.
How long does Botox last?
For most patients, Botox results last 3 to 4 months.
When will I see Botox results?

Is Botox painful?
Discomfort is usually minimal. We use ultra-fine needles, and most patients tolerate the injections well. Topical numbing is available on request.
Is there downtime after Botox?
There is no significant downtime. Most patients return to normal activities the same day. Avoid strenuous exercise, heat exposure, and lying flat for 24 hours, and follow your provider's personalized aftercare instructions.
Will Botox make me look frozen or unnatural?
Not when planning is conservative and based on your anatomy. Our team softens dynamic wrinkles while preserving expression. A “frozen” look generally comes from overdosing or imprecise placement, which careful planning helps avoid.
What is the difference between Botox and fillers?
Botox is a neuromodulator that softens dynamic wrinkles by relaxing targeted muscles. Dermal fillers add volume to smooth static wrinkles, restore lost volume, and contour features. Many patients combine the two for fuller results.
Can Botox help with TMJ, jaw clenching, or teeth grinding?
Masseter Botox is one of the more impactful uses of neuromodulators. Many patients experience reduced jaw tension, fewer clenching headaches, and a softer lower-face contour. Whether masseter Botox is right for you is confirmed at your consultation.
Are there any side effects or risks I should know about?
Common, temporary side effects include mild redness, swelling, small bumps at injection sites, and pinpoint bruising. These usually settle within 24 to 48 hours. Less common effects include temporary brow asymmetry, eyelid heaviness, or headache on the first day or two.
All potential risks are reviewed during the informed-consent process before treatment. Contact us if anything feels unusual after your visit.
Can I get Botox while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Botox is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Please let your provider know if either applies; we can discuss alternatives or revisit treatment after this period.
At what age should I start Botox?
There is no fixed “right” age. Some patients begin in their late 20s or early 30s with smaller, preventive doses; others start later, when expression lines become more visible at rest. Your provider will help you decide based on your skin and goals, not your age.
How do I choose between Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau, and DAXXIFY?
All five are FDA-approved neuromodulators that work through the same mechanism, with subtle differences in onset, spread, and longevity. Your injector recommends the option best matched to your anatomy, treatment areas, and history with neurotoxins.
