BOTOX®
In Tucson, AZ
Fine lines and wrinkles can form over time from repeated facial movements such as smiling, frowning, or raising your eyebrows. These expression lines often appear around the eyes, forehead, and between the brows, making you look older or more tired than you feel. Botox® is a safe, FDA-approved cosmetic procedure that softens these lines, refreshes your appearance, and restores smoother skin without surgery.
At James Rough, M.D. Plastic Surgery in Tucson, Botox is performed by NP-Claudia Rough, a skilled nurse practitioner injector who specializes in creating natural-looking results. Her gentle approach ensures that patients look rested, youthful, and confident—never “frozen.”
READY TO GET STARTED?
Are you distressed about fine lines or wrinkles present on your brow area and in the skin tissue around your eyes? Commonly called dynamic lines, these skin issues occur due to repeated facial expressions. As we age, these wrinkles often persist and can make us appear worn out. Thanks to Botox, it is now possible to temporarily minimize the development of moderate to severe frown lines, forehead lines, and Crow's feet. Derived from a specialized type A strain of botulinum toxin, Botox temporarily blocks the muscles that assist with those contractions, allowing the overlying skin to recover over time.
At James Rough, M.D. Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. James Rough performs Botox as a minimally invasive cosmetic solution for patients to achieve a smoother, refreshed appearance. Reach out to our location in Tucson, AZ, to learn more about Botox.
Throughout your first consultation, Dr. Rough will examine your facial skin to determine which areas require treatment. Since Botox is provided during a quick, outpatient service, your injections can often be carried out in the same appointment. The formula will be placed into the specified areas of your forehead or upper face using a small syringe. Botox treatment takes approximately 15 – 20 minutes to complete, and most patients notice only minor discomfort (such as a pinching or pinprick feeling). After your session, you are welcome to leave our Tucson, AZ practice and carry on with your daily activities, but you must avoid strenuous activity for up to 24 hours.

Botox® and Dysport® are both FDA-approved neuromodulators that temporarily relax the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines and crow’s feet. While they work similarly, Dysport® tends to spread more easily, which can make it a good option for treating larger areas like the forehead, while Botox may offer more precision in smaller zones. Both have their benefits, and the best choice depends on your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. We’ll help you select the best product or combination of products for your needs.
Botox® and dermal fillers both reduce signs of aging, but they work in different ways. Botox temporarily relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles from facial expressions, while dermal fillers restore lost volume and smooth out deeper lines by adding structure beneath the skin. Each has its benefits, and they’re often used together for a more complete facial rejuvenation.
