Treatments in
Scottsdale, Arizona.
At Rēsa Medical Aesthetics in Scottsdale, Arizona, we offer precision neurotoxin treatments using Botox and Dysport, two of the most trusted names in aesthetic medicine. Whether you are treating existing lines or getting ahead of the aging process with preventative care, our expert approach delivers smooth, natural-looking results that never look overdone. Neurotoxins are one of the most requested treatments in our practice, and also one of the most frequently done poorly elsewhere. The difference is almost never the product. It is the hands placing it.
Most patients come to us after a bad experience somewhere else: a frozen forehead, an uneven brow, a result that faded strangely at the six-week mark. Neurotoxin treatment looks simple from the outside, a few small injections, but the anatomy underneath is anything but simple. Every face moves differently, and understanding exactly how your muscles pull and where they attach is what separates a soft, natural result from an obviously done one.

Why Choose Rēsa Medical Aesthetics
Why Choose Rēsa Medical Aesthetics
for Neurotoxin Treatments?
Expertise and Precision
Heidi Jackson brings deep medical expertise and a refined aesthetic eye to every injection. We assess your facial movement and anatomy before placing a single unit, because technique matters as much as product. Heidi watches how your face moves at rest and in motion, not just in a static photo, before deciding where the product goes.
Customized Solutions
Everyone's face moves differently. We customize dosing and placement to match your unique anatomy and desired outcome, whether that is a subtle softening or a more noticeable result. Two patients with the same concern can leave with completely different treatment plans, because their faces are not the same.
Premium Products
We use only FDA-approved neurotoxins with a well-established safety and efficacy record. Your health is always the first consideration, and we never substitute unregulated or imported products to cut costs.
Comfort and Safety
Neurotoxin injections are quick and minimally uncomfortable. Most patients describe a brief, mild sensation that passes within seconds, and many say the anticipation is worse than the treatment itself.
Our Neurotoxin Options
Our Neurotoxin Options.
Botox
Botox Cosmetic is one of the most studied and widely used neurotoxins in the world. It works by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles to smooth active wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming. Botox is particularly effective for forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, crow's feet, and neck bands. Its track record is part of why it remains our default recommendation for most new patients.
Dysport
Dysport is known for its fast-acting results and slightly softer spread, making it ideal for larger treatment areas like the forehead. Many patients find it provides a more natural-looking relaxation of expression lines. Results appear quickly and last just as long as Botox. Some patients respond better to one formula than the other, and we will let you know if we think switching makes sense for you.
Neurotoxins work by temporarily blocking the nerve signal that tells a muscle to contract. Less muscle movement means the skin above that muscle stops folding into the same lines over and over, which is what eventually softens both existing wrinkles and the ones that would form next. This is why neurotoxins are most effective on dynamic lines, the ones caused by repeated expression, rather than deep static wrinkles that are already etched into resting skin. For those deeper lines, a neurotoxin paired with a filler or skin treatment often produces a more complete result than either alone.
Common Treatment Areas
Common Treatment Areas.
Forehead Lines
Horizontal lines across the forehead are among the first visible signs of aging. Neurotoxins smooth these lines while preserving natural movement, so you can still look surprised or animated without looking frozen.
Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines)
The vertical lines between the brows that can make you look tired or irritated even when you are not. Neurotoxins relax the responsible muscles and soften these lines significantly.
Crow's Feet
The fine lines that fan out from the corners of your eyes. Neurotoxins smooth these while keeping your smile natural and expressive.
Preventative Care
You do not have to wait for lines to appear before starting neurotoxin treatments. Many patients in their 20s and 30s use neurotoxins preventatively, at lower doses, to slow line formation before it becomes permanent. This is often referred to as baby Botox, and it is one of our fastest growing categories of patients.
The Treatment Experience
The Treatment Experience.
Consultation
We start by discussing your concerns and goals. We will assess your facial movement and anatomy to design a treatment plan tailored to your unique face.
Treatment
Injections take just 10 to 15 minutes. Fine needles are used to minimize discomfort. Most patients describe a brief pinch that dissipates quickly.
Aftercare
No downtime is required. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and lying flat for 4 hours post-treatment. Initial results appear within 3 to 5 days and full results are visible at 2 weeks.

What to Expect as Results Develop.
First Few Days
Do not judge your results in the first few days. Neurotoxins take time to fully settle, and asymmetry in the first week is common and usually temporary.
Two-Week Mark
If something still looks uneven at the two week mark, we want to see you for a complimentary touch up rather than have you live with it. This is a normal part of the process, not a sign that anything went wrong.
Ongoing Maintenance
Results typically last 3 to 4 months. Dose is duration. If your results are fading sooner than expected, it may mean your dose should be adjusted. We will work with you to find your ideal maintenance schedule.
Common Questions
FAQs.
How long do neurotoxin results last?
Results typically last 3 to 4 months. Dose is duration. If your results are fading sooner than expected, it may mean your dose should be adjusted. We will work with you to find your ideal maintenance schedule.
Is there any downtime?
No. Most patients return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.
Are neurotoxins safe?
Yes, when administered by a trained medical professional using FDA-approved products. Certain individuals should avoid neurotoxins, including those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a history of neurological disease, or have an allergy to cow's milk protein. We review your health history at every consultation.
What is the difference between Botox and Dysport?
Both are effective neurotoxins with similar safety profiles. Dysport may spread slightly more and tends to take effect a bit faster. Botox tends to stay more localized. The best choice depends on the area being treated and your individual anatomy. We will help you decide which is right for you.
Will I look frozen?
Not if it is done well. Overdone results usually come from too much product placed without regard for how your specific face moves. Our approach favors softening over freezing, and we would rather bring you back for a touch up than start heavy.
When should I start?
There is no universal right age. Some patients start in their late 20s to prevent lines from setting in, while others wait until their late 30s or 40s when lines are already visible. We will give you our honest opinion at your consultation rather than a generic answer.
Can I combine neurotoxins with other treatments?
Yes. Neurotoxins pair well with dermal fillers, microneedling, and PRP. Many patients build a combination plan that addresses movement lines, volume loss, and skin quality together.
