Hello, I’m Rosalie Orrostieta, founder of Rose Medical Aesthetics and a nurse practitioner dedicated to the art and science of aesthetic medicine here in Sarasota.
My goal is to be your expert guide to the world of injectable treatments. These procedures are the key to achieving “effortless elegance”—a refreshed, natural look that enhances your unique beauty, rather than changing it.
Whether we are precisely softening expression lines or restoring youthful volume with advanced options like Botox®, PCDC/Fat Dissolving, Hyperdilute Radiesse, Dermal fillers, my philosophy is constant: to deliver beautiful, confidence-boosting results. This guide will walk you through how these treatments work and help you discover the perfect path for your aesthetic goals.
Your Beauty, Our Expertise
When I decided to open my own practice, I had a very clear vision. It was born from countless conversations with patients who felt unheard or rushed elsewhere. They worried about looking “frozen” or “overdone.” I remember one woman telling me, “I just want to look less tired, Rosalie. I don’t want my grandkids to ask me why I’m frowning when I’m not!”
That story stuck with me. It became the foundation of my philosophy: artistry must always meet medicine.
This is about more than just credentials on a wall, though those are critically important. My background as a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) with a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) is the bedrock of my practice. It means that your safety, your health, and your well-being are my absolute top priorities. Every treatment is a medical procedure, and it deserves that level of respect and expertise.
But beyond the science, there’s an art to this work. It’s the art of listening to your story, understanding the “why” behind your visit, and seeing the unique canvas of your face. It’s about a delicate touch and a deep appreciation for natural anatomy. My goal is for you to leave my office with friends and family saying, “You look amazing! So refreshed,” not, “What did you have done?”
That is the true gold standard, and it’s the promise I make to every single person who walks through my door.
Our Suite of Injectable Treatments: A Curated Menu for You
Think of this as my personal toolkit—a collection of the most trusted, effective, and transformative injectable treatments available today. Each one has a unique purpose, and part of the joy of my work is finding the perfect one (or combination) for your specific goals.
Neuromodulators: Smoothing Away Lines
These are often the first introduction people have to injectables, and for good reason! Products like BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport®, and Xeomin® are incredible at softening “dynamic” wrinkles—the ones that appear when you express yourself, like crow’s feet from smiling or the “11s” between your brows from concentrating.
They don’t freeze your face; they simply relax the specific, tiny muscles that cause these deep lines to form. The result is a smoother, more serene canvas. It’s no wonder that, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, these treatments consistently rank as the #1 minimally invasive procedure in the U.S. They are a true game-changer.
| Feature | BOTOX® Cosmetic | Dysport® | Xeomin® |
| Primary Use | Forehead lines, crow’s feet, “11s” | Forehead lines, “11s” | Forehead lines, “11s” |
| Onset of Results | 5 – 7 days | 2 – 3 days | 4 – 6 days |
| Typical Duration | 3 – 4 months | 3 – 4 months | 3 months |
| Unique Feature | Most well-known brand | Spreads slightly more (good for larger areas) | “Naked” injectable with no additive proteins |
Dermal Fillers: Restoring Volume and Contour
As we age, we naturally lose some of the youthful volume in our faces, particularly in the cheeks and under the eyes. Dermal fillers, which are typically made from hyaluronic acid (a substance your body naturally produces), are my go-to for beautifully restoring that lost structure.
I think of them like an artist’s clay. With the JUVÉDERM® and Restylane® families of fillers, I can subtly lift the cheeks, soften smile lines, define the jawline, or add a touch of pillowy softness to the lips.
Then there are biostimulators like Sculptra® Aesthetic and Radiesse®. These are truly remarkable because they go a step further. Instead of just adding volume directly, they stimulate your own body to produce more of its own collagen. This creates a gradual, incredibly natural-looking rejuvenation that can last for two years or more. Patient satisfaction with fillers is overwhelmingly high for a reason—a recent study in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal found that over 90% of people were thrilled with their results.
Your Journey to Radiance: What to Expect
The idea of a needle can be intimidating, I completely understand. That’s why I’ve designed the entire experience to be one of comfort, collaboration, and trust.
Step 1: Our Conversation
It all starts with a chat. Your consultation is the most important part of the process. This is where you’ll tell me your story. We’ll sit down, you’ll have a cup of tea or water, and we will talk about your goals, your fears, and your hopes. I’ll conduct a careful facial analysis and explain my recommendations. There is never any pressure. This is about education and creating a personalized plan that feels right for you.
Step 2: Your Treatment
On the day of your treatment, my priority is your comfort. We’ll apply a topical numbing cream to ensure the process is as gentle as possible. I’ll talk you through every step of the way. Most treatments are surprisingly quick, often taking just 30 to 45 minutes. You can truly do it on your lunch break!
Step 3: Aftercare and Beautiful Results
After your treatment, you might have some minor swelling or redness, which is completely normal and usually subsides very quickly. I’ll give you simple aftercare instructions to follow. Then, the magic happens. While some results are immediate, others, like with Botox or Sculptra, will gradually appear over the next week or two, revealing a smoother, more radiant you.

Your Questions, Answered
Let’s address some of the questions I hear most often.
- Are injectable treatments painful? With topical numbing cream and a gentle technique, most people report feeling only a tiny pinch. Your comfort is paramount.
- How long do the results last? It varies! Botox and Dysport typically last 3-4 months. Dermal fillers can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the product and the area treated.
- What’s the downtime? For most injectable treatments, there is minimal to no downtime. You can usually return to your daily activities right away, which is why they’re often called “lunchtime procedures.”
- Are injectable treatments safe? This is the most important question, and my answer is an emphatic yes, with a crucial condition: they are safe when performed by a qualified, experienced medical professional. I only use FDA-approved products that have undergone rigorous testing. A 2025 review in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology confirmed the high safety profile of these treatments when administered by a trained expert. Your safety is my non-negotiable priority.
- What qualifications should I look for in an injector? Look for a licensed medical professional, such as a Nurse Practitioner (APRN), Physician Assistant (PA), or Physician (MD), with specific, ongoing training in aesthetic medicine. Don’t be afraid to ask about their experience and to see their own before-and-after photos.
The Future of Injectables: What I’m Excited About
One of the reasons I love this field is that it’s always evolving! I am a perpetual student, constantly attending advanced trainings to bring the very best back to my Sarasota clients. Right now, I’m particularly excited about the trend toward “skin boosters” like Skinvive, which improve overall skin health and glow from within. We’re also seeing incredible results by combining injectables with other treatments like microneedling to tackle concerns from multiple angles. It’s a holistic approach to radiance, and the future has never looked brighter.
