Next Wednesday, November 18, is BOTOX Cosmetic Day, the one day a year Allergan runs its biggest offer. The mechanics are simple. Starting at 12 pm Eastern (10 am in El Paso), Allē members can buy a $50 BOTOX Cosmetic gift card online at alle.com/botoxcosmeticday and get a second $50 card free. One purchase per member, while supplies last. The cards land in your Allē Wallet, stack with your Allē points, and do not expire.
At Southwest Plastic Surgery the front desk applies Allē codes at checkout like any other Allē offer, so the practical advice is to buy the cards at 10 am on the 18th and book your treatment whenever suits you; the cards wait. There is also a November referral offer: a friend who joins Allē, books a consultation and is treated by November 30 gets $50 off, and so do you. Full terms are in the Allē app.
That is the deal. What follows is what Dr. Frank Agullo says about the treatment itself, because a gift card changes the price. It does not change the plan.
Why He Treats It as Maintenance, Not an Event
Dr. Agullo is a patient as well as the injector’s supervising surgeon, and he is candid about his own schedule.
“It really is a maintenance therapy. I myself get botulinum toxin in the forehead, crow’s feet, and glabella lines every three to four months, just to maintain the wrinkle free appearance with a dose that still lets me express my face without looking abnormal. I believe the skin quality in these areas is also maintained with the use of botulinum toxin.”
“Patients really like the results, and that’s why they keep coming back to get the botulinum toxin injections.”
A gift card that does not expire fits that rhythm. Buy it on the 18th, use it at your next maintenance visit.
The Dose Is Set in the Consultation, Not by the Offer
Every BOTOX Cosmetic Day brings first-timers who ask how many units $100 buys. Dr. Agullo’s answer is that the number comes from the exam, not the receipt.
“Patients also need to understand that a lot of things matter in regard to how long the Botox treatment will last. Dose, dilution, injection placement, and product choice matter more than whether you are active or inactive. These are all customized depending on each patient’s consultation. For example, patients with very strong frontalis muscles, glabellar muscles, or masseters will require a higher dose than others.”
Under-dosing a strong frown muscle to make a card stretch is how a treatment “stops working” at six weeks. The gift card comes off the bill after the right dose is chosen, not before.
What Is in the Syringe
A deal day is also when discount vials show up in inboxes. Dr. Agullo typed out the practice’s chain of custody for a post last month, and it applies on November 18 like any other day.
“We buy directly from the manufacturers, Galderma, Allergan, and Evolus. The toxin is shipped to us directly from them in temperature controlled containers. The vials are stored in a medical temperature controlled refrigerator that is monitored 24 hours a day for temperature variations.”
“We record the lot number and toxin information in every chart and encounter. Vials come sealed in a box with holograms. The lot number on the box matches the vial. All the toxins are reconstituted according to manufacturer FDA approved instruction. We do not use a middle man or discount pharmacy to order our toxins.”
“Botulinum toxin are reconstituted and administered by registered aesthetic nurses, nurse practitioners supervised by Dr. Agullo. Dr. Agullo also administers the treatments. Patients can see the vial at any time.”
And the reason it matters:
“The danger with counterfeit products is that we only find out because they go to the ED because of severe life threatening complications. Some counterfeit products result in no result at all because they do not contain the botulinum toxin. We see a good number of patients where the botulinum toxin is incorrectly applied resulting in eyelid droopiness, brow droopiness, and uneven smiles.”

The Day-Of Rules Are the Same
Dr. Agullo’s aftercare advice does not get a holiday either.
“I do ask patients not to exercise for twenty-four hours after a botulinum toxin injection, but this is not because it is going to wear off sooner. It is because I want the solution to stay exactly where I injected it, and strenuous exercise immediately after an injection could increase the risk of the product migrating, complications, and swelling.”
The practice’s full range of toxin treatments, from hyperhidrosis to masseter slimming, is in Beyond Wrinkles. Dr. Agullo’s own take on what a deal day should and should not change is on Dr. WorldWide, and the surgical-side version, for patients deciding between toxin and a brow or eyelid procedure, is on Agullo Plastic Surgery.
