“Since starting my practice, I have relied on BOTOX® Cosmetic. I trust it to deliver subtle and predictable results for my patients,” said Dr. Robert Anolik, Board Certified Dermatologist. “The response for BOTOX® Cosmetic Day and the enthusiasm for treatment that I see in my practice has only strengthened with the holiday and launch of the ‘See Yourself’ campaign. My patients appreciate that the campaign dives into the stories of real BOTOX® Cosmetic patients – people with varying backgrounds and lifestyles from across the country. It has helped to create a supportive, open, and inclusive space for patients in my practice to proudly choose aesthetic treatments for themselves.”

“Each year, my patients look forward to joining in on the celebration and sharing the special offer with a friend or family member because BOTOX® Cosmetic is a treatment that they trust,” said Nancy Pellegrino, Nurse Practitioner. “Being Allē members helps my patients to make the most out of their treatments, earning points and access to exclusive offers, driving excitement all year.”
