BOTOX® Cosmetic can soften frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet, and other wrinkles caused by repeated facial movement. The quality of the result, however, depends on more than the number of units injected. Placement, muscle balance, and restraint determine whether the face looks refreshed or overtreated.
Dr. Bogue personally performs every BOTOX® injection. He evaluates how each patient’s facial muscles move and adjusts the treatment pattern to soften unwanted lines while preserving natural expression.
BOTOX® is priced by treatment area, and the complimentary consultation and one-week follow-up with any appropriate touch-up are included. Same-day treatment may be available when Dr. Bogue is in the office.

BOTOX® Cosmetic FAQs
How Does BOTOX® Cosmetic Work?
BOTOX® temporarily blocks the release of acetylcholine, the chemical messenger that tells a muscle to contract. Without that signal, the treated muscle stops moving.
When the muscle no longer repeatedly creases the overlying skin, dynamic wrinkles become less visible and the skin appears smoother. Dr. Bogue selects the injection points and amount based on each patient’s facial movement and muscle strength. Because BOTOX® treats wrinkles caused by muscle movement rather than facial volume loss, some deeper folds or areas of lost fullness may be better treated with dermal fillers.
The effects may begin within three to five days and generally last four to six months.
What Areas Does Dr. Bogue Treat With BOTOX®?
Dr. Bogue uses BOTOX® for selected cosmetic concerns involving the upper face:
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Bunny lines along the upper nose
Treatment is customized according to each patient’s muscle strength, movement, and brow position. Dr. Bogue selects only the areas that can be treated without disrupting natural facial balance.
How Much Does BOTOX® Cost at Dr. Bogue’s Boca Raton Practice?
Dr. Bogue charges a flat rate of $250 per treatment area:
- Crow’s feet: $250
- Glabella between the eyebrows: $250
- Forehead: $250
- All three areas: $750
Dr. Bogue’s approach is to treat the responsible muscle and the resulting wrinkles—not to sell a predetermined number of units. Whether an area requires 10 units or 50 units, the price remains the same.
Every injection is performed personally by Dr. Bogue. The cosmetic consultation and complimentary one-week follow-up and touch-up are included.
Is BOTOX® Cosmetic Safe?
BOTOX® Cosmetic has an established safety record when properly selected patients are treated with appropriate doses and precise injection placement. Common temporary effects include redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, headache, or an unwanted cosmetic effect such as brow or eyelid drooping.
BOTOX® should not be injected into an area with an active infection or given to someone with a known allergy to a botulinum toxin product. Patients should tell Dr. Bogue about neurologic or muscular conditions, medications, prior botulinum toxin treatments, pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
Serious reactions are uncommon, but patients should seek immediate medical care for difficulty swallowing, speaking, or breathing. Dr. Bogue reviews each patient’s medical history before treatment to determine whether BOTOX® is appropriate.
When Will I See Results, and How Long Does BOTOX® Last?
Patients may begin to see improvement within three to five days as the treated muscles stop moving. The result may continue to develop over the following days.
BOTOX® generally lasts four to six months. Muscle movement gradually returns as the effect wears off, and treatment can be repeated when the unwanted movement and wrinkles begin to reappear. Results and treatment intervals vary between patients.
Most patients choose to have BOTOX® treatments two to four times per year to maintain their results.
Are BOTOX® Injections Painful, and Is There Any Downtime?
Most patients tolerate BOTOX® injections very well. Dr. Bogue ices the treatment areas before using a fine needle to make several small injections. Patients generally describe the sensation as a brief pinch.
A small bump is usually visible immediately after each injection but typically disappears within about 20 minutes. Patients should not massage the treated areas, helping the BOTOX® remain where Dr. Bogue placed it.
There is no required recovery period, and most patients can return to work or normal daily activities immediately. However, Dr. Bogue asks patients to avoid working out for the remainder of the treatment day. Occasional bruising can occur.
Will BOTOX® Make My Face Look Frozen?
BOTOX® stops movement in the muscles that are injected, but it does not have to eliminate natural facial expression. The result depends on which muscles are treated, where the injections are placed, and how much product is used.
Dr. Bogue evaluates the way each patient’s face moves and treats only the muscles responsible for the unwanted wrinkles. Careful placement allows the treated areas to appear smoother while maintaining balance and expression throughout the rest of the face.
