I am being charged $46.00 per CC for botox. How far will 1 cc go? I am going to new doctor for Botox and they quoted me $46.00 per cc, not per unit. How far will 1 cc go. I see people saying they get 20 or 30 units and they are chraged like $18.00 per unit. What is the difference between a unit and a cc?
The active measure of how strong the Botox is, is the unit. You can change the cc's, use more or less for one area (eg, my doctor charges me X for the forehead- it could be 5 units or 20 units depending on what is used). I would really question anyone who would sell Botox for $46 per cc. The highest dilution accepted for cosmetic Botox is 4 cc, and this would mean that he/she were selling Botox injections for much less than they even bought it for. Therefore, this person is using a formula for the Botox that is not accepted in the medical community. One vial of Botox is 100 Units and most doctors dilute that with 1-3 cc of fluid.
