Botox Costs

Although most places charge by the unit, I think this can leave people confused and unhappy. I our practice, we charge by the area treated. Each area in the upper face costs $175. Typically treated areas include between the eyebrows (glabella), the forehead, and in the "crow's feet". First-time patient discounts and other specials often apply. There are several benefits to charging by the area: We use as much Botox as is... more

Price of Botox treatment at $10.00 per unit

First of all, be careful chosing the Doctor who will inject the Botox. Most experienced Board Certified Dermatologists and Plastic Surgeons will charge more than $10.00 per unit, although it is possible that you may get very good results at this price. We inject between 14 and 22 units on the brow and 8 to 16 units on the forehead, to start with. We often review the results 2 weeks later, especially for new patients. We can then inject additional... more

No way of knowing. First I'm not sure everyone prices Botox at $10 per unit and if they do, there's no way to tell how many units your forehead would require. In our Beverly Hills/Los Angeles office, we charge $300 per area for Botox and the forehad takes typically 2 areas for a total cost of $600.

Cost of Botox

Thank you for your question. Yes, it can be confusing because some places charge per unit, some per area, etc.. The Botox is diluted and you need to make sure you are not going somewhere where they dilute things too much (and therefore may not get the results you are wanting). In my practice, the cost is usually around $12 per unit. Normally for the entire forehead, it would cost around $600-$650 total. I personally inject every patient myself - I do not have a nurse or PA... more

The fees for Botox will vary based on your geographical area. The amount of Botox used is based on the particular area in which you are seeking improvement. Discuss with your surgeon your concerns. You should receive an exact quote prior to treatment.

Botox prices depend on the area

The prices for Botox depend on the area that is treated. The dosage that is used differs a lot between doctors. Some physicians use a low amount of Botox and have a lower pricing. Unfortunately there is less effect and and shorter duration of effect with less Botox...

The cost of Botox will vary with the patient, the area treated and the provider.

Botox Cosmetic can be a great treatment for forehead lines and wrinkles. Experienced providers will be able to determine if this is a good treatment option for you and what the treatment costs will be. Most women require 20-40 units to effectively treat the frown lines and only 6 - 10 units for the forehead. For providers who charge by the unit, it is easy to for you to estimate the total cost. Most patients require maintenance treatments 3-4 times per year. Getting optimal results... more

Total Botox cost for forehead treatment? It depends....

Thicker, stronger muscles require more units ot Botox for full effect. Larger areas require more units as well. Your anatomy dictates how many units are appropriate. In general, we treat female foreheads with 25-40 units of Botox. 10-20 units would be an undertreatment for most women, in my experience, and would likely wear off much sooner than 3-4 months.

Botox - cost

In general, the forehead requires anywhere from 10-20 units of botox depending on the patient's anatomy. Therefore at $10 a unit this should run you anywhere from $100-$200. In your consultation, you should feel comfortable talking to your surgeon about how many units he/she thinks you'll need prior to injecting. That way you will have a better understanding as to how much your total cost will be. Dr. Cat Begovic M.D.

Botox Prices

Every office will differ in prices. Beware that if you find a deal "to good to be true" most likely it is. Some have diluted Botox to drive the price down. I agree with the doctors on this forum that $10-$12 is typical per unit. We charge $11.00 per unit. Each person vary's on what they would like to achieve. Its imperative that we have a consultation prior to the actual injection session. Sometimes, when a patient comes in they end up being... more

Pricing is only one of the things to consider with Botox

Believe it or not, there are several ways for the injector to reduce the cost: Buy the Botox from out of the US. - it is available from Canada and England at reduced cost, but is then not backed up by the seller Allergan It can be diluted so that you do not get the full amount There is supposedly counterfeit Botox out there Your best protection is to have your injection in a physicians office where records must be maintained and the facility is... more

Botox for the forehead can be anywhere from 5 to 40+ units.

Properly trained, board-certified dermatologists and plastic surgeons separate the "forehead" area into the upper/main forehead, and the glabella, the area between the eyebrows that has the frown lines. Depending on your exact anatomy and types of lines and facial movement, you may need only 3 to 5 units total in the upper forehead area, or up to 40 units for the combined glabella and forehead together. The effect of properly placed, and not overdone, Botox, can be excellent.... more

Typical Botox dosages and costs in Plano, Texas

Typical dosages of Botox vary significantly, but here is a general range: Forehead injection: 12.5-25 units Glabella (between the eyes) injection: 25 -35 units Crows' feet injection: 25-35 units Once again, while these are reasonable guidelines for most patients, there are definitely some people who will benefit from more--or less--Botox. Botox dosages should never be standardized, as no two people have the same muscle strengths, wrinkle pattern, and desired... more

The Cost of Botox

Cost depends on: 1. Level of expertise of injector (docs cost more, other injectors cost less) 2. Area of treatment 3. Number of units used 4. Cost per unit For the forehead, it depends on whether you are treating the horizontal lines, the vertical frown lines "11's", or both. Typically, I use 20 to 25 units for the frown line and 10 to 20 units for the horizontal lines. Basic cost ranges from $10 to $18 per unit. We... more

Botox depends on amount used and price

This is not a simple question. First $10/unit sounds awfully low so double check if that is correct. The number of units that are used in each patient for an area is not standardized. There are amounts that most people get but some people get more or less. I use close to 30 units in the forehead but sometimes use less or more depending on the particular patient. I would expect that you would probably be using anywhere from 20 to 40 units so expect to pay then $200 to $400 dollars. more

Botox pricing

Pricing will vary for every patient if your doctor is charging by the unit. As for a typical forehead it will take anywhere from 10-30 units to treat the dynamic forehead depending on the size , muscle strength, and contouring desired. Less is more with these products so that you can always add more as a touch up if needed especially if you are being charged by the unit.

Shawn Allen, MD

Botox Pricing

The number of units varies from patient to patient and physician to physician as Botox treatment is an art as well as a science. An average range of units for the forehead, not including the glabellla which is the area between the eyebrows, and should be done if the upper forehead is treated to minimize drooping of the forehead, eyebrows and eyelids, is 12 to 25 units. Many times more units are needed. The glabella area often gets 25 to 35 units, so there could be 35 to 60 units, more or... more

Depending on the number of units the cost is around $400

Generally we do the glabella area and the forehead at the same time. The usual number of units is around 36, and we charge $11 per unit.

Forehead rejuvenation with BOTOX requires between 37.5 and 50 units.

To rejuvenate your forehead, you'll need to have both your frown lines and your forehead lines injected to avoid a droopy brow. I start with 12.5 units to the muscles in between your eyebrows, and 25 units to the rest of the forehead. I like to see all of my BOTOX patients around a week after the injection to assess the results, and a dose adjustment (usually 12.5 units) is given without further charge, if it's needed. This 2 area treatment costs $550 in my NJ office. I hope this helps, and... more

Cost of Botox

The cost depends on how many units are used. $10 per unit is actually fairly low. Most facial plastic surgeons charge more. Make sure your injector understands the anatomy and how the muscles of the face work. Sometimes if you inject just the forehead and not also the glabella the brows will drop. Foreheads require 10-15 units and glabellas 25 units.

Hi! In Manhattan, we charge $400 for Botox of the forehead, and use 25 units for most people. It is important to use enough Botox, because the results last longer. 25 units of Botox cost us about $125.

About $80 in female and $120 in a male

This wqouold depend on the depth and postion of the wrinkles. If they are high up opnj the forehead you would probably do fine with just those wrinkles being treated. However, if they are lower, I usually inject the glabellar region also. This helps with the forehead wrinkles too, but more importantly will help prevent the brow drop. Of course, males require more units than females. As an estimate, I would say $80 for females ( 8 units) and $120 for males. Botox has a special... more
