Do not buy cc's of Botox!

If a physician is selling you CC's of Botox he/she is almost certainly trying to deceive you. There are two common ways to offer Botox in today's market, one is by the unit and the other is by the area. 

Measuring in CC's is deceiving because a CC of diluted Botox does not tell you how much actual Botox is in the dilution, rather it tells you more about how much saline was used.

Purchasing Botox in anything other then the "unit" cost will usually lead to paying more for the product. If you know how many units are being injected, you can easily judge how it compares to another practice. Understand though that this pricing information has nothing to do with the amount of skill necessary to create good outcomes and you should always seek out experienced, well trained Botox injectors.

Many doctors charge by the "area", i.e. glabella or crow's feet. Fees vary from $300 to $600 per area.

Others charge by the unit. Fees vary from $9 a unit to $25 a unit.

There are 100 units to a bottle of Botox. Usually that translates to 4 or 5 cc in the bottle(depending on how much a doctor adds).

Doctors who have established practices and specialty training (plastic surgeons or dermatologists) and great experience are generally more expensive than doctors without specific training (non-cosmetic specialty doctors) who are novices.

Botox is much like paint to an artist. The cost of the paint is not as important as the painting itself. You are paying for the art with Botox, not the chemical.
