How much does Botox cost?

I am in my late 20s and looking to get my first Botox injection for frown lines, forehead lines, and crow's feet.  I don't want to get ripped off, so can someone please tell me - What is the normal cost of Botox?

A: Botox Costs

John LoMonaco, MD

I realize that every patient needs a different dose of Botox, but I still charge by the area treated.  It starts around $450.   If  a patient does not get a full effect, they receive a free treatment at 10 days.  My reason for this is that I think patients relate better to paying for... more

Cost depends on where you live and who is injecting the product. I always tell my patients that the "WHO" does matter, or, it is not always the injectable that gives you the great results, but rather the INJECTOR, (who is injecting the product)! I see that physician injectors may cost more than... more

A: Cost of Botox injections

Joel B. Singer, MD

I charge by the number of units used because I have found that this makes the most sense to my patients. I dilute the Botox with 4cc of sterile saline solution so that each 0.1cc is equal to 2.5 units. I use 1 cc syringes so that the syringe will hold 25 units. The reason for charging by the unit rather... more

Botox is usually charged by the unit.  In our area, the average cost is $13 to $17 per unit.  That being said, we are running a special of $11 per unit. Be very careful who you go to for the injection.  Price is not always the best determination.  I personally would only go to a a surgeon... more

In the US, the average overhead on a unit of Botox( price of the vial and the cost to inject it) is $ 8-10. The average price for injection varies from 10-15 per unit depending on the area. Some practices go by syringes but it is easier and more transparent to go by units i think. One... more

 The cost of BoTox is usually dependent on how much BoTox you receive, within a safe dose range.  When you see a "low" cost it usually means that you will be receiving less BoTox than another, higher quote.  The medication is diluted so how far a bottle goes depends on the dilution.... more

Maurice M. Khosh, MD

Botox is unmatched in its effectiveness in addressing forehead lines and crow's feet wrinkles. The treatment is effective for four months, at which time muscle activity returns to normal and wrinkles return. There have been no reported problems with long term use of Botox. In our practice, we charge $500 for... more

A: Botox Pricing

Michael A. Bogdan, MD

Botox comes in vials of 100 units, and it costs the physician around $5-6 per unit.  The markup the patient sees depends on the skill level of the injector and the region of the country you live in.  I charge $14-15/unit, and will typically use between 20 to 60 units to achieve the desired result.... more

A: The cost of Botox

Steven Hacker, MD

Botox varies by provider however we price botox based upon the area treated. The different areas that are treated include the glabella (just above the nose ), the forehead, and the "crows feet". Our price is $520 for one area and if the second and third area are done on the same day at the same time,... more

A: Cost of Botox

Richard W. Fleming, MD

Obviosly the cost depends on the quantity used. Prices vary throughout the country. In general the treatment is $300-$400 per area; ie, the area between the brows, the laugh lines, or the forehead. If the price seem too good, it probably is. There is bogus material out there. Make sure you see a physician who... more
