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 cost depends on units

Peyman Ghasri, MD

Botox is usually priced per unit or area. A fair and comparative way would be finding out the number of units required. Usually between the eyebrows takes about 20-25 units, forehead takes about 10-20 units and crows feet takes about 20 to 40 units. The average price per unit ranges from 8 to 15. I would... more

A: Botox is priced by the unit in most clinics

Scott Sattler, MD

Some clinics charge for Botox by treatment area, and I think this practice can be misleading. Seek out a practice that charges for Botox by the unit. Your injector will calculate how much Botox you'll require based on the amount of muscular activity you have, extend of wrinkles and location. Expect to pay... more

A: Call around for Botox cost

Arnold R. Oppenheim, MD

Prices vary. I charge $9 a unit to new patients and $8 to my "regulars" (patients who have had Botox injected more than three times.) However, I would recommend calling around, since sometimes physicians will charge less on Friday or before vacations.  They may want the BOTOX to be... more

A: Botox cost

Benjamin Barankin, MD

The cost of BOTOX depends on how many units & how many areas are injected and who is doing the injecting. For an expert dermatologist or plastic surgeon, the cost for treating the frown area is typically anywhere from $300-$500, with a similar cost for the Crow's feet; horizontal forehead lines typically... more

ASSUMING the doctor / injector / chiropractor / salon orders a 100 unit Botox Cosmetic vial from ALLERGAN (and not from a gray market source), they will pay the same for each Botox vial (with discounts figured in based on total quarterly Botox purchases) - the current price is just over 500 dollars... more

The cost of Botox in Los Angeles varies by practice according to several factors including: Who's doing the injections?

A: Cost of Botox

William J. Hedden, MD

Average cost of Botox does vary with different physicians. We are happy to provide Botox at a lower cost per unit as more of a perk for our patients that end up doing mulitple proceedures with us. Average cost for our Botox is $250.00 per site.

A: Cost of Botox Atlanta

Alan M. Gardner, MD

I charge $300 per site, we do offer a special once every 4 months for $235 per site. After 2 weeks, if the patient is not satisfied, we can do a unit adjustment for $50. This happens once in awhile, and is not a big deal. Once we know that you needed a little more in that area, the next time you come in we go... more

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

A: Botox cost

John Philip Connors III, MD

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
