$300-$800 per 3-4 months depending on the areas treated

Botox lasts usually 3-4 months on an average but may be longer in some patients and shorter in others. It can take up to 1 full week to see results. The 3 areas usually done are the crow's feet on the sides of the eyes, the frown lines between the eyebrows, and the forehead creases. I charge $300-350 for 1 area, $500-600 for 2 areas and $675-800 for all three areas. If someone wants their upper lip done also with the other areas it is an additional $175 and an additional $300 for the neck... more

Botox Prices in Los Angeles

In LA, I've seen everything from $9-$14 per unit. On the lower end of the price range, you'll typically see less-experienced doctors and on the higher end, doctors and/or plastic surgeons with much more experience. It's always smart to shop around, but don't necessarily go for the lowest price. If you find a plastic surgeon with lots of experience injecting in the middle range at around $12/unit, it's probably worth the extra $50-$100 total you may pay on... more

Botox cost varies and so does the experience of the people injecting it

Offices charge for Botox in two ways - either by "area" or by "unit." It is my feeling that charging by "area" leads to fraud since the office can dilute the Botox by whatever ratio they want and the patient never actually knows how much Botox they have received. There is also the possibility of cross-contamination between patients since the office is using the vial over and over again for several patients. The alternative way of charging for Botox is by... more

Botox cost

Some people charge by area, and others by the amount of Botox units used. I charge $14/unit. for Botox, as everyone requires a different amount depending on their muscles and degree of wrinkling. Lana Long, M.D.

Botox at $10/unit

We charge by the unit - that way, you pay for how much you use. In our office, botox is $10/unit. You will be injected by a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. There is a December Allergan special: Buy 20 units, get a $50 instant rebate. Botox also has a "frequent customer" program called Brilliant Distinctions. This can make botox injections a little more economical.

How much does Botox cost in Albany NY

When having a Botox injection, it is important to know the number of units used since that ultimately will determine the cost of the procedure. Some physicians charge by the site, for example crow’s feet or the glabellar frown lines, but you then do not know how many units are being used and if that is adequate amount. Generally I charge $12 per unit, but Allergen with its Brilliant Distinction Program allows for a rebate to the patient. Since a vial is for single... more

Make sure you get your money's worth!

First, when receiving either Botox™ or Dysport™, keep your focus on the goals you want to achieve. If your provider is skilled, then you will achieve the benefit you want without “micromanaging” the way or the amount of the product used. It is great to ask questions. Many patients want to only spend a certain amount of money for their treatment, and I understand this but it should not be at the cost of looking natural. When not enough product... more

Cost of botox

What a patient pays for botox really depends on the doctor he/she is seeing. Each physician may charge a different ammount - like anything else retail. You can call several offices in your area to find out the average costs. I would be careful with the office that charges a lot less than others. The most expensive office may have a more exclusive client base. More experienced doctors may charge more.

Cost of Botox

Botox comes in 2 vial sizes, 50 and 100 units. It is clearly marked on the bottle that it is for single patient use, so bottles are not to be shared for fear of cross contamination of disease. For that reason, you would need to buy a full vial for yourself, but different doctors price it differently. I strongly urge you to only use an injector that sells you the entire vial in order to avoid potential transmission of hepatitis or other diseases.

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. I personally inject every patient myself - I do not have a nurse or PA do the injecting. I hope this helps.

How Much Does Botox Cost?

There are two ways that Botox costs are determined. The first way is by the area treated and the second way is by the cost per unit of Botox. I prefer to charge by the unit. I tell my patients that the more muscle in a region, the more Botox you will need. The goal is to use the minimum amount of Botox to obtain the maximum result as most patients I meet do not want to have that "frozen" look. The first injection is carefully... more

Botox Cost

Botox cost does vary. We charge $14.00 dollar/unit. The areas typically consist of the forehead, the lines in-between the brows, and crow's feet. On average our patients receive between 16 and 40 units for the desired results. Be careful when price shopping for Botox.

BOTOX Cosmetic Pricing

There is incredible variability in the price of BOTOX Cosmetic among medical clinics, spas, etc., within the same cities and states and who is doing the injecting. In my opinion the most cost effective way to purchase BOTOX Cosmetic for patients is to purchase by the UNIT. If you are younger and have less noticeable lines than say an individual who is in their 60's you should require less units. Why pay by the "area" you may need less than the... more

Botox Cost Per Unit

The most important factor is the number of units used. 1 unit of Botox can cost between $10 to $15. A large area requires more Botox units. Approx 50 to 60 units of Botox can be administered during one visit for the good result in improving the forehead wrinkles and frown lines.

My philosophy is a different. I believe the best person to determine your optimal result from botox is me, I find that when people pay by the unit or area they tend to sacrifice one area over another leading to a suboptimal result. that's why I charge a flat rate for the treatment no matter how much I use, typically about 40-60 units but can be as little as 25u if that's all that's needed. It seems to me you are paying me for a result not the actual botox, that's just... more

Botox Costs

Be CAREFUL. I always have patients coming in saying that they got Botox for $9/unit at some "spa". Then their total price somehow ends up being more than it would have been at my cost AND they did not see any results. This is because: 1. Most spas dilute it, and still don't adjust cost accordingly. 2. There are vendors selling illegal "Botox" for half of cost (we get these over our fax all week long). This is NOT Botox.
