How much does Botox cost?

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 the "unit."

Allergan just started supplying 50 Unit vials of Botox. In my practice, this is the average amount of Botox for a typical patient. 50 Units will cover the crow's feet (2.5 units each), the glabella (25 units) and the forehead (20 units). This amount of Botox allows for significant reduction in wrinkles but allows you to maintain facial animation.

The charge per unit varies around the country from anywhere between $9 and $20+ per unit. In my practice, I charge a flat fee in 50 unit increments.

The second vial is only needed if you are having your neck treated for bands or your scalp treated for headaches.

It is my policy to open up the new vial of Botox right in front of the patient so they can be assured that they are getting fresh product and getting what they are paying for.

The average cost for Botox on RealSelf is $525. This, of course, does not explain what was treated.  In the US, most practices charge by the unit (i.e. $11/ unit)or by the 'area' (i.e. $250 for the frown lines, $300 for the crows feet). You can receive great treatment, either way, as long as you are getting great results.  I charge $11 per unit. This gives you the opportunity to know what it takes to get results in each area.  The most common areas treated with Botox, and 'average' doses for these areas, in my practice are:  Frown Lines (Glabella) 20 units. $220. Crows Feet (Obicularis) 30 units. $330. Forehead Wrinkes (Frontalis) 10 units. $110. Bunny Nose (Nasaslis) 8 units. $88. Vertical Lip Lines. (Obicularis) 5 units $55. Each patient is evaluated and the dose for each area is tailored based on the size of the muscle motion and the results of previous treatment. Most patients are very happy!  Results last for an average of 4 months.  This is why Botox is the number one cosmetic procedure in the US!  

Botox varies in cost depending on the number of units used ans the areas injected. You should ask you physician before you get injected so as to avoid sticker shock!

Hello,There are several factors that can go into the pricing of Botox. Typically, each injector charges per unit or per area, therefore depending on how big or small your treatment area is, the more or less the service may cost. At our clinic, we charge per unit to create a more tailored price to each individual client. It is important to consider that there is more than one brand of Botox on the market as well and that experienced physicians or injectors may charge higher prices for their work compared to others. Be sure to consult with more than one injector, get second opinions and remember that cheap work does not mean good work.

Botox may be priced by the unit, with doses ranging from 15-60 units or more depending on activity level and areas treated; or may be priced by the area. This varies by market. Pricing can range greatly, usually related to a combination of market and expertise of the injector. You may see specials or groupons for very low per unit prices, but it is wise to ask a few questions about experience of the injector and policies regarding touchups, follow up, etc. It makes sense to gather some information on average pricing and pricing convention in your area, and to check reviews/reputation and general satisfaction with the injector before chasing price only.

Every office has different charges, however we charge $15 per unit for botox. Every new patient receves 15% off their first injection.

Typically a typical treatment of the glabella, crow's feet (lateral orbicularis oculi), bunny lines (nasalis) and forehead can range from $300 to $600.  This is variable as some need more botox than others.  

The price of Botox operation depends on several factors such as the difficulty of your case and your request for your operation area.
In my practice, prices for Botox operation reaches from 325 Euro up to 350 Euro range. If you want to learn more you can visit my profile.

Botox is One of the Leading Non-Surgical Treatments for Restoring a Youthful Appearance and Reducing Fine Lines and  Wrinkles in Your Face. Botox can be used on multiple areas including  Forehead Wrinkles, Drooping Eyebrows, Frown Lines, Crow’s Feet, Smoker’s Lines around the Mouth, Platysmal Bands - "Neck Wrinkles", and Hyperhydrosis - Excessive Sweating under the Arms. The Price starts off at $10 a unit (25 unit minimum) but varies per person.

BOTOX Cosmetic is priced by the unit which is a unit of measurement for the product.  Botox is typically $12 per unit and number of units ranges depending on a patient’s individual needs.  Your provider will be able to assess your anatomy and needs at your appointment to determine an appropriate dose of muscle relaxer.  

Botox is generally priced by the unit and the price is higher based on the credentials and training of the injector. You should expect a minimum of $400 for those areas but shouldn't expect to pay more than $600. A great injector can do a lot with fewer units. Many medi-spas, etc. will only inject a pre-determined amount which may be more or less than what you actually need.
