Cost of Botox

In Seattle, the cost usually ranges between 10$ and 16$ per unit. It varies depending on a few things. 1. Expertise of the injector, 2. Who the injector is (physician vs other), 3. Whether an office may be running a special. The number of units placed in an area can vary. For instance, for the frown lines between the eyebrows, studies show that the right amount for most women is 25 units. However, in my practice, I may put in as few as 10 (young female with a very petite forehead)... more

Dallas Botox Prices

We charge Botox Cosmetic by the area. The three most common areas are the crow's feet, forehead, and the lines in-between the brows (glabella). I typically use approximately 60 units for those 3 areas and charge $575. So in our practice we charge about $10/unit. I personally do all of my own injections and have treated over 2000 patients last year with Botox. I have considered raising prices over the past few years, but in today's financial turmoil, even though surgical prices have risen... 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 is determined on a per unit basis or per area

The cost of BOTOX in most Toronto offices is based on a per unit cost. This ranges from $10 to $16 in most offices. Some offices charge one fee for any unit, while in some offices the fee per unit of Botox is increased in more challenging areas Sincerely, Martin Jugenburg, MD

Botox Pricing

Actually, Botox Cosmetic is affordable. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), the cost per treatment in the United States averages between $300.00 and $500.00, with results that last up to 4 months on average. First, you always need to meet with the Physician or Nurse to determine if botox is the right product for your facial concerns. A lot of patients come in and think they need Botox when they may need an injectable filler or laser resurfacing... more

Botox costs about $10-15 per unit

Doctors may have different ways of charging for Botox injections. Usually it's by the unit, in which case it can vary between $10-$15 per unit. The other main method is per area, i.e. the frown lines might be $300, forehead $250 etc. Usually multiple regions done at the same time are discounted. Overall to know you're getting good value you should ask to be charged per unit and find out what your dose is. This also tells you what you will need for your next injection. For the areas you... more

Cost of botox by the Unit

I usually charge $12 a unit for botox. The number of units depends on the site. The "eleven" lines or glabellar area I usually use 20 units. Also I used 20-30 units for the forehead. In the crows feet I use about 15 units per side or 30 units total. To give a Botox brow lift I use 5 units total. Finally to give a patient a natural smile or soften the sad look of the mouth I use about 10 units. You can calculate the math to determine the cost depending on what you would like to get.... more

Botox cost depends on several factors

Some Botox providers price their product by area treated, others by volume, others by units. The most reliable method is by units. Ask your provider "how many units are you placing in each of the specific areas". The average price for Botox in the Houston area is $14-15/unit. Most providers nowadays will offer specials. In addition, Botox has a "rewards" program that gives you $25 off each treatment done within 3-6 mos of the last treatment, as long as it's done... more

Botox cost depends on the day

I agree with Dr. Di Saia - it seems Botox pricing varies with the barometric pressure (or maybe the Dow Jones average). In my practice, I view Botox as a valuable service I try to provide for my patients in the most convenient and economical way possible. As a plastic surgeon, it will never be a major source of income for me, so I choose to make it easy and affordable. We charge $13 per Botox unit. Having said that, though, we have a monthly day of beauty when Botox, facials, and peels are... more

Botox price per unit may vary

In my practice, I charge between $13-15 per unit and generally will inject anywhere from about 20-50 units of Botox in one session, and usually see patients once every 3-4 months for their Botox injections. I do urge you to check the credentials and experience of your injector prior to your first Botox session. Thanks for your question!
