Do You Have to Pay for Botox Touchups?

I recently had botox with a new doctor. I have a follow-up scheduled in 2 weeks. My question is: if I require additional botox, will he charge me? I paid $850 for all three areas, but he said he usually goes light the first treatment with a new patient and I may require additional injections if we don't get the ideal result after the first series. Thx

Different doctors have different policies. Doctors who charge by the area typically will not charge for touch-ups. Those who charge by the unit will usually charge for the additional units that you require. Discuss this with your doctor before your next visit if this is an issue.

Each doctor has different policies. I charge by unit, which means if my patients need more, i charge them for the units two weeks later at the follow up. Some doctors charge by area, those doctors typically do "no charge" touch ups. Ask your doctor.

In our office, we charge by the area so we tell all new patients that all touchups... more

The policy on botox touchups vary from office to office. If you pay per area, you may not have to unless there is a stated maximum number of units per treatment. If you pay per unit, there generally is a charge for more units. The more economical way to treat is generally per unit.

at all the places i've inquired, botox is sold by the unit. you're charged for as much as they need to inject. if you need more, you come back and are charged for it.
