Dear MARILYN8178- Botox costs are usually based on Units. Botox will cost anywhere from $5-20 per unit, and the cost varies based on who is injecting it and where you are in the USA. The majority of Botox injectors in the US use this to base their charges. Some providers inject Botox based on "area", and this costs varies as well. I've written an article on my blog answering the Botox units needed, based on your facial area. Everyone is different, so the most precise answer requires a visit with your plastic surgeon, and going over your personal needs. Best Wishes, Roy
I have been injecting Botox for cosmetic purposes for over 10 years now way before it was even known as Botox Cosmetic. It is a simple procedure and takes less than 5 minutes to perform. In average Botox is $150 for forehead and $150 for frown areas. $250 to $300 for crowe's feet. Results last 3 to 4 months.
Generally, clinics provide a per unit price, and you simply multiply that amount with the number of units administered during treatment. The price is typically the same as regular Botox injections.The exact dosing for you can be determined in consultation with your cosmetic physician with an in-person evaluation, as this will allow for a better assessment of your concern.
Some doctors charge per area treated with Botox and others charge per unit used. The face can involve many areas, such as the forehead horizontal lines, the glabella, between the eyebrows, the crows feet, the DAO muscle, the under jaw neck area. From person to person, the number of units vary per area. You need to have a consultation in person to evaluate your anatomy and determine how many units you would need. Sometimes the treatments are broken up into different days to minimize the number of units used at one time. Furthermore, different doctors may recommend different number of units for you. Different doctors also can charge differently per unit. Please remember that medicine, including cosmetic treatment, is both an art and science. Experience, skill, knowledge of anatomy and a gentle hand and artisitc eye are all important aspects of a provider's technique. Shopping only for price for Botox can lead you to a non-board certified physician or non physician provider. You would like to ensure your chances of getting a good result and being able to communicate your desires to your provider.
Hi Marilyn. Botox is normally sold by the unit rather than by the area. The number of units required will depend on how many areas you are treating and how large the areas are. There are some standards such as the area between the eyes (20 units), but the forehead and crow's feet can vary slightly and the neck can vary greatly. We have seen Botox sold in Los Angeles for prices varying between $8 - $21 per unit. In addition, if you are going to consider Botox for the neck, this is a very specialized treatment and we would recommend weighting experience much more so that price in your determination of an injector. There are not many physicians that offer this treatment and even fewer that can do it well. Other variables to consider besides price in choosing a practitioner can be found at the link below. Good luck.
The cost of Botox may vary widely. The cost ultimately depends on how much is used. Some Botox specialists price based on units, while some based on number of areas treated. Many will give touch-up treatments complimentary. Some plastic surgeons will add complimentary Botox to eyelid surgery or facelift surgery. Botox is also commonly discounted with various specials, combined procedures, loyalty programs, etc. RealSelf has some information on Botox cost here realself.com/Botox/cost Best of luck.
Botox Specials are $300 for 1 area, $500 for 2 areas and $675 for 3 areas. Add $300 more for the neck. Smile lines around the eyes are 1 area; frown lines between the eyebrows are a 2nd area and the forehead is a 3rd area. The bunny lines on the nose and the lines under the eyes are usually thrown in with the adjacent area at no charge. Sincerely, David Hansen,MD
Botox Fees vary across the country and even in the same city. Some offices will charge by area. We prefer to charge per unit as it is clearer and generally more economical for the patients. We charge $12/unit and our typical treatment for women is 40 units. Men tend to need more units.
Depends on how much you get injected. I charge based on how many units are injected. So, my treatments range from 320 per area to750 per area depending on the muscle mass and amount of botox injected. Some areas such as the neck require twice the amount as areas such as the frown lines so we charge more for the material
The price per units of Botox varies from clinic to clinic. It also depends on your budget and what you want your outcome to be. You should set up a consultation with a broad certified plastic surgeon and talk with them to learn more about Botox and if your a good candidate.
Thank you for your question! I agree with the panel that it sounds as if you were injected too low on the frontalis muscle. Time will resolve this issue, but I encourage you to notify your injector. Most injectors appreciate feedback from patients and will often do what they can to maintain a ...
Hi Michelle. While there are standard precautions to take after a Botox injection, in most cases those precautions will not affect your results. It's highly unlikely that anyone moving your forehead around would have affected the placement of the Botox and it's much more likely that the d...
Well-placed Botox can lift the eyebrows. It will take 1-2 weeks for final results. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Hope this helps.
