Botox price for forehead wrinkles?

Although most places charge by the unit, I think this can leave people confused and unhappy.  I our practice, we charge by the area treated.  Each area in the upper face costs $175.  Typically treated areas include between the eyebrows (glabella), the forehead, and in the "crow's feet".  First-time patient discounts and other specials often apply.  There are several benefits to charging by the area:


We use as much Botox as is necessary to work, but don't overuse

You are guaranteed the muscles will be paralyzed.  If not enough was used, touch ups are done at no cost.  Again, you pay for the area and not the amount of medication used.  Its my job to make sure I use enough.

You know exactly how much it will be before you come in.  No surprises.


As a side note, I typically use between 20 (one area) and 60 (3 areas) units for the upper face, so the total cost is less than $10/unit.

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.

Most people will receive 10-12 units for the forehead. So if they are charging $10/unit, it would be $100-120 for just the forehead. You should feel comfortable asking your provider for a quote prior to treatment. 

If you are new to Botox I would recommend 10 units for the forehead. Pricing for Botox varies depending on location and expertise of the injector.  The price ranges from $10-18 dollars a unit.  To answer your question it would be $100 to inject Botox in the forehead if you are getting 10 units. RegardsAnil Shah

Botox pricing will depend on the injector, geographic market, and the particular patient. Some injectors price Botox by the area while others price it by the unit.
If your Botox is being priced by the unit, then it comes down to how many units you will require to achieve the result you are looking for. Most patients will require 10-20 units to treat the horizontal forehead wrinkles, with an additional 20 or so units required to treat the wrinkles between the eyebrows in the glabella area.
Also, $10/unit is quite low in most markets, so be sure that you are seeing a skilled physician injector.
All the best,

The price for a Botox treatment is
variable and usually depends on the number of Botox Units used. The number of
Units used is influenced by the desired effect, the amount of current
animation, and the strength of the muscles. For new patients, however, the
exact dosing is often discovered through a trial and error process. See link
below. Some rough guidelines are:



Forehead: 16 units

Crowfeet (around eyes): 8 units
per side

Glabella (between eyes): 18 units



The price in my practice is $12 a
Unit, however, new patients receive a discount on their first session. A
detailed examination will help delineate your treatment options. Consultation
with a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery would be the
next best step.

I typically use 8-12 units for the horizontal lines of the forehead. The dose depends on the size of the muscles, and the patients past experience. I charge $11 per unit.  At that rate, the cost would be $88-$132.  At the $10 per unit price, the cost would be $80-$120.  

How much you pay will depend on the amount of Botox used, the expertise of your injector, and the zip code. 

I would normally start with 10 units of Botox or 30 units of Dysport in the forehead region.  I would consider putting more if there is still movement and no heaviness in the brows.  Most places charge by the unit, so you can multiply the cost per unit.  I will mention, however, that results do vary using the same number of units depending on the injector skill and those with more experience and skill usually charge more.

The typical forehead and 11's will require about 40 units for treatment.  The crow's feet can require 5 to 10 units.  It depends on the the size of the face and the muscular strength.

It is difficult to answer this question because every face is different.The number of Botox units injected depends on the strength of the "forehead muscles" you are trying to paralyze with the toxin to improve the wrinkles, both at rest and during "activation".  Different people require different quantities of Botox in different areas to get similar results. A simple example is the following -- a man in his 30s will likely have a stronger set of facial muscles than a young woman in her 20s. He will thus need more Botox than the girl to obtain a similar result. Typically, I inject 15-20 units in the forehead and 20-25 units between the brows.  So, if you are paying $10 per unit, this would range anywhere from $350 to $450.  (**On a side note, $10 a unit is a very cheap price, and I would question the experience of the injector who quotes this price -- this is obviously exclusive of promotions, or a discount that may be provided for you...)One point I stress to all prospective Botox patients is to make sure they do their research when it pertains to their physician injector. The experience of the physician is more important than the price of the Botox. I think the key lies in truly understanding the anatomy of the injected area, and more importantly the variability in the anatomy between patients -- for brows, the forehead and anywhere else you plan on receiving a Botox injection. This includes having a firm understanding of the origin, insertion, and action of each muscle that will be injected, the thickness of each muscle targeted, and the patient variability therein. As a plastic surgeon, I am intrinsically biased since I operate in the area for browlifts and facelifts, and have a unique perspective to the muscle anatomy since I commonly dissect under the skin and see the actual muscles themselves. For me, this helps guide where to inject and where not to. However, with that said, I know many Dermatologists who know the anatomy well despite not operating in that area, and get great results. It should not be the price of the Botox, but the experience and education of the individual physician that should guide where you receive your Botox treatment.Always remember, you tend to get what you pay for.Good luck.
