Cost of Botox for Frown Lines Alone?

The cost will depend on the amount of muscle mass and your goals.  It takes less botox to get a relaxed look and more botox to get a frozen look. In the Houston area, you should be able to get a treatment for somewhere between $200 and $300 if you are a woman.  Men typically have more muscle mass and require more medication.  Their cost would likely be between $300 and $500+.

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. 

Generally in the $250-$300 range with a standard dose of 25 units of botox. Ask how many units you are getting.

Cost varies in the geography of your treatment area. It may be based on area of treatment on the face, or the number of units.  Some doctors might use 12 units, others might use 25 to 35 units depending on the mass of the muscles being treated. In some practices, a doctor may delegate the treatment to a nurse or the doctor may do it. If you need more units because your muscle mass demands it, and you didn't have an adequate response, there may be an additional cost. The range in price can be considerable from a couple hundred to several hundred dollars. Don't shop price alone; customer service is an important part of any practice and may be worth spending more so that your concerns are addressed not only at the time of the visit, but after, as well.

Allergen uses a guideline of 20 to 40 units to treat the frown lines for a typical woman (a man is typically on the higher end of that range or maybe even higher). The cost per unit varies across the country. However, we typically charge between $200 to $400 to treat this area.
