Estimated Cost of Botox for Underarms and Forehead?

Botox is a temporary treatment for hyperhidrosis, excessive sweating.  For the underarm area, one can have laser treatment that will remove the sweat glands and decrease sweating by 75% or more, permanently. The procedure is done under local anesthesia and takes about an hour in the office operating room.The laser I currently use is the Cynosure 1440 nm Precision Tx. Earlier work was done with the 1064 YAG laser and the current 1440 is directional and can be directed against the skin to remove the sweat glands. The laser is computer controlled to prevent the temperature rising too much and causing skin damage.

This depends on the number of units you'll be receiving. Generally, clinics provide a per unit price, and you simply multiply that amount with the number of units administered during treatment. So, you may want to find out how many units your doctor will be administering.

It seems to be a reasonable fee, as there needs to be considerable number of units for the underarms.  Keep in mind, that you will not be able to keep all the forehead dry as some areas should not be injected for fear of creating a droop of the eyebrows and eyelids.

Stay with your doc because you are getting a good price for the botox for all the areas you are doing.  It is common to charge 1500 for under the arms and 500-600 for the forehead and frownlines between the eyebrows.

The price of Botox Cosmetic really depends on the number of units being used. Typically for the underarms, you need about 50 to 100 units per side. A typical face treatment (eyes, forehead) takes about 50 units. The typical price of Botox is between $14 and $18/unit. So if you are using 150 units, the price should be between $2100 and $2700 for a full treatment. If you are only being charged $1900, then I wonder how if you are truly getting a full treatment or diluted Botox. Some physicians charge by "area" and don't tell you how many units you are receiving. Other physicians may give you a good price to get you "hooked" the first time. Good luck.
