I was charged for 150 units on my forehead but I don't think that much was used, how would I know?

Question

Is it likely for a total 150units Were used on my forehead? I had Botox for first time @a local clinic last night, I am 32 &don't have many lines maybe 3 little ones but wanted to stop them in their tracks. The Dr used 1.5 small syringes on my forehead &above my eyebrows. There were ~9 little jabs in total. He left the room with the vial to "go put it in the fridge" so he didn't use the whole vial. is it likely he used 150units or did I get ripped off? They didn't give me any receipt/invoice.

Botox comes in 50 and 100 units. Dysport is another brand that comes in 300. 150 units of Dysport could be injected into the glabella and forehead and would usually cost about $600(ballpark) whereas 150 units of Botox would be $1500-2000. Not to mention way too much

Anandita Gephart, MD · Answer

Some people charge by the vial instead of by the unit 
You should ask for the price pet unit and ask how many units will be used prior to being injected
The fact you had Botox left over is a good thing 
150 Units is too much 
But is only lasts 48 hrs after being reconstituted even when refrigeratorater

If you are certain it was Botox than you would definitely know. It is an irrational dose and I doubt anyone would use 150u for any aesthetic purpose. In Australia Botox comes in 100 unit bottles as in many other countries. To my knowledge only in India Botox may come in 200units vials.Did you get ripped off? If it was indeed Botox than you definitely did. This should not be tolerated. I hope you get your money back! Good luck!

thankyou for your question.
This definitely isn't botox as no such dose is used for the forehead. It is most likely dysport . If this is the case you really should have a chat with your injector. You would have signed also a consent form with the name of the product.

Hope this helps

It does sound more like Dysport units which would be similar to about 50 units of Botox. How much did you pay? The only way to know for sure would be to contact your treating provider and ask.
