Tax on Botox depends on the state and the injector (medical professional or lay person). At one time, all cosmetic procedures were taxed in NJ, whether they were performed by a licensed physician or not. This, however, is no longer the case. Other states will tax Botox as a luxury item when it is not performed by a physician.
In Toronto, Ontario, tax is always charged on Botox for cosmetic purposes. You should find out what the law is in your state. It may be that when performed by a surgeon or doctor, there is no tax.
Thank you for your question.Taxable botox can depend on what type of office you go to and who is injecting. Each state has their own requirements. To be sure, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment.I hope this helps.
I think there was a provision that Bloomberg wanted to pass where they taxed cosmetic procedures but it did not succeed. Here is a link for you to read.
Botox is not taxable as between the patient and the doctor. New York took some preliminary steps to impose sales tax at the doctor/patient level but then reversed itself. Other states are already doing so. When we order Botox or fillers from the manufacturers (and we only order from them and do not purchase on the "gray market") we are charged sales tax and this is included in how we calculate the per unit charge.
This is a fun question and it depends on your state. As a physician, injecting a medication, which is what Botox is classified as per the FDA, is a medical procedure and not taxable. As a non-physician, sometimes the state will require that office to charge and collect sales tax, because they aren't a physician injector and cannot perform medical procedures under a non-tax mandate. So it depends on your state and the regulations. Remember that a procedure that costs a couple hundred dollars per time and is taxable - hell yeah - your state wants to collect that as taxable and will do so every chance they can.

Correcting the downward corners of the mouth can be a rewarding filler procedure. Patients typically appear sad or angry due to this. Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm Ultra can be injected to accomplish this.
Thank you for your question. Botox is indicated for 3 month by the FDA. There may be residual efects for months after the treatment, until the muscle returns to form, but the msucle recovers, just like an arm muscle after a cast is removed. I hope this helps!
Botox is a terrific treatment for dynamic/movement wrinkles, but if the lines or wrinkles are too deep, then adding a filler along with Botox is a good idea. A tiny percentage of people don't or stop responding to Botox, and so a different botulinum toxin such as Dysport can be tried. Sometimes...
