Am I Overpaying for Botox?

April 6, 2009
Asked By:choyce2020 in Stockton, CA

I have good skin. I stay out of the sun and use Dr. Brandt's skincare line faithfully. My plastic surgeon injects me with Botox every 3 to 4 months. Each time I go, I am charged with different amounts, although he treats on the same areas: my forehead, my 11 lines and the sides of my eyes. I have paid from $750-$1,100 per visit. He tells me he is giving me a 10% discount. Shouldn't I require less Botox instead of more b/c if I go to him every 3-4 mos?
