Am I paying too much for a series of 46 Botox?

Some doctors charge per zone but as many patients require different units injected into the same zone depending on their muscle mass, other doctors have charged per unit.  The patient cost of Botox varies considerably from State to State and City to City.  There are doctors that are more expert than others in injecting Botox. It is not a black and white science.  The physician must know the anatomy and also evaluate your unique anatomy to determine what are the correct insertion sites to inject and how many units of Botox to inject. Leaving you with less wrinkles but a natural appearance and with little risk of a asymmetric eyebrows or a drooping eyelid comes with experience and talent. If the receipt is indicating you had 46 units, then the fee is in line with the upper range of normal and you are not being ripped off.
 

Hi Ellie.  It would help a bit if we knew which areas you had injected and certainly more so if we knew how many units.  If we make the assumption that you are paying $915 for 46 units (series of 46) of Botox, then you are probably paying too much.  

Where we are in Los Angeles, Botox can vary between about $8 per unit and $20 per unit.  The ones at the low side are most likely importing illegaly (which has it's own dangers and ethical challenges) and the ones at the high side are likely the most exclusive practices with hard to get appointments.

For the rest of us, we are somewhere in between and $10 - $15 per unti is a reasonable range for most practices.

Botox costs range anywhere from 9 dollars to 20 dollars a unit. While you may be paying on the higher side, it can depend upon your market and the skill of your physician. If you are happy with the results and they are lasting you a sufficient duration, then the higher costs are probably justified. Some areas like New York City and Beverly Hills, for example, may routinely get those higher costs per unit.
