Botox Cosmetic is administered by the unit. Many plastic surgeons and dermatologists price and inject based on a unit price. Some cosmetic practices price Botox Cosmetic based on the region being treated instead of the exact unit amount, for example frown lines, forehead, or Crow’s feet. Some Botox specialists may give touch-ups, as needed, after 1-2 weeks without additional charge.
National cost varies and may range from approximately $9 to $20 per unit, which means a typical (full) treatment is 50 units or $450 to $1000. Many cosmetic physicians offer special pricing, if combined with other plastic surgery treatments.
