Botox is sold to Physicians in a 100 unit vial, not by syringe; Botox is reconstituted with saline by the Physician with 2-2.5 mL depending on preference. The cost to the Physician for this US FDA approved vial is around $550. Although Botox can be priced per area, my preference is to sell it by the unit. The reason is that Botox is a medication, with some patients requiring more and some less. Cost per unit will depend on where you live, but in my practice it is $13/u. Because Botox is used heavily for therapeutic reasons in the United States, Botox cosmetic must be sold to the Physician at the same price as Botox intended for insurance/ Medicare purposes. Therefore, there is no volume discounting of product for the Physician, as there is with competitors such as Dysport or Xeomin. Therefore, if you see heavily discounted Botox, Botox offered by the "syringe", I would be suspicious of the origin, quality, dilution, and integrity of the product.
The price of Botox operation depends on several factors such as the difficulty of your case and your request for your operation area.In my practice, prices for Botox operation reaches from 325 Euro up to 350 Euro range. If you want to learn more you can visit my profile.
When your injector receives Botox from the manufacturer, it comes in a vial. The contents of the vial must then be reconstituted and then administered by syringe. Therefore, generally, clinics provide a per unit price, and you simply multiply that amount with the number of units administered during treatment. The exact dosing for you can be determined in consultation with your cosmetic physician with an in-person evaluation, as this will allow for a better assessment of your concern. In Toronto, Ontario, the price ranges from $10-$15 per unit.
Depends on the Physician dilution can you determine how many units are in a syringe. The average cost per unit can range from different locations, anywhere from $10-$18 per unit.
Botox is purchased by the office by the vial (usually 100 units). Patients are then treated with a specific number of units depending upon their muscle bulk and muscle activity. The unit price ranges all the way from $5 (hair salon, internist, etc) to over $12 (expert physician injector). As with everything else in life, you get what you pay for. Seek an expert injector plastic surgeon or dermatologist. Even in the expert injector category you will find a relatively wide range of pricing available to you. I hope this information is helpful.
