Average Cost Of Botox For Forehead
The average cost depends on how many units are used. $10 per unit is actually fairly low. Most facial plastic surgeons charge more. Make sure your injector understands the anatomy and how the muscles of the face work.
Sometimes if you inject just the forehead and not also the glabella the brows will drop. Foreheads require 10-15 units and glabellas 25 units. (Stuart H. Bentkover, MD (retired), Boston Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Botox depends on amount used and price
First $10/unit sounds awfully low so double check if that is correct. The number of units that are used in each patient for an area is not standardized.
There are amounts that most people get but some people get more or less.

I use close to 30 units in the forehead but sometimes use less or more depending on the particular patient. I would expect that you would probably be using anywhere from 20 to 40 units so expect to pay then $200 to $400 dollars. (Chris Thiagarajah, MD, Denver Oculoplastic Surgeon)
Botox Pricing
The number of units varies from patient to patient and physician to physician as Botox treatment is an art as well as a science.
An average range of units for the forehead, not including the glabellla which is the area between the eyebrows, and should be done if the upper forehead is treated to minimize drooping of the forehead, eyebrows and eyelids, is 12 to 25 units.
Many times more units are needed. The glabella area often gets 25 to 35 units, so there could be 35 to 60 units, more or less, depending on your anatomy and treating physician. (Ronald Shelton, MD, Manhattan Dermatologic Surgeon)

Generally we do the glabella area and the forehead at the same time. The usual number of units is around 36, and we charge $11 per unit. (Nissan Pilest, MD, Irvine Dermatologic Surgeon)
Find a Top Level Provider of Botox for a consultation to get the best value for your money
There are many variables to consider with Botox Pricing. Experience being the most important Experienced Botox injectors
- Have the ability to give the best Botox results
- They often have expertise that allows them to use less Botox in order to get the desired results
- Use freshly reconstituted meaning the most potent Botox possible
- Top providers of Botox can have rebates and specials that are available exclusively to top providers of Botox and other Allergan products like Juvederm and Latisse meaning the price can be MUCH lower.

Currently Allergan has a $100 rebate available only through top providers. Rather than considering the price of Botox, consider the VALUE of your treatment and getting the best result for your money. (Michael Law, MD, Raleigh-Durham Plastic Surgeon)
Pricing is only one of the things to consider with Botox
Believe it or not, there are several ways for the injector to reduce the cost: Buy the Botox from out of the US. – it is available from Canada and England at reduced cost, but is then not backed up by the seller Allergan
It can be diluted so that you do not get the full amount. There is supposedly counterfeit Botox out there. Your best protection is to have your injection in a physicians office where records must be maintained and the facility is subject to inspections.

Typical Botox dosages and costs in Plano, Texas
Typical dosages of Botox vary significantly, but here is a general range:
- Forehead injection: 12.5-25 units
- Glabella (between the eyes) injection: 25 -35 units
- Crows’ feet injection: 25-35 units
Once again, while these are reasonable guidelines for most patients, there are definitely some people who will benefit from more–or less–Botox.
Botox dosages should never be standardized, as no two people have the same muscle strengths, wrinkle pattern, and desired results.
We charge
- $325 for the first 25 units of Botox
- $300 for the second 25 units 3. $275 for the third 25 units
For three syringes, this works out to $12 per unit. (Ronald Friedman, MD, Plano Plastic Surgeon)
In Manhattan, we charge $400 for Botox of the forehead
In Manhattan, we charge $400 for Botox of the forehead on average, and use 25 units for most people. It is important to use enough Botox, because the results last longer. 25 units of Botox cost us about $125. (George J. Beraka, MD (retired), Manhattan Plastic Surgeon)
Dr. Kris M. Reddy, MD, FACS, West Palm Beach Plastic Surgeon – 50 Year Old Woman Treated With Botox For Forehead
About $80 in female and $120 in a male
This would depend on the depth and postion of the wrinkles. If they are high up opnj the forehead you would probably do fine with just those wrinkles being treated. However, if they are lower, I usually inject the glabellar region also.
This helps with the forehead wrinkles too, but more importantly will help prevent the brow drop. Of course, males require more units than females. As an estimate, I would say $80 for females ( 8 units) and $120 for males.
Botox has a special rebate coupon, $50 per treatment. Could this have anything to do with the entry of Dysport into the marketplace? I wonder. (Arnold R. Oppenheim, MD, Virginia Beach Dermatologist)
The cost for botox in the forehead is approximately $250. This could vary some based on the size of the forehead and the number of wrinkles. (Robert M. Wald, Jr., MD, Orange County Plastic Surgeon)
The average price of Botox to treat the forehead can vary
The amount of Botox needed to treat an area is dictated by the muscle mass of that area. We typically use 25 units to treat the forehead but will use more in patients with a lot of muscle activity.
Conversely, patients will less muscle can get by with a smaller dose. If too little Botox is used, patients see little improvement, so for first time treatment, I would go with the number of units your physician recommends. (Jonathan Sonne, MD, Naples Facial Plastic Surgeon)
