Botox is usually charged by either the number of units injected or areas covered, I prefer to keep my pricing simple, between 11 and 14$ a unit, depending upon if there are any specials.
I usually inject 30-50 units per patient, over the forehead, around the eyes and between the eyebrows.
This works out to $300-550 for the patient, depending upon the needs of the patient, the area to be covered and the muscular activity of their facial muscles. (Sanjay Mukerji, MD, Thousand Oaks Plastic Surgeon)
Cost of Botox in Cleveland Ohio
Botox cost is done by unit, by injection, or by area. In our office it is $15 per unit.
This is average for a physician injector. Usually the between eyebrow region- “angry 11”- requires 20 units – $300 – often more in males.
The region on the side of the eyes-“crow’s feet”- has the most variation and can be 8- 12 units per side for total of 16-24 units- $240 to $360. The Forehead creases- off label area- 12 units-$180 for most.
The Brow lift- off label area-8 units-$120. (Ritu Malhotra, MD, Cleveland Facial Plastic Surgeon)
In most areas I am familiar with the price for Botox injections is between $10-$20 per unit.
The number of units varies by the individual as well as physician preferences. For most female patients I use approximately 25 units to treat the forehead and around the eyes.
Men and women with thicker muscles may need higher doses. (F. True Lansden, MD, Key West Plastic Surgeon)
The price for Botox varies, depending on the area you are treating. It is priced according to units. The injection cost per unit generally ranges from $10-14. My practice charges $10.50/unit. Frown lines between the eyes requires 20-30 units, crow’s feet 8-14 units, forehead lines 10-20 units.
Botox For Under Eye Wrinkles
These are the most common areas treated. Your doctor can determine the amount that is best for you, which will of course determine the cost. (Amy Klein, DO, Gainesville OB-GYN)
We charge $12 per unit. For the frown area most people need 15-20 units. Around the eyes most people need 8-10 units. Below is a link to all our frequently asked Botox questions including cost. (Jeffrey R. Raval, MD, FACS, MBA, Denver Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Many doctors charge by the unit. This may vary from $10-15 a unit. The number of units to be used over your brow, eyes, nose, cheeks, etc. determines the overall cost, although many physicians also charge an additional fee to cover the cost of the office visit and evaluation.
We have multiple providers in my office who perform Botox or other neuromodulators (toxis to alter the action of the muscle). The nurses and PA’s charge less than I do for the service. (Bruce Saal, MD, Los Gatos Dermatologic Surgeon)

Seek Out Botox Experts and Expect a Per Unit Price of $12-15
Botox comes in 100-unit vials and is dispersed in such a fashion. First, I would recommend going to the office of a plastic surgeon or dermatologist that sells the treatment based on $/unit. This gives you the most information as to what your are buying.
It will be an important reference point for subsequent treatmetns. You’ll know if you need more or less. As for unit price, it really then depends on the area of the country you’re in (e.g. NYC would be more expensive than Charlotte).
In Charlotte, the cost is approximately $12-15/unit. As a sidebar, Botox is one of the most commonly prescribed drugs in the world. But, an uncommon touch is required to do it will.
I very much encourage you to seek out the EXPERTS and don’t simply price shop alone. (Peter J. Capizzi, MD, Charlotte Plastic Surgeon)
Cost of Botox by Dr. Michaels at Bluepoint Medical Spa
Botox comes in two sizes, a 50 unit vial and 100 unit vial. For Las Vegas, the typical cost per unit will range from $10 per unit to $15 per unit.
During the visit you will be evaluated and given recommendation on how much you need.
There are other toxins to purchase as well, like Xeomin or Dysport that typical run cheaper. Clients will be required to purchase an entire vial at the time of the appointment as we are not allowed to use the same vial for multiple clients. (Danka K. Michaels, MD, Las Vegas Internist)

Cost of botox in Las Vegas, NV
The cost of botox is usually charged per unit. In the state of Nevada, there is a law that requires a purchased vial of botox to only be used on one patient. The smallest vial sold is 50 units.
Our current price for 50 units is $430 per treatment. If you are paying more, you are really spending too much. I prefer to do all my own injections. Occasionally, upon request, I will use a vapocoolant spray that helps take the edge off the small needle sticks. (Bryson G. Richards, MD, Las Vegas Plastic Surgeon)
Botox is most commonly charged by the unit or by the area treated. Our office charges by the unit because this most accurately represents the actual amount of the product that the patient is receiving.
Botox is shipped in 100 unit vials and is then diluted by the administering nurse or physician. Because the amount of dilution can vary, the total amount of product used will vary so charging by the unit is most accurate.
It is also important to remember that the patient is also paying for the experience and training of the physician so that they receive the appropriate amount and that it is placed precisely and with professional standards of safety.
Botox is a very powerful medication and it should only be administered by a trained professional that is appropriately credentialed in that procedure and in a medical office environment where sterile technique and safety can be optimized.
Botox costs may vary from $10 – $15 per unit in most physician practices. (Frank Barone, MD, Toledo Plastic Surgeon)
Botox For Eyes Wrinkles
The cost involved when receiving botulinum toxin injections is somewhat variable. There is a cost of the material to the physician (what they pay for the vial) followed by the injection fee. Some practitioners will charge a certain dollar amount per the number of units injected.
There is a price per unit in this case. Other physicians will charge a set rate for each of the facial anatomic zones injected. These are the forehead, glabella (between the eyes) and the crows feet (around the eyes).
A physician essetially can set the rate to whatever they feel is appropriate, however, there is essentially a general dollar amount associated with a geographic location (New York City vs a rural community).
Like anything, supply and demand and number of physicians who inject in a particular geographic area will all affect the price.

I would be scrutinous of those who charge a tremendous amount compared to other practitioners and those who seem unusually low priced. (Michael A. Carron, MD, Detroit Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Botox costs for eyes depend on a few factors
There are a few factors that impact the cost of Botox.
Region where you live: Botox varies in cost based on cost of living in different cities. Botox may cost much more in NYC or Washington DC than in Baltimore or Nashville.
Dr. Elizabeth Hernandez Cardona, MD, San Antonio Physician – 43 Year Old Man Treated With Botox
Regardless of the city where you are getting injected, it is important to make certain you are being treated by an experienced injector.
You may want the cheapest Botox in your city but if done incorrectly it will cost you more in embarrassment and possible time lost from work, especially trying to explain why you can barely open your eyes instead of looking like you just had the best night’s sleep.
How the physician charges: Some practices charge by the area of the face injected while others charge by the unit of Botox used.
When being charged by the unit used, you can truly know that you are actually getting what you are paying for. An expert cosmetic physician like a dermatologist will give your the best results for the price.
Experience of the injector:Some practices charge less for a nurse or physician’s assistant to inject. I recommend staying with a practice that has experienced physician as the injector. (Robert A. Weiss, MD, Baltimore Dermatologic Surgeon)
In our area, $12-$14 a unit (or $250-300 per area treated) is about the going rate. You can treat your frown lines, forehead, outer eyes, and in special circumstances the upper lip and corners of your mouth.
It’s important to choose an experienced injector more than it is to get the best deal though. Unwanted effects are very hard to reverse, so choose a good one! (Juan A. Brou, MD, Oklahoma City Plastic Surgeon)
