Botox Treatments Cost

Typical costs:

• Typically, treatments run $300-$1,200 depending on how much you need and who administers it. Treatments may be every 3 months.
• A nurse administering Botox in a mall on average costs $9-$12 per unit, or $200-$300 per area (with 20-30 units), which can run $200-$600 for a typical treatment.
• A dermatologist or plastic surgeon administering Botox at a medical office on average costs $14-$17 per unit of Botox, or $600 to $1,200 or more for multiple areas.

• Some skin care centers, for example at malls are cheaper, but you'll want to check first on the quality of service they provide (see shopping for Botox, below)
• It may save money to have a group of friends have a "Botox party," which can cost 10-20% less, in large part because it can take less time.
• Even dermatologists or plastic surgeons may offer discounts, especially if you are a regular customer or purchase multiple services. You may also get a discount if you refer new customers.

• If you do seek Botox treatments, we recommend visiting a qualified person who purchases botox directly from the manufacturer. A list is available at Allergan's website.
• You can also find a board certified physician by visiting the American Academy of Dermatology[1] or the American Society of Plastic Surgeons[2] .
• One way to find a provider is to schedule a skin check with your dermatologist, and ask your dermatologist for a recommendation or whether they themselves offer the service. Your dermatologist may also be able to give you a sense of what kind of treatment could be right for you.
• On February 8, 2008, the FDA, in an ongoing safety review of botox and botox cosmetic, announced that in rare instances, children treated with Botox had been hospitalized and even died.
