the muscles to relax. Facial wrinkles disappear almost instantly, creating a
more youthful appearance.Back to top

women, nursing mothers, those who are allergic to Botulinum Toxin Type A,
those who have a history of botulism poisoning, and patients taking other

While the majority of BOTOX® patients are women, many men are seeking the
treatment as well. BOTOX® injections for men are a very subtle way to
improve the appearance of the face, and as the procedure takes so little
time, a busy man can conceivably have the procedure done on his lunch break
and head right back to the office.Back to top

What is BOTOX® Cosmetic – Average Cost?

come into play when determining your final BOTOX® treatment cost.

What is BOTOX® Injection Cost Breakdown?
Most practices have a flat cost for each injection of BOTOX® Cosmetic,
though some will break it down by “units” used per treatment. Flat rates are
usually somewhere between $300 and $1000, while per-unit rates are usually
around $15-20 per unit. Each vial contains 100 units, or
enough for about 4 or 5 treatments, the vial must be used within a few
hours of opening, so if the entire vial is not used, the physician will
often have to throw the rest out.

Recently, there has been an emerging trend of “BOTOX® Cosmetic parties,” in
which several people gather at a physician’s house or another location to
have BOTOX® Cosmetic injections at a lower cost. While prices for treatment
may be somewhat lower at a BOTOX® Cosmetic party than for treatment
administered during a normal office visit, the situation may not be ideal.
The American Academy of Dermatology and the American Society of Aesthetic
Plastic Surgery have both issued warnings against such “parties,” as they
have reservations about the ability of the physician to provide a safe and
sterile environment outside of their office.
