Call or book an appointment with Victoria Plastic Surgery Center for a pricing estimate on your Botox procedure and read on to see what factors will determine pricing.

Several factors affect Botox’s price, such as where you live, how many units you need, and which area of your face is being treated (smaller areas are less expensive).

Board-certified dermatologists and plastic surgeons will charge you more than discount medspa providers. It is always recommended to receive Botox from board-certified plastic surgeons such as Dr. Suh, MD at Victoria Plastic Surgery Center.

A Botox injection is typically priced either by area (that is, a single injection can hold 3 to 5 units) or by unit (that is, a single injection holds 50 or 100 units of Botox). If you want a subtle softening effect, you will need fewer Botox units while if you want a dramatic smoothing effect, you will need more units.

Botox treatments are more frequently covered by insurance companies today, but only if they are therapeutic. The injections may be covered by your insurance if your doctor recommends Botox treatment for migraines. However, most insurance companies do not cover cosmetic procedures, though you should contact them first to be sure.

How many Botox units are required will vary from patient to patient. However, there is a general rule of thumb for how many Botox units are used in popular treatment areas.

The forehead is one of the most popular areas for Botox Cosmetic applications. As well as maintaining a smoother, tighter appearance, neurotoxin injections also prevent the formation of new fine lines and wrinkles across the forehead. Dermatologists develop individualized treatment plans for every patient, but they typically begin by considering the average amount. It is recommended that four units of Botox Cosmetic be injected at each injection site (20 total units) when treating the forehead. The number of units administered by dermatologists varies depending on the patient’s needs and treatment history.

A popular application site for Botox Cosmetic is the line between the eyes, called the elevens or frown lines. The development of these wrinkles can be very deep, so Botox is a great option for preventing their development or halting their progression. To minimize the appearance of existing wrinkles between the eyebrows, your dermatologist may recommend a combination of cosmetic dermatology solutions, followed by Botox injections to prevent the occurrence of new lines. To achieve the desired results, dermatologists recommend between 20 and 50 units per injection site (25 total units).

Dermatologists don’t want to apply too much neurotoxin around the eyes, but deep wrinkles and lines may require a more aggressive approach. The right number of units for Botox treatment at the corners of the eyes is critical, and it is a difficult balance to strike. If you need to achieve your desired results safely, your dermatologist may suggest some trial treatments with lower doses. A dermatologist may provide between 20 and 50 units of Botox between the eyebrows, depending on the individual’s needs and their response to treatment, as with Botox treatment between the eyebrows.

Three to four months is the typical duration of Botox treatment results. There have been cases where Botox results have lasted up to six months. However, Botox can also wear off sooner than expected in some cases. These cases may require a touch-up Botox treatment or more frequent Botox treatments. Botox follow-ups will have a cost associated although some people may require fewer units of Botox to maintain their results resulting in lower costs.
