The amount of Botox injected into your body is measured in units; Botox pricing is typically between $10 to $15 dollars per unit. In Botox treatments, most areas require between 5 to 10 units, while some may only need a few, and others may require a few dozen.

The amount of Botox used in each treatment will vary from person to person and is highly dependent upon a number of factors, including:

– The strength of the muscle contraction
– The depth of the lines and wrinkles
– The expertise of the injector
– The geographic location of the clinic
– The desires of the patient
– The number of areas being treated

Because the results of Botox last for three to four months, if you want to maintain the results of your Botox treatment, you will need to receive 3-4 follow-up treatments a year.

Because cosmetic Botox is considered an elective procedure, meaning it is not medically necessary, it is usually not covered by insurance. However, if Botox is being used to treat a medical condition, such as blepharospasm, hyperhidrosis or cervical dystonia, it will likely be covered under a health insurance plan. The best way to find out if Botox is covered by insurance is to call your insurance provider and ask them to review your plan features.

The number of Botox units you will need depends on a number of factors, including your face, the severity of wrinkles, the strength of your muscles, and your desired results. More units will provide a more dramatic smoothing effect; however, they will also restrict more muscle movement in your face. Fewer units will provide a much more subtle softening effect; however, it can also allow for possible expression to still be made. When you have your initial consultation with your provider, they will be able to advise on how many units you require and the cost; this is the most accurate estimate you can receive. While a one-on-one consultation with a Botox injection specialist is the only way to know for sure how many units you will need, the following is a list of common treatment areas and uses of Botox, as well as the average number of units needed to address these concerns:

– Forehead (10-30 units)
– Between Eyebrows (10-25 units)
– Upper Eyebrow (2-5 units each side)
– Crow’s Feet (5-15 units each side)
– Bunny Lines (5-10 units each side)
– Dimpled Chin (2-6 units)
– Smile Lines (3-6 units each side)
– Neck Bands (25-50 units)
– Non-Surgical Nose Job (2-4 units)
– Botox Lip Flip (10 units)
– Gummy Smile Treatment (2-4 units)
