Botox Cost
Botox which is commonly known as virtual plastic surgery has got a varied cost structure. It is a testament to the simplicity of the Botox procedure that the price is generally very low. For instance, one treatment of Botox, on one area of the face patient can expect to pay around four hundred dollars. If patient wish to add other areas of their face to the treatment the price will go up, but not substantially.
The majority of the cost associated with Botox is the time and counseling provided by their physician. He or she would have spent hour and hours learning and keeping up to date with innovations in the industry in hopes of maximizing their experience with Botox. Other than that, it is simply a matter of their doctor's time and energy. If patient are really feeling the money crunch may be tempted to look for the lowest possible price on a Botox treatment.
Make sure that patient is not suckered into paying for each individual injection. This does not guarantee results and doctors who charge in this manner often dilute the potency of the injection so they can sell more syringes. If the doctor insists that, this is how the pricing is done; insist on the following volumes of active agent per dose, 30-50 units of Botox, 60-200 units of Dysport and 750-2,500 units of Myobloc. These doses are needed to get rid of the wrinkles on the majority of patients? faces.
The cost of Botox injections depends both on the number of units used as well as how diluted the solution is. Different practitioners will also, depending on where they practice and the conditions of supply and demand in that area, charges different fees. The average cost per Botox session in the United States is around three hundred and fifty dollars. In Canada, a single injection can cost from $300 to $500 Canadian dollars. Areas that require more than a single injection such as the area beside the eyes where so-called crow's feet tend to form can range from $400 to $900 dollars and larger surface areas such as the forehead can cost as little as $600 and as much as $1300 USD.
The toxin that makes Botox so successful is relatively cheap on its own and there is no anesthesia or operating room fees. In fact one vile of the Botox serum costs around 20 dollars.
