How Much Does Botox Cost? US Prices, Per Unit and Per Area
Answer first: Botox in the US typically costs $10–$20 per unit, and a typical single-visit treatment totals about $300–$500. The total is simply units × price per unit: a 36-unit forehead + frown-line visit at $13 per unit is about $468.
Typical totals by area (at $13 per unit)
| Area | Typical units | Typical total |
|---|---|---|
| Frown lines (glabella) | 20 | $260 |
| Forehead + frown lines combined | 30–40 | $390–$520 |
| Crow's feet | 12–24 | $156–$312 |
| Full upper face (forehead + frown + crow's feet) | 50–64 | $650–$832 |
| Lip flip | 4–8 | $52–$104 |
| Masseter / jaw slimming | 40–60 | $520–$780 |
| Underarm sweating | 100 | $1,300 |
What affects the price?
Units needed is the biggest factor — stronger muscles and larger treatment areas use more units. Geography matters: major metro clinics charge more per unit than suburban or rural practices. Provider experience and setting matter too: a physician-led med spa will usually price above a discount chain. Product choice (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau) changes unit counts and sometimes per-unit price. Finally, promotions — manufacturer rewards programs and first-visit offers can lower a first total, but the sustainable comparison is always units × a fair per-unit price.
How long results last affects true cost
Results commonly last around 3–4 months for cosmetic areas, so a $468 visit repeated three times a year is roughly $1,400 per year. Budgeting on the yearly figure — not the single visit — is the honest way to compare Botox with alternatives.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Botox cost per unit in the US?
Most US providers charge $10–$20 per unit, with $13 a common mid-point used in this calculator. Large cities and highly experienced injectors tend to sit at the top of the range.
Why do some clinics charge per area instead?
Per-area pricing bundles the dose into one flat fee. It can be simpler, but it hides how many units you actually receive — ask for the unit count either way so you can compare clinics fairly.
