What is the cost of Botox treatment

A Transparent Guide from the Experts at Get Tox’d

At Get Tox’d, one of the most frequent questions we hear from new clients is:
“How much does Botox cost?”
The answer depends on a few important factors—including your treatment goals, the number of units used, and the expertise of your injector.

In this blog, we break it all down for you, using insights from recent medical studies, industry pricing reports, and our own experience at Get Tox’d.

Average Botox Cost in the U.S. (2024–2025)

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and recent aesthetic market research published in Dermatologic Clinics (2023), the average cost per unit of Botox in the U.S. ranges from:

$10 to $20 per unit
Most treatment areas require 20 to 64 units, depending on your muscle strength, goals, and area treated.

Study Insight: A 2023 analysis in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery found that the national average cost for a full Botox treatment (forehead, glabella, crow’s feet) ranges from $300 to $650, with higher-end providers offering more specialized results.

Botox Pricing: Per Unit vs. Per Area

At Get Tox’d, we typically charge per unit—which offers greater transparency and customization for your treatment plan.

Why "Per Unit" Pricing Is More Precise:

You pay only for what you need
Dosing is adjusted based on muscle strength, facial asymmetry, and desired softness
Ideal for touch-ups or preventative Botox (which requires fewer units)

For example:
Forehead lines: 10–20 units
Frown lines (11s): 15–25 units
Crow’s feet: 10–24 units total (both sides)

What You’re Really Paying For

While the Botox product itself plays a role in pricing, what you're really investing in is the skill and safety of your injector.

At Get Tox’d, our prices reflect:

Medically licensed providers trained in the Tox’d Technique
Advanced anatomical knowledge
Customized dosing for natural-looking results
Safe, clinical setting that meets or exceeds medical guidelines

2022 Journal of Aesthetic Nursing reports that patients treated by certified aesthetic specialists had significantly fewer side effects and a higher satisfaction rate compared to non-specialist providers.

Cost vs. Longevity: Is It Worth It?

Botox typically lasts 3 to 4 months, though some patients experience effects for up to 6 months with regular maintenance.

Compared to other cosmetic options, Botox remains one of the most affordable non-surgical treatments.

A study published in Aesthetic Surgery Journal (2023) found that Botox offered the highest return on investment (ROI) for wrinkle reduction among non-invasive cosmetic procedures.

Beware of “Too-Good-to-Be-True” Pricing

While deals and Groupon-style offers may seem tempting, extremely low Botox prices are often a red flag. You could be risking:

Diluted product
Inexperienced injectors
Poor results or complications

At Get Tox’d, we believe in transparent, ethical pricing. We use only FDA-approved neurotoxins (Botox®, Xeomin®, Dysport®) sourced directly from the manufacturer.
