How Much is Botox®?

The creases that appear when you laugh, smile, or frown will relax away when you are younger, but as you age, they begin to appear even when your face is at rest. Botox® targets expression lines and wrinkles to give you a refreshed, youthful appearance without surgery. This injectable treatment gives you a natural-looking, rejuvenated appearance. 

What is Botox®?

Injectable cosmetic treatments remain popular due to their lack of downtime and effective results. Botox® is used to target lines and wrinkles such as glabellar lines (creases between the brows), forehead lines, and crow’s feet. El Paso Cosmetic Surgery is an Allergan Top 50 practice, meaning the manufacturer of Botox® has recognized them for their superior results and level of expertise. 

How Much is Botox®?

The cost of Botox® varies widely according to many factors. Botox® can be priced by the unit or by the area of the face being treated. The average price per unit of Botox® ranges from $10 to $25. The number of units needed depends on the area of the face and whether you prefer a subtle or more noticeable result. At El Paso Cosmetic Surgery, we will usually offer a cost per area of the face. This allows us to customize your results without being limited to an exact number of units. 

Other factors that affect your Botox® cost include:

• Your location
• Your provider’s skill and experience
• Available discounts or other ways to save
• The areas being treated

As an Allergan Top 50 provider, we are able to offer competitive pricing for Botox® and other Allergan products. We recommend a consultation so we can provide you with an accurate estimate. 

How Does Botox® Work?

Botox® works using a compound called botulinum toxin. This compound temporarily stops your facial nerves from telling muscles to contract. Without the contractions of facial muscles, your expression lines relax and disappear. Because Botox® injections are precisely targeted, Botox® can stop activity from the nerves causing your wrinkles without affecting your normal facial expressions. 

How Long Does Botox® Last?

Each person’s response to Botox® is unique. Most people will start to see results within a few days, although they can take up to a week to develop fully. Treatment usually lasts three to four months. Experienced Botox® users may see their results last longer than those who are new to treatment. Using sunscreen and quality skincare will help Botox® results last. 

Am I a Good Candidate for Botox®?

Botox® is a safe, effective treatment with decades of use in medical and aesthetic fields. Good candidates want to relax or prevent the appearance of expression lines and wrinkles. While most people can have Botox® safely, you should not have injections in an area with an active skin condition or infection. You should also not have Botox® if you have certain medical conditions or are pregnant.
