Frequently asked

How much does Botox cost?

Botox is priced per unit ($10–$20/unit in the US) or per area ($300–$500/area). A typical full upper-face treatment (forehead + glabella + crow's feet) runs 30–60 units, or roughly $400–$900.

How long does Botox last?

3–4 months for most patients. Newer products like Daxxify last 6 months on average. Faster metabolizers and very active facial expressions can shorten duration.

When does Botox start working?

Initial relaxation begins 2–3 days after injection. Full effect lands around day 14. Don't judge the result before then, and don't ask for touch-ups before two weeks have passed.

Are there side effects of Botox?

Bruising at injection sites is the most common — usually resolves in days. Eyelid or brow ptosis happens in 1–3% of cases, almost always technique-related, and resolves as the Botox wears off. Headaches after the first treatment are common and self-limiting.

Does Botox prevent wrinkles long-term?

Yes — sustained Botox over years prevents the static lines that come from repeated muscle contraction. Many dermatologists consider Botox the most effective preventive aging intervention available.
