How is Botox Priced?
Botox is priced per unit. A “unit” is simply a measure of the amount of Botox used. The total cost of your treatment is determined by the number of units needed to treat your specific areas of concern. This can vary significantly from person to person based on:
- Muscle Strength: Stronger muscles (like the frown muscles or a man’s forehead) require more units to relax.
- Treatment Area: Larger areas require more units than smaller ones.
- Desired Outcome: A very subtle, preventative treatment will use fewer units than one aimed at correcting deeper, more established lines.
At Banyan & Bamboo, our prices are $13 per unit for Botox and $4.75 per unit for Dysport.
Estimated Botox Costs by Treatment Area
While a personalized consultation is the only way to get an exact quote, these are typical unit ranges for common treatment areas:
| Treatment Area | Average Units | Estimated Cost (@ $13/unit) |
|---|---|---|
| Forehead Lines | 10-20 units | $130 - $260 |
| Frown Lines (“11s”) | 20-30 units | $260 - $390 |
| Crow’s Feet | 20-30 units (total) | $260 - $390 |
| Masseter (Jaw Slimming) | 40-60 units (total) | $520 - $780 |
| Lip Flip | 4-6 units | $52 - $78 |
How Are Dermal Fillers Priced?
Dermal fillers, such as Juvéderm or Restylane, are priced per syringe or per area. Unlike Botox, which relaxes muscles, fillers restore volume, build structure, and fill in static lines. The number of syringes needed depends entirely on your goals and the area being treated.
- Subtle lip enhancement: May require only half a syringe.
- Cheek or jawline contouring: May require 1-2 syringes per side.
Filler pricing varies by the type of product used. For example, thicker fillers designed for building structure (like Juvéderm Voluma) cost more per syringe than softer fillers for fine lines. Explore our dermal filler services to learn more.
The RHA Collection: A Modern Approach to Fillers
At Banyan & Bamboo, we specialize in the RHA Collection of fillers. These are the latest generation of hyaluronic acid fillers, designed to be resilient and move naturally with your facial expressions. This prevents the stiff or “done” look that can sometimes occur with older fillers. They are ideal for dynamic areas like the lips and around the mouth.
What is Masseter Botox and How Much Does It Cost?
Masseter Botox is a targeted treatment that involves injecting Botox into the large masseter muscles at the back of the jaw. It’s used for two main purposes:
- Jawline Slimming: By relaxing the muscle, it can slim the appearance of a wide or square jaw, creating a more V-shaped facial contour.
- TMJ & Teeth Grinding Relief: It can provide significant relief from the pain, tension, and headaches associated with bruxism (teeth grinding).
Treatment typically requires 20-30 units per side (40-60 units total), with an estimated cost of $520 - $780 per session. Results last approximately 4-6 months.
Investing in Quality: Why Price Isn’t Everything
While cost is an important consideration, it shouldn’t be the only one. When it comes to injectables, you are paying for the skill, experience, and artistic eye of your injector. An experienced provider who prioritizes safety and natural-looking results is an investment in your outcome.
Bargain-hunting for Botox can be risky. Low prices may indicate a diluted product, an inexperienced injector, or an unsafe environment. At Banyan & Bamboo, you are always treated by a licensed medical professional in a pristine, clinical setting. Learn about our editorial standards and commitment to quality.
