How much to buy botox serum?

Answer 1

BOTOX cosmetic is measured in units. Each bottle of BOTOX cosmetic that a doctor receives contains 100 units of BOTOX cosmetic as freeze-dried powder which must be diluted with saline-water added- in order to be injected. For maximum benefit, it is recommended that a patient receive a minimum of 25-50 units between the eyebrows to smooth frown lines, 25-35 units for forehead lines, and 10-15 units for each eye area (crow's feet), to achieve results that last 90-120 days.

Answer 2

It depends on what size syringe is being used. They can be anywhere from 1ml to 100ml. 1cc of botox (or botox/saline solution) equals 1ml. If you are trying to compare prices between per cc and per syringe find out: 1. Dilution ratios for each doctor. The more parts saline to botox, the weaker the botox injection. 2. What size syringe the doctor at the price/per syringe place uses. Then do your math. For example: Doctor 1 has a dilution ratio of 1:1 ( 1 part botox to 1 part saline). He charges $220 per syringe, and the syringe size is 10ml. Doctor 2 (by the cc) has a dilution ratio of 1:2 (1 part botox to 2 parts saline). He charges $10 per unit (cc). For doctor 1: A) Take the cost of the syringe ($220) and divide by the number of ml (10). The result is 220. B) Take the dilution ratio and divide the parts of botox by the parts of saline. The result is 1. C) Divide the result of A by the result of B to find out what your ACTUALLY paying for botox: $220/10=22; 22/1=22. $22 per ml (cc) of STRAIGHT, UNDILUTED BOTOX. For doctor 2: A) Take the dilution ratio and divide the parts of botox by the parts of saline. The result is 1/2 (one half, or .5). B) Take the cost per cc and divide by the results of A to find out what you are ACTUALLY paying for botox: 1/2=.5; 10/.5=20. $20 per ml (cc) of STRAIGHT, UNDILUTED BOTOX. Therefore, doctor B at $10 per unit has the best pricing. T his might seem complicated, but if you do each step on paper it is really quite easy.

Answer 3

Pricing of Botox injections varies by spa or practice. Some based their charges on the area being treated and others charge based on the actually units of Botox applied. The prices generally range from $12 to $15 per unit. Individual med spas or clinics may offer price promotions. Allergan, producers of Botox, occasionally offer promotions to the practices or directly to consumers.

$6.00 a unit + mark up. Med school is not cheap
