Botox Cost 2026: $8.99–$13 Per Unit & Treatment Area Guide
Botox costs $8.99 to $13 per unit at LeVogue Med Spa, so 20 units cost $179.80 to $260, while 40 units cost $359.60 to $520. Your actual total depends on how many units your provider recommends for the muscles and areas you want treated.
New patients can also receive $50 off their first visit.
For broader context, a 2026 CareCredit cost study reports a national average of $445 per BOTOX Cosmetic treatment, with a range of $325 to $710. Those are session-level averages, so they should not be compared directly with a per-unit quote.
The most useful way to estimate your own cost is to start with the number of units. If you are weighing Botox, the unit count from your consultation is what turns these figures into a real quote.
Botox Cost Calculator by Number of Units
At LeVogue's current $8.99-to-$13 per-unit price, 10 units cost $89.90 to $130 and 100 units cost $899 to $1,300.
These numbers are price calculations, not recommended Botox doses. Your provider should determine the appropriate number of units after assessing your facial anatomy, muscle activity, treatment areas, and the amount of movement you want to keep.
A lower unit count is not automatically better, and a higher one is not automatically more effective. The goal is to use an appropriate treatment plan for your anatomy and desired result.
Want an Exact Botox Quote?
A free consultation can give you a personalized unit recommendation and a clearer total before you decide on treatment.
Rather than choosing a unit count from a price table, bring your main concerns to the consultation and ask how many units are being proposed for each area.
How Much Does Botox Cost Per Unit?
Botox costs $8.99 to $13 per unit at LeVogue, and your total is calculated from the number of units used.
A Botox “unit” is a standardized measure of the product's biological activity. It is not the same thing as one injection or a specific volume of liquid. Several injection points may be used to place a recommended dose across one treatment area. Our complete guide explains how the treatment works and how long results last if you want the full picture before pricing it out.
BOTOX Cosmetic units also should not be compared directly with units of other botulinum toxin products. The FDA-approved prescribing information states that BOTOX Cosmetic units are specific to that product and cannot be converted into units of another botulinum toxin preparation.
Per-unit pricing can make a quote easier to understand because you can ask:
How many units are planned?
Which areas will receive those units?
What is the price per unit?
What will the estimated treatment total be?
Some practices instead charge by treatment area. Area pricing is not necessarily better or worse, but you should still ask how many units are included so you understand what you are paying for.
How Much Is Forehead Botox?
The FDA-labeled BOTOX Cosmetic treatment for forehead lines includes 20 units in the forehead plus 20 units in the glabellar area between the brows, for 40 units total. At LeVogue's rate, 40 units cost $359.60 to $520.
This is important because the phrase “forehead Botox” can mean different things in everyday conversation.
Some people mean the horizontal lines across the forehead. Others use “forehead” to describe the entire upper center of the face, including the vertical frown lines or “11s” between the eyebrows.
The frontalis muscle raises the eyebrows and contributes to horizontal forehead lines. The corrugator and procerus muscles contribute to glabellar or frown lines.
For FDA-labeled treatment of moderate to severe forehead lines, the prescribing information recommends treating the forehead together with the glabellar area. A personalized treatment plan may differ depending on what is being treated and whether a use is on-label or off-label.
Upper-Face Botox Dose and Price Estimates
FDA-labeled upper-face doses provide a useful pricing reference, although your provider still needs to determine whether a treatment is appropriate for you.
The current prescribing information lists 20 units for glabellar lines, 24 total units for lateral canthal lines or crow's feet, and a recommended total of 40 units for forehead lines treated with glabellar lines. Treating all three upper-face areas uses 64 units under the labeled dosing pattern.
These are labeled doses for specific indications, not a menu that every patient should automatically follow.
How Much Is a Full Face of Botox?
There is no universal dose or price for “full-face Botox” because full face is not a standardized BOTOX Cosmetic treatment area.
Some people use “full face” to mean the three common upper-face areas: forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet. The FDA-labeled treatment of those three areas uses 64 units, which would cost $575.36 to $832 at LeVogue's current rate.
Other full-face plans may refer to additional areas around the brows, nose, lips, chin, jaw, or neck. Some of these uses may be off-label, while BOTOX Cosmetic now has an FDA-approved indication for moderate to severe platysma bands in the neck.
Because different muscles require different placement and dosing, a 64-unit upper-face treatment should not be treated as the standard dose for every “full-face” appointment.
If you receive a package quote for 60, 80, or 100 units, ask where those units are intended to go rather than choosing the package based on quantity alone.
What Factors Affect Botox Cost?
The number of units used has the biggest direct effect on Botox cost, but anatomy, treatment area, goals, and the provider's treatment plan also matter.
1. Number of Units
More units increase the total when Botox is priced per unit.
A focused treatment may require fewer units than a plan involving several muscle groups. Your quote should clearly show the proposed unit count.
2. Treatment Area
Different treatment areas require different dosing patterns because they involve different muscles.
Crow's feet involve the orbicularis oculi around the eyes. Forehead lines involve the frontalis, while glabellar lines involve muscles including the corrugator and procerus.
That is why comparing two treatments only by the number of injection points can be misleading.
3. Facial Anatomy and Muscle Activity
People treating the same concern may receive different recommendations because facial structure and muscle strength vary.
Brow position, natural asymmetry, muscle activity, line pattern, previous response to treatment, and other anatomical factors can influence a treatment plan.
More units are not automatically better. The appropriate amount depends on the individual assessment. It also helps to understand who tends to be a good candidate so your plan fits your goals rather than a fixed number of units.
4. How Much Movement You Want to Keep
Your preferred result can influence how your provider approaches treatment.
Someone looking for subtle softening may have a different treatment discussion from someone who wants stronger reduction in visible muscle movement.
Explain your preference clearly during the consultation rather than assuming everyone receives the same plan.
5. What the Quote Includes
A useful Botox quote should make the product, unit count, price, and treatment areas easy to understand.
Before comparing providers, ask whether there are separate consultation, treatment, or follow-up charges and whether an advertised price has eligibility requirements.
A low advertised number does not tell you much if you do not know how many units you are receiving.
What Is the Average Botox Cost?
A 2026 national cost study reports an average BOTOX Cosmetic treatment price of $445, but individual treatment costs can vary widely.
CareCredit's 2026 study lists a national range of $325 to $710 per treatment and an average of $445. Its state-level data lists an average of $540 in California.
These figures are useful as market context, not as a prediction of your bill.
A session average can include patients receiving very different unit counts and treatment areas. For a person comparing per-unit Botox prices, the more useful questions are usually:
What is the cost per unit?
How many units are recommended?
What areas are included?
Are any additional fees involved?
At LeVogue, the current per-unit range is $8.99 to $13, allowing you to calculate the estimated cost once you know the proposed unit count.
How Much Does Botox Cost Per Year?
Your yearly Botox cost depends on the number of units per treatment and how often you choose to return for maintenance.
BOTOX Cosmetic results for facial lines may last up to about four months, although individual results vary. The prescribing information also states that the safety and effectiveness of treatment more frequently than every three months have not been clinically evaluated.
For budgeting purposes, here is what three appointments in one year would cost at LeVogue's current rate:
This is a budgeting example, not a recommended treatment schedule. Some people return at different intervals based on their response, goals, treatment areas, and provider guidance. If you plan to maintain your results, it can help to spread routine visits across the year with a membership rather than paying visit by visit.
Does Insurance Cover Botox?
Health insurance generally does not cover Botox used only for cosmetic purposes, but coverage may be available when BOTOX is prescribed for an eligible medical condition.
BOTOX and BOTOX Cosmetic share the active ingredient onabotulinumtoxinA, but their indications, treatment plans, dosing, and billing are not interchangeable.
BOTOX has FDA-approved medical uses that include conditions such as chronic migraine, adult overactive bladder, cervical dystonia, certain forms of spasticity, and severe primary underarm sweating. Coverage varies by plan and may involve prior authorization or other requirements.
The cosmetic price calculations in this article should not be used to estimate a medically prescribed BOTOX treatment.
If treatment is for a medical condition, contact your insurer and the medical office handling the treatment to ask about coverage, deductibles, copays, network rules, and prior authorization.
How Can You Lower Botox Costs Without Cutting Corners?
The safest ways to lower Botox costs focus on legitimate discounts, rewards, and treatment planning rather than choosing an unknown product or unqualified injector.
Consider these options:
Use the new-patient offer: New patients at LeVogue can receive $50 off their first visit.
Join Allē: Allē is the official Allergan Aesthetics loyalty program for BOTOX Cosmetic. Members can earn points on eligible treatments and redeem qualifying rewards for savings.
Treat your highest-priority area first: If your provider agrees that a focused treatment is appropriate, starting with the concern that matters most can reduce the initial total.
Ask for the unit count before treatment: Knowing the proposed units and cost per unit makes it easier to budget and compare.
Ask about payment options: LeVogue currently lists CareCredit and Cherry among its financing options. Approval and financing terms depend on the provider and applicant.
Do not assume cosmetic Botox automatically qualifies for HSA or FSA funds. IRS guidance generally excludes procedures performed only to improve appearance from qualifying medical expenses, with limited exceptions. Check your plan and applicable tax rules before using tax-advantaged funds.
Is Cheap Botox a Red Flag?
A low Botox price is not automatically a red flag, but a provider who cannot explain the product source, credentials, dose, or treatment setting should raise concern.
That distinction matters because legitimate pricing varies considerably. LeVogue's current $8.99-to-$13 rate, for example, can be below some published national per-unit estimates without making price alone a useful measure of treatment quality.
The CDC recommends that people receiving botulinum toxin injections verify that the provider has a valid healthcare license and that the product comes from an authorized source of FDA-approved botulinum toxin. The FDA has also warned companies about unapproved and misbranded botulinum toxin products.
Before treatment, ask:
Is the injector appropriately licensed and trained?
Is the product authentic BOTOX Cosmetic?
Was it obtained from an authorized source?
How many units are being used?
Which muscles or treatment areas are receiving them?
What should you expect after treatment?
BOTOX Cosmetic also carries a boxed warning about the potential spread of toxin effects. Seek emergency medical attention if symptoms such as difficulty swallowing or breathing, significant muscle weakness, or double or blurred vision occur after an injection.
Price matters, but it should be compared alongside the product, provider qualifications, treatment plan, and safety standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is $200 Enough for Botox?
Yes, $200 can cover a smaller Botox treatment at LeVogue, depending on the number of units your provider recommends.
At $8.99 per unit, $200 covers up to about 22 units before any applicable discount. At $13 per unit, it covers about 15 units.
For reference, the FDA-labeled dose for glabellar or frown lines is 20 units, which costs $179.80 to $260 at LeVogue. Whether $200 is enough for your treatment therefore depends on the area, recommended dose, and final per-unit price.
How Many Units of Botox Can $400 Buy?
At LeVogue's $8.99-to-$13 rate, $400 equals roughly 30 to 44 Botox units.
At $13 per unit, 30 units cost $390. At $8.99 per unit, 44 units cost $395.56.
That does not mean you should request a specific number simply to spend the full budget. Ask your provider for an appropriate treatment plan first, then calculate the total.
How Much Does 100 Units of Botox Cost?
One hundred units of Botox cost $899 to $1,300 at LeVogue's current per-unit rate.
A 100-unit vial size does not mean a cosmetic patient should receive 100 units. BOTOX Cosmetic is available in 50- and 100-unit single-dose vials, while the appropriate treatment dose depends on the indication and treatment plan. For independent background on how dermatologists approach Botox injections and what a single vial represents, Mayo Clinic provides a clear overview of the procedure.
How Much Does Botox Cost in California?
A 2026 CareCredit study lists the average BOTOX Cosmetic treatment cost in California at $540, but individual prices can differ substantially.
That figure represents an average treatment cost, not a required price or dose. Unit count, treatment area, provider, practice type, and local market conditions can all change the total.
How Much Does Neck Botox Cost?
For FDA-approved treatment of platysma bands, BOTOX Cosmetic labeling recommends 26, 31, or 36 units depending on the band pattern, which equals about $233.74 to $468 at LeVogue's current rate.
Those doses apply specifically to the labeled treatment of moderate to severe platysma bands. “Neck Botox” can describe other concerns, so a consultation is needed to determine what is actually being treated.
How Much Does Botox Around the Mouth or Lower Face Cost?
There is no single standard Botox price or FDA-labeled dose for “around the mouth” or the lower face as one treatment area.
Uses such as a lip flip, gummy-smile treatment, chin treatment, or certain jawline treatments involve different muscles, and some uses may be off-label. The total depends on the exact concern and number of units recommended. The American Academy of Dermatology answers common questions about botulinum toxin safety, including why verifying a valid healthcare license and an authentic product matters before any injection.
A provider should identify the muscle being treated, explain whether the use is on-label or off-label when relevant, and give you the expected unit count before treatment.
Get a Personalized Botox Price
The most accurate Botox price comes from knowing exactly how many units are appropriate for your treatment plan.
Use the tables above to understand the math, then schedule a free consultation for an individualized recommendation. New patients can also receive $50 off their first visit.
Ask about the treatment areas, proposed unit count, price per unit, expected total, product authenticity, and how much natural movement you would like to keep.
That gives you something more useful than an advertised price alone: a clear plan for your face and your budget.
