Typical pricing for Botox is $13 per unit. I think it takes about 20 units. So that would be $260. And if you continue to get it done on a schedule (I think it's every 26 weeks), eventually, you won't need it anymore!

thank you so much! I was wondering if it was something I can afford-and, I can! Now to think about it....................
Botox can impair the muscle there so that you can't continue to make the face that cuases that furrow. . . after you cease using that muscle, the lines can/will soften and eventually fade.
You may need a filler as well/instead, your Doc would tell you for sure.

I get botox every 3 to 3 1/2 months, and I LOVE it. I have my forehead done, my eyes, and around my mouth, and restelyne in my laugh lines around my cheeks. I love my doctor...he is a genius. (to me) he is in Chicago and I travel back and forth every few months. A few months back I was going to a formal ball and wanted just a light touch up so I went to a doctor here in Key west and I was not happy at all. He put it directly ON the few wrinkles that I was concerned with and it left my left eye looking heavy. I was not happy. It is slowly going away so my eyelid is going back to normal again. It really upset me as I had my eyes done recently and I was not happy to be looking at that droop again! My Chicago surgeon always puts it above my wrinkles so is trickles downward and that really works for me. I will never go to anyone else. I also found the price to vary in differnt places. Good luck Nishi! I just love botox! (when its done right!!)
You are so lucky to have a good doctor!
I really want to get my forehead done, but I am afraid of them using too much or doing it wrong and making my face look weird.
Anyone in Northern Virginia got a recommendation?
I have had botox several times in my forehead and once for crows feet. I had it done in NC when I used to live there. It was 250 for each area and every third visit was only 150. It usually lasts for about 3 1/2 months . If you get it done as soon as it wears off it will last longer the second time. I think it has helped me from forming deeper and more wrinkles. It is funny when I have it done people always assume I am around 22 years old and I am 35! Love it! I am hoping to get it done again when I go back home for a few months this summer. Maybe some restalyne for smile lines and collagen too.
I just had the 11's dome, mainly becuase I squint so much in the summer and I hate looking so darn angry all the time especially when I'm happy...I just have the sun in my eyes!!! LOL!! I paid $180 and had 20 units done. He did the area right above my eyebrows, almost like a V if you include the 11's area. I had botox done about 4 years ago and was unhappy with the results, but I have a friend who works for a great Dr and she convinced me to try again. I am loving it this time.
Thanx Swanky...I'm still trying to get the nerve to go...have you heard that your eyelid can droop from botox? I would die if that happened to me...
