Doctors calculate the cost of Botox® based on a per unit basis. A dose of Botox® in San Diego will typically range from $15 to $20 per unit, and the recommended amount will depend on the procedure.
For a procedure that requires more units, like horizontal forehead lines, you can expect to pay $300-$400.
When Botox® injections are performed by reputable, experienced doctors and nurse practitioners, the health risks are low. However, health problems are possible, including immediate allergic reactions if you are unaware of an underlying allergy to Botox®.
Serious symptoms may occur when injections are administered improperly. A reputable clinic will provide important safety information to inform you of health risks. If you are pregnant or nursing, contact your doctor prior to receiving treatment to discuss potential risks to you and your baby.
Botox® injections won't make you feel numb or lose sensation, but they could interfere with muscle movement. In addition, you may experience an abnormal facial change shortly after Botox® injection. These are common side-effects of Botox® that are neither permanent nor serious.
Botox® injections are not painful, but you may experience pain or swelling at the injection site and mild dizziness as side effects. In addition, skin infections may occur if left untreated. Contact your doctor immediately should you have any concerns.
Botox® typically lasts 3 to 4 months on average. Individuals getting Botox® for the first time may notice that it won't work as well initially; however, subsequent treatments may extend its duration even more.
