The average cost of one Botox treatment in San Francisco, CA is around $400 to $600, but it can vary on either end of that average, sometimes even over $1,000, depending on how much Botox you would like to receive. The cost is done primarily by unit, and each unit costs anywhere from $10 to $15, which adds up if you require close to 50 units of Botox to achieve your desired results. If you wish to be given an accurate estimate of costs for your next Botox treatment, schedule a consultation today to speak to a medical professional that can help decipher a skin rejuvenation plan to achieve your desired results, as well as your desired budget.

The three main factors that will determine the total cost of your Botox treatments consist of how much product is required to achieve your desired results (the number of units required to purchase), the number of areas you wish to have treated with Botox, and the amount that is required by the medical professional who will be performing the injections. There are several different areas even just on the face that are commonly treated with Botox, including the forehead, between the eyebrows, the crow’s feet, frown lines, lip lines, smile lines, sharp jawline, and more. Some clients only wish to receive Botox injections as a preventative measure or to treat a specific area, which will lower the total cost of the treatment. However, the total cost can start to add up for clients who wish to have more work done all over. As well, it is important to make sure that the medical professional who is providing the injections is highly skilled and qualified. This is not an area for which you should be trying to cut costs since the skill level of the injector can determine how natural the treatment ends up appearing.

Unfortunately, most major insurance companies will only cover Botox treatments if they are determined as Botox therapy, meaning if they are to treat conditions such as excessive sweating, neck spasms, or a lazy eye. Most insurances will not offer any coverage for purely cosmetic procedures. However, it is worth looking into, so still, reach out to your insurance provider to see what kind of coverage they are able to offer, and check with the clinic that will be providing the treatments to ensure that they are able to accept your insurance.

The average number of units that are required for varying Botox treatments can range anywhere from 10 to 50 units, depending on how many and which areas will need to be treated. A typical estimate for the number of units is four units per injection site, with many clients opting for around 5 sites to be treated, totaling 20 units in all. 20 units are likely all that is needed to treat between the eyes and right above the forehead. Treatments for crow’s feet alone average around 10-12 units per eye, totaling 20-24 units that are required. For more accurate estimates of how many units will be needed to attain the results you want, speak to a Botox specialist near you to learn more.

It is very common for Botox specialists to offer free touch-ups for around 2 weeks after your treatment. This allows them to avoid using an unnecessary amount of product by only using as much as they think you will likely require, and then determine once your face has healed more if any areas require a little bit more Botox injected. It is important to ask your specialist at the consultation if this is an option that they offer. For more information, contact us or book an appointment online.
