Botox is an FDA and Health Canada-approved purified non-animal protein that relaxes selected animation muscles. The most commonly targeted areas are between the frown lines, crow’s feet around the sides of the eyes, and worry lines on the forehead.
Botox injectable treatments take 15 – 30 minutes, and most patients return to work immediately after the procedure. Botox may cause muscle spasms, but this is a rare side effect.
The results of a single Botox injectable last between 3 to 6 months.
At SpaMedica, we charge by the total number of Botox Injectable units used. To have your Botox injectable treatment performed by one of Toronto’s top cosmetic doctors, Dr. Amber Chen, the cost per unit is $13.65. Alternatively, we have highly experienced nurse injectors, the cost per unit is $11.55.
Just like “mg” measures medication and “ml” measures liquids, “units” measure the strength and amount of Botox Injectable.
One unit of Botox is the amount required to attain a specific level of muscle relaxation. The more units used, the greater the degree of muscle relaxation. Larger animation muscles require more units than smaller, more delicate areas.
The number of units for your specific needs will be discussed during your initial consultation, but these figures should be used as a general guide.
To determine the cost of your Botox Injectable treatment, multiply the number of units by the unit price. For example, 10 units would cost $100 at $10 per unit.
Botox Injectable and dermal fillers like Juvederm, Sculptra, and Revanesse are non-invasive cosmetic procedures that use different ingredients but often offer the same results. Talk to Dr. Amber Chen and her team to determine which injectable option is best for you.
