Some offices charge by the unit, some charge by the area. At Epione the choice is yours and here's the information you'll need to decide what's best for you.
BOTOX is most often sold in units or areas. At Epione we will give the option of either paying by the unit or by the area in order to make the Botox costs more affordable for everyone.
Regardless of the Botox price and Botox cost structure it is important that you confirm that the person who will be injecting you has the proper credentials and experience. Legally, only a physician, dentist, registered nurse (RN) or physician assistant (PA) is permitted to inject BOTOX in California and most other states. This obviously excludes any person without the education and state licensing required by any of the aforementioned professionals. That being said, there is a wide disparity of experience with BOTOX among physicians, dentists, RN's and PA's. Obtaining the best results when injecting BOTOX is very technique dependant and the truth is the vast majority of medical professionals have very little experience with this treatment.
So although many people can inject Botox, not many of them should. It takes thousands of hours of practice, full knowledge of facial anatomy and a great artistic eye to produce great results. If you have seen frozen faces or unnatural facial expressions chances are the person got Botox treatments from a person who was not most experienced.
In 2009, the national average cost of a BOTOX injection for one are of treatment was just over $375. However, BOTOX treatment cost varies from area to area state to state. For example In 2009, the northeastern United States had the highest BOTOX average cost, at just over $500 per area, while the western states such as California and Washington had the lowest average Botox Prices, at under $370.
The cost of your BOTOX treatments may depend on some other factors as well. The qualifications of the doctors who is injection the Botox surgeon, and how many injections or how many units you are receiving may all play a role in when you are trying to assess your botox costs and the Botox price your doctor will charge you.
BOTOX prices and Botox costs vary from city to city and from practice to practice. In general, BOTOX prices may range from $7 per unit to $30 per unit. Factors affecting Botox price and Botox costs include the area in which you live, the amount of BOTOX purchased, and the physician who is injecting it. If you purchase by the unit it is important to know that the number of units you will receive. Botox costs are generally increased with them number of areas your are trying to treat.
The number of units you will need will depend on several factors, such as the strength and size of your muscles and the specific area being treated. The forehead typically requires fewer units than frown lines. Men typically require more units than women to treat the same area due to the relative strength of their muscles. These are only some of the factors that need to be considered when you are considering the cost of Botox, and comparing Botox prices. Your doctor should assess your individual needs to determine the number of units required and the correct injections sites.
At Epione we prefer to offer BOTOX costs by the area. Our practice is results oriented; we don't want to sell you units we want you to have a satisfactory treatment outcome. We will treat the area you want effectively no matter how many units it takes. And you won't have to be concerned that you aren't getting the units you paid for as you might be in another office. We maintain the Botox costs at the lowest possible.

If your physician charges by the area ask how many units you are receiving for a given price. This way you can make an informed comparison of how much your physician is charging compared to another physician. At Epione we normally inject 13 to 18 units per area. As we charge $100 per area this yields an average price of $7 per unit.
It's important to inquire about your physician's anesthesia and touch up policy. You don't want to get stuck with any hidden fees and you want to be able to get a free touch up if your BOTOX treatment hasn't taken as well as you'd liked. Finally, it is important to communicate your esthetic goals to your physician. Only by this communication can your physician meet and exceed your expectations.

Most doctors have may charge a flat fee for each site of Botox treatment. Some doctors in the recent years have decided to charge their patients in number of units. Flat fees for Botox prices can usually be anywhere from $10–$30 per unit which translates into 300 per area and all the way up to $1000 in some cases. The Botox Cost to physicians is normally about $500-$600 per 100 units. The vial must be used within four hours of reconstitution, so if the entire vial is not used within this time, a physician will often have to throw the rest out. At Epione we are able to maintain the Botox costs low because of the fact that we are one of the most popular practices for Botox.
Every one would like to get a deal. BOTOX price is, however, only one of the variables you should consider when deciding on the place to get your botox. The experience qualifications of the doctor, and the reputation of the practice is in most cases more important that a few dollars one can save.
