We know it’s tempting. You see that “Botox $8/unit” sign and think, “Wow, I could really save if I just got my Botox there!” or “That’s the best price I’ve ever seen for Botox!” But before you decide to move forward with $8 per unit injections, let’s talk about why cheap Botox may cost you more in the long run.
We’ve been in the business of injecting Botox long enough to know that $8 per unit for Botox produced in the U.S. simply isn’t economically possible. A practice would lose money selling U.S.-produced Botox at this price.
We also know that these providers are not buying their Botox from Allergan, the official U.S. manufacturer. Our Allergan representative can see who orders directly from the company.
That means, if you’re paying $8 per unit, you’re most likely getting Botox sourced overseas. The problem is that you lose quality control — no one can guarantee what’s in the vial or how much. That’s not a gamble worth taking just to save a couple of hundred dollars.
If your injector doesn’t know exactly what’s in that vial, they may use more than necessary. Here’s a real example:
A patient came to us after receiving 50 units of Botox in her forehead for $600. Because she was overdosed, her eyebrows dropped. She was unhappy, didn’t look good, and was out $600.
When we treated her, we used only 15 units of authentic U.S.-produced Botox. She spent $180, looked amazing, and actually saved $420 compared to the “cheap” option.
This shows why the total cost of your Botox treatment matters. Cheap pricing often means more units are used than necessary, and that can cost you more than just money.
At our practice, we only inject Botox produced in the U.S. because your safety and results matter more than cutting corners. Using unverified products isn’t worth the risk to our patients or our reputation.
With safe Botox injections, you know what’s being used, how much is being injected, and that the results will be predictable.
It’s important to remember that Botox is both a product and a service. The price you pay also covers the injector’s time, expertise, and skill.
We’ve met many patients who got Botox at a “party” where the doctor spent five minutes injecting them before moving on to the next person. They often felt rushed, like they were being moved through an assembly line.
Sure, the upfront cost may have been less. But if you want a personal, customized approach, with enough time to ask questions and discuss your goals, paying for affordable Botox from an experienced professional delivers far greater value.
We pride ourselves on offering a higher level of care. We may not be the cheapest option, but we provide authentic products, experienced injectors, and safe, natural-looking results.
Cheap Botox can cost you more in the long run — financially and aesthetically. Choosing a qualified professional means better outcomes, fewer risks, and excellent value for your money.
