written 5\/24\/13,\u00a0at this time we charge $11.70 per unit of Botox<\/p>\n

Why a strange number like that?<\/strong> \u00a0Because it’s 10% off our original price of $13 per unit.<\/p>\n

Average Cost of Botox – all patients – doesn’t matter what area:<\/h3>\n

But of interest, I had calculated a few months ago the average Botox patient’s check out amount. \u00a0The price came out to $339.00. \u00a0But the range is huge. \u00a0The number came out of sampling of 46 patient charts.<\/p>\n

Most Common Cost of Botox, all patients = $304<\/h3>\n

But most patients aren’t actually paying that figure, the most common charge that is seen is $304 for 26 units of Botox. \u00a0The average, as you know, may not be the same number as one that is the most common.<\/p>\n

I was about to go to the operating room today and I heard this question asked at our front desk. \u00a0I’m thinking that this is a pretty common question and thought I’d just post my own answer here. \u00a0I know my staff did a great job of explaining the ranges and reasons for certain charges related to the question of “How much does Botox cost?” \u00a0I did hear a little bit of the conversation which involved discussions of how many units I might use in each area. \u00a0I think that’s fine too, but perhaps I’m starting to think that patients don’t entirely care about the units, the primarily care more about the costs. \u00a0But of course from our standpoint, as providers of Botox, we think of it in units. \u00a0But I am thinking that the consumers of Botox will usually think of it in dollar amounts. \u00a0But our office wants to make it clear that we customize the Botox injections to fit a patient’s goals, muscle size, weight, and prior experience with Botox.<\/p>\n
