Botox and other neurotoxin treatments, such as Dysport, Xeomin, and Daxxify, are some of the most effective ways to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, prevent new ones from forming, and achieve a refreshed, youthful appearance. However, when it comes to pricing, not all medspas follow the same model. At Tribeca MedSpa, we believe in transparency and fairness, which is why we charge per unit rather than by area. In this blog, we’ll explain what that means, why it matters, and how our pricing structure ensures that you get the best results for your investment.
How Do Most Medspas Charge for Botox?
Many medspas and aesthetic clinics charge for Botox and other neurotoxins based on treatment areas rather than the actual amount of product used. This means you might see pricing listed as a fixed cost per area, such as:
- Forehead: $300
- Glabella (frown lines between the brows): $250
- Crow’s feet: $250
While this may seem straightforward, the issue with this approach is that not every person needs the same amount of Botox in a given area. A patient looking for a subtle, natural-looking result (sometimes called “Baby Botox”) may require fewer units than someone seeking a full-face correction. Despite these differences in dosage, both patients are charged the same price when an “area-based” pricing model is used.
What Is a Unit of Botox?
A unit of Botox is a standardized measurement that indicates the strength of the treatment being administered. Each unit contains a precise amount of the active ingredient, botulinum toxin, which temporarily relaxes targeted muscles to smooth wrinkles.
Neurotoxin treatments work by injecting a specific number of units into the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles (such as those formed by repeated facial expressions). The number of units required depends on factors like muscle strength, individual anatomy, and desired results. For example, typical dosage ranges include:
- Forehead lines: 10-20 units
- Glabella (frown lines): 15-25 units
- Crow’s feet: 6-12 units per side
Since every patient has unique needs, charging per unit ensures that you only pay for the exact amount of product used: nothing more, nothing less.
Why Does Tribeca MedSpa Charge Per Unit?
At Tribeca MedSpa, we believe that charging per unit is the most transparent and cost-effective pricing model for neurotoxin treatments. Here’s why:
1. You Only Pay for What You Use
With per-unit pricing, you’re not paying a fixed price for an area, you’re paying based on the precise number of units needed to achieve your aesthetic goals. This means that if you require fewer units for a subtle result, you won’t be overpaying. Conversely, if you need a higher dose for optimal results, you won’t be limited by an arbitrary “per area” price cap.
2. Fair Pricing for Different Treatment Needs
Not every patient needs the same amount of Botox. Someone in their 20s or 30s who wants to prevent fine lines with Baby Botox will likely need fewer units than someone in their 40s or 50s treating deeper wrinkles. By charging per unit, we ensure that everyone pays a fair price based on their actual treatment needs.
3. Full Transparency in Treatment
Our pricing model also gives you a better understanding of your dose and the treatment you’re receiving. Knowing how many units are being used allows you to track your results over time and make more informed decisions about future treatments. This level of transparency is key to building trust and ensuring you get the best value for your investment.
4. Customization for the Best Results
Per-unit pricing allows for a more customized approach to your treatment plan. Our expert injectors can tailor the dosage to your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals, whether that means a subtle refresh or a more dramatic rejuvenation.
Botox Banking: Save More on Your Treatments
To make Botox treatments even more cost-effective, we offer our Botox Banking program. This allows you to purchase your Botox units in advance at a lower cost per unit. When you bank your Botox, you can use as many units as you need during each appointment and save the remaining units for your next treatment. This ensures you’re getting the best possible price while maintaining flexibility in how and when you use your Botox. It’s a great way to plan ahead for your treatments while enjoying significant savings.
The Importance of Choosing Qualified Injectors
Regardless of pricing, the most critical factor in achieving safe and effective Botox results is choosing a skilled and experienced injector. At Tribeca MedSpa, our Botox and neurotoxin treatments are performed exclusively by highly trained medical professionals, including:
- Doctors – Dr. Georgina Ferzli
- Physician Assistants (PAs) – Laura Altman, PA-C, Caitlin Sacher, PA-C
- Nurse Practitioners (NPs) – Asha Suresh, FNP-BC, Jafrin Alamgir, FNP
These licensed professionals have undergone extensive training in facial anatomy, injection techniques, and advanced aesthetic medicine. Unlike some medspas that allow unqualified providers to perform injections under the supervision of a physician, our injectors have the credentials and experience to perform these treatments independently, ensuring the highest level of safety and precision.
Why Experience Matters
Choosing a qualified injector is crucial for several reasons:
- Safety: Proper injection technique minimizes the risk of complications such as drooping eyelids, uneven results, or unwanted muscle relaxation.
- Natural Results: Experienced injectors understand the nuances of facial anatomy and know how to achieve subtle, natural-looking outcomes rather than an overdone or frozen appearance.
- Long-Lasting Results: Proper placement and dosage ensure that your results last as long as possible, maximizing the value of your treatment.
