Things you need to know about Botox
Neurotoxins like Botox are priced by units, so the overall cost depends on the amount of product used. Typical Botox cosmetic treatments range from $500 to $1,000 for 30-50 units, depending on the provider.
“Botox has now become a home term and a verb that describes the injection procedure to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles,” says Elaine Kang, Maryland, a board-certified New York dermatologist. “However, many aesthetic providers use different brands of neurotoxin in their non-Botox offices.”
Location, location
According to New York dermatologist Julie Lassack, Maryland, Neurotoxin is primarily used to treat wrinkles on top. “The main areas people focus on are the forehead, the gravella (the “11 lines” between the brows) and the crow’s feet,” she says. “These treatments help soften the expression line and create a restful, friendly look.”
“Some areas that use less common but incredibly transformative neurotoxins include the jaw. “We focus on the subtle lifting of the nose and the nose to soften the bunny line as well as the jaw line for contours, creating balance and symmetry in the perioral area (around the mouth) to lift the corners covered in the landscape and soften the smoker’s line.”
Jolein’s Botox is also a way to relieve chronic pain in the area.
“We found Botox to be extremely helpful in managing jaw pain,” says Dr. Kang. “As a person who grinds and grinds my teeth, I often experience discomfort and even headaches. Botox injections in obese muscles significantly reduced the habit of grinding teeth and provided significant relief from jaw pain.”
Protect your investment
Botox cosmetics produce results a few days after treatment, usually lasting about 3-4 months, but have habits that can shorten their lifespan.
“The number one Botox and filler culprit has not been sustained as long as it’s smoking and excessive exposure to sunlight,” says New York dermatologist Marina Peredo, Maryland. “There’s an enzyme called collagenase and Botox doesn’t last too long, so patients who smoke or are always in the sun tend to break down collagen faster,” she explains.
