Botox Pricing and Treatment Areas: Your Guide to Units, Cost, and How Long It Lasts
Before booking your first Botox appointment, you’ll want to know the specifics of Botox pricing and treatment areas, and how long your injections will last.
Here’s how we price Botox at our DeBary office, area by area.
How Botox Pricing Works at Ageless U
Like most offices, we charge by the unit, so your total is the unit price times the units your muscles need. At Ageless U, Botox starts at $9 per unit, and our neurotoxins run $9 to $13.50 per unit depending on the brand.
Around Central Florida, you’ll see Botox pricing closer to $10 to $16 a unit, and a few offices quote by the area instead. So, when you compare, ask for the unit count too.

Botox Pricing and Treatment Areas for the Upper Face
The upper face is where Botox is FDA-approved and where most first-timers start. Frown lines between the brows usually take about 20 units, which is $180 at our starting price. Forehead lines typically require 10 to 20 units, depending on the strength of your muscles and how much movement you want to keep. For crow’s feet, count on 8 to 12 units on each side.
If you treat all three areas in one visit, you’re typically looking at 40 to 60 units, so plan on roughly $360 to $540 at our starting price.
Botox Treatment Areas Below the Eyes: What a Lip Flip, Chin, or Jaw Takes
Below the eyes, Botox doses get smaller or much larger. Treating a dimpled chin requires around 4 to 6 units of Botox. A lip flip uses a similar dose to relax the upper lip so a bit more of it shows.
But if you want actual volume, lip filler may be a better fit, and your provider will recommend which one suits your anatomy and goals.
On the other hand, the masseter muscle along the jaw, which you might treat for clenching or to slim the lower face, usually calls for 20 to 30 Botox units per side. So, when you compare Botox pricing and treatment areas, the jawline is where cost can climb.
When You’ll See Botox Results and How Long They Last
Within three to five days, wrinkles and fine lines start to soften. By two weeks you’ll see the full effects of your Botox treatment. Around this time, you’ll come in for a follow-up visit, and Leslie Samo, FNP, DNP, or Lisa Henderson, ARNP, FNP, will check your symmetry. If one side is still pulling, she can add a few units for a balanced look.
Typically, the effects of your Botox treatment last three to four months in the upper face. Botox injections around your jawline often hold for four to six months. That’s because the masseter muscle weakens with each round.
What Botox Won’t Treat and What to Ask About Instead
Since Botox only relaxes the muscles that crease your skin, it won’t lift skin that has loosened or fill a hollow. For those, ask about Fotona’s 4D Facelift or a biostimulator such as Sculptra at the same visit. Our post on facial rejuvenation near Deltona covers those options.
Also keep in mind that if you’ve stopped responding to Botox after years of treatment, Xeomin leaves out the accessory proteins that can cause that. It’s priced by the unit too.
Questions to Ask About Botox Pricing and Treatment Areas Before You Book
Before you pay for anything, ask three things: How many units is each area getting? Is the two-week touch-up included? And which brand is in the syringe? At Ageless U, you’ll get all three answers at your consult, so you’ll know the total before you sit down.
