How much does Botox cost? What is Botox price dependent on? How much does Juvederm cost vs. Restylane? How much are lip fillers?

Non-surgical cosmetic procedures have become increasingly popular for those seeking to enhance their appearance without undergoing invasive surgery. One critical factor that often influences individuals' decisions is the cost associated with these procedures.
Aesthetic treatments are personalized and tailored to the patient and therefore understanding how much a specific cosmetic treatment costs is quite complicated. We’ve broken down the different types of non surgical cosmetic procedures, what factors influence the price, and how much you can expect to pay for your desired look.
How much do non-surgical cosmetic procedures cost?
Botox price
What is Botox?
Botox is a non-surgical procedure that focuses on the wrinkle areas. Each injectable has a primary active ingredient called Botulinum Toxin A, which blocks the nerve impulses of muscles and temporarily weakens the muscle movements (which ultimately causes wrinkles).
During the aesthetic treatment, the esthetician injects the muscles with the neurotoxins to stop muscle activity temporarily. This pause in muscle movement helps reduce or remove fine lines and wrinkles by enabling the skin to naturally renew itself.
How much is Botox?
Botox prices depend on a variety of different factors and therefore vary majorly. However, the average botox cost is between $15 to $30 per unit in a bigger city and between $10 to $15 per unit in a smaller town.
Some of the factors that affect the pricing of Botox injections include, geographic location (Botox in New York City can cost between $245 to $1000 while in Dallas, Botox injections may only cost you up to $500), how many units of Botox are needed to achieve your desired look, and the injection area (smaller areas cost less than bigger areas).
Quick calculations: If a single unit of Botox costs around $15 and an average treatment can include between 30 to 40 units, a typical treatment can run anywhere from $300-$600.
Let’s take a more detailed look at Botox prices according to treatment areas:

Dermal fillers cost
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers help restore lost volume, smooth lines and soften creases in order to enhance one's facial contours.
The gel-like substance is injected beneath the skin and can:
Adds volume to different areas of the face, such as the cheeks, lips, and under eyes
Smooths out wrinkles, especially around the mouth and nose
Enhances facial contours: Aging can cause facial tissues to thin out and, with the loss of bone mass, lines become much more apparent. Dermal fillers can help restore the facial contours by adding volume and hydration.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is already found in your skin - helps keep it plump and hydrated. During the aesthetic treatment, the stabilized non-animal hyaluronic acid (gel-like substance) is injected into various layers of the skin to restore the skin’s supply of hyaluronic acid. The injection process only takes around 30 minutes and the results are immediate.
What is the cost of dermal fillers?
Just like with Botox, the cost of a dermal filler aesthetic treatment is dependent on a variety of different factors including: the kind of dermal filler substance used, the amount of dermal filler substance injected, and the size of the desired, targeted area.
Types of dermal filler:
Juvederm: This substance has a base of of hyaluronic acid and it is the only FDA-approved filler that’s designed to last up to 12 months following the initial injection. Juvederm is most often used to treat moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles and folds.
How much does Juvederm cost?
Juvederm costs around $550 per syringe and, on average, one syringe is suitable for treating fine lines around the lips whereas bigger areas require at least 2 or more syringes.
Restylane: Restylane products contain hyaluronic acid (your body will naturally break down the material over time). This substance is readily used to treat lines, such as nasolabial folds.
How much does Restylane cost?
The average cost of Restylane is between $550 to $800 per syringe, but it is highly dependent on the specific Restylane product being administered. For example, Restylane Silk is often used on patients that want to increase their lip volume and minimize the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines around the mouth. This specific Restylane product costs between $700-$800.
Sculptra: Gel-like substance made of poly-L-lactic acid - a collagen stimulator that absorbs into your body following the treatment and encourages your cells to produce more collagen. This dermal filler doesn’t only add volume to the face but helps the body stimulate collagen production so the results are long-lasting (at least 2 years!).
How much does Sculptra cost?
The average cost of Sculptra injections is $870. However, this price can change according to your geographic location, treatment area, and result maintenance.
Kybella: This injection is designed to eliminate stubborn fat cells in the area under the chin. The active ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid, which works to break down and eliminate fat cells.
How much does Kybella cost?
The average cost of Kybella is approximately $1,000. However, in order to see desired results, a series of injections will most likely be needed. Ultimately, Kybella injection treatment can cost you around $5,000-$6,000 in total.
