How much Botox do I need?
We are frequently asked at our Modesto Botox practice: “How much Botox do I need.” In fact, we get this question over the phone which makes it nearly impossible to answer. But one way I thought of to answer this would be to look back in our records and see what the last 40 patients (anonymously) used and perhaps an average number of Botox Units used in these 40 patients would help someone reach an answer to this question over the phone. The best way to get this answer is to schedule an appointment with me, the surgeon-Botox injector.
Botox Data
Special thanks to Jessica of the Surgical Artistry team who keeps track of this info. This is practically a chart review. This data shows a higher number than the last time we did this exercise back in 2012 where I came up with the answer that 29 units was the average number of Botox units a person used in my practice in 2012. Now it’s 36. Economy changes perhaps? I think my most commonly recommended Botox number of units is 40-50 units of Botox for cosmetic Botox.
The answer to the AVERAGE number of units used per patient 2015: 36 Units.
36 units
How is this info valuable?
- Other Botox injectors can compare their data with ours.
- Economists can try to use Botox to predict trends in the economy. Apparently plastic surgeons can predict the economy based on their patient load, etc.
- And most importantly, patients can use this information to figure out what the average Botox cost might be. Just multiply 36 by the cost per unit. If it’s $12/unit then the cost of Botox for 36 units would be: $432.
Average cost of Botox would be $432 if the cost of Botox is $12/unit
But it’s good to keep in mind that many new patients consider 40-50 units very often.
