There are several common ways to charge for Botox. It is commonly charged per unit of Botox. A unit is a measure of biologic activity. Some places charge by the area. At Surgical Artistry, we chose to charge by the Unit of Botox.
However, charging by the unit is hard to comprehend how much it costs if it's your first time getting Botox. Thus, we have converted on this page our usual per-unit charge of Botox to the cost of Botox per area.
Repeated regular visits are recommended for best results. We recommend a return visit every 3 months to keep the effects of Botox active.
Please call us for the most current pricing of Botox (per unit).
Chart of Most Common Cost of Botox and Range of Botox pricing per Area
Prices gathered from June 2018, Surgical Artistry, Modesto, CA. The price may fluctuate but the # of units of Botox would most likely stay the same. The price chart is converted to the units chart below. Also note that Botox around the lips (mouth) is not the same as getting fillers (ie. Juvederm) in the lips. I have found several patients confused by the differences between Botox and Fillers. In general, we can think of Botox as relaxing muscles, and fillers act to plump up the skin or lips. The page here is dedicated to Botox usage and effects.

Finding the Average cost of Botox
$464 for 36 Units of Botox (average)
In 2018, I looked through several charts over the course of one month and found that 36 units is the average number of units obtained by each Botox patient. Although, I think most patients probably would benefit the most from 56 units of Botox which would cost $721.28 - if I were able to do my "dream" botox injections for the patients.
