| Brand | Price/Unit | Onset | Duration | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Botox (Allergan) | $10–$18 | 3-5 days | 3-4 months | Gold standard, most studied |
| Dysport | $4–$7 | 1-2 days | 3-4 months | Faster onset, spreads more |
| Xeomin | $8–$16 | 3-5 days | 3-4 months | No additives, less resistance risk |
| Daxxify | $12–$22 | 2-3 days | 6-9 months | Longest lasting, fewer visits |
Note: Dysport uses 2.5-3x more units than Botox for the same effect, so the lower per-unit price evens out. Total cost is similar across brands — choose based on onset speed and duration preference, not price.
The biggest factor is your provider — dermatologists and plastic surgeons charge $14-$18 per unit while med spa nurse injectors typically charge $10-$14. Geographic location adds another 30-50% variance (NYC and LA are the most expensive markets). The number of units you need depends on your muscle strength and treatment area — men typically need 50-100% more units than women because facial muscles are larger. First-time patients often need fewer units; over time, some people find they need slightly less as the muscles weaken from repeated treatments.
Most patients spend $1,200-$3,600 per year on Botox. Forehead only (3-4 visits): $450-$1,800/year. Full face treatment (3-4 visits): $1,500-$3,600/year. Switching to Daxxify can reduce this by 25-40% since you only need 2 visits per year. The Allé rewards program typically saves regular patients $150-$300/year in points and promotions.
