You’re bound to have endless questions about Botox if you’ve
been thinking about getting it. Just know that you’re not the only curious
inquirer about the treatment. Below are some of the most commonly asked
questions people and patients tend to ask us.
What are some common areas to get Botox?
If there’s anywhere on the face that has wrinkles or lines that you don’t want, it can be treated with Botox injections. Botox is most commonly injected in these areas: forehead, between the eyebrows, the corners of the eyes and corners of the lips.
How much does Botox cost?
The cost of Botox injections varies from clinic to clinic and
who’s injecting it. The prices that nurses and doctors charge vary—at SpaMedica,
registered nurses charge $12 per unit. The doctor’s rate starts at $18 per unit
for the first 60 units. After that, the price drops significantly.

Can Botox be used to treat other concerns aside from wrinkles?
Botox is well-known for treating lines and wrinkles, but it
also has other uses. Botox injections also treat issues like migraines,
excessive sweating and overactive bladders. Botox was approved by the FDA in
2010 as a treatment option for chronic migraines. When injected in specific
points like the temples, forehead and nose bridge, Botox can provide relief for
migraine sufferers.
If you tend to sweat a lot, Botox injections temporarily
stop the sweat from happening. Injections can be made to the armpits, hands,
feet and forehead. You’ll be sweat-free for up to 6 months.
How old do you have to be to get Botox?
The demographics of patients who are visiting clinics for
Botox are changing. Patients who want Botox are getting younger—they’re generally
in their 20s and early 30s. In 2013, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic
Surgery reported that people between ages 20-29 accounted for 556,558
non-invasive procedures in 2013. Botox was the second most performed treatment
after laser hair removal. Part of the reason is that young adults are taking preventative
measures. Instead of getting treatments done when wrinkles appear, patients
are now preventing them from happening in the first place with Botox.
Does Botox have any side effects? Is it dangerous?
Botox injections are safe when performed by an experienced
nurse or doctor. Some common side effects like swelling or bruising can occur.
You might experience symptoms similar to when you have a headache or flu.
Another important point to consider is where you’re getting
these treatments done. Low prices for Botox injections may look tempting, but you
have to think about how much experience your provider has and if they know how
to deal with problems or concerns should they arise. Avoid any “fake” or black
market Botox products—you want to use only FDA-approved Botox. Not only is the
quality of these black market products unknown and unregulated, you’re also putting yourself at
risk for complications.
