How much do you charge for Botox?
Because of the Nevada Board of Pharmacy Rules, each vial of medication can only be used for one patient. The cost of one 50 unit vial of Botox is $750. The cost of a 100 unit vial of Botox is $1200. A 100 unit vial of Jeuveau is also $1200.
In general, a full face treatment of the forehead, glabella, and crows feet can range between 40-62 units. For underarm treatment, about 100 units would be appropriate. Jaw slimming treatment is at least 50 minutes (25 per jaw). The unit estimates are just esimates--your individual musculature will determine the exact amount of medication needed.
Where do you do your procedures?
If all you need is Botox, it can be done in the office. Surgeries are done at the Las Vegas Surgery Center.
