Preventative Botox is not a different product or a different price list; it is a smaller number of units, given earlier. So the cost question is really two questions: what does this clinic charge per unit, and how many units does it expect to use. The published per unit figures in this record run from $8.99 to $15, and the unit count is where the real variation lives.
What clinics publish per unit
Chicago Aesthetic Surgery publishes Botox at $15 per unit. Chic Med Spa in Allen, Texas publishes $13.95 per unit. La Jolla Cosmetic publishes a fee range of $13.05 to $15.59. Skinography publishes Botox or Dysport at $10.50 per unit above thirty units. LeVogue Med Spa publishes that Botox costs $8.99 to $13 per unit at that clinic. The median of the published opening figures across this record is $13.05. Bluepoint in Las Vegas is the useful exception. It prices Botox by the vial, at $699 for a 50 unit vial and $1,200 for a 100 unit vial, and publishes a per unit figure only for Dysport at $4.50. Dysport units are not Botox units, so this record does not treat that figure as a Botox per unit price and does not divide the vial out either. It records the clinic as publishing no per unit figure, which is the honest reading.
The unit count, and why preventative dosing is cheaper
Preventative treatment means fewer units placed earlier, so at the same per unit price it costs less than a full treatment. LeVogue publishes the arithmetic on its own page: at its rates, 20 units cost $179.80 to $260 and 40 units cost $359.60 to $520. That is one clinic showing exactly how a unit price becomes a bill. It also shows why the per unit figure is the smaller half of the decision. A clinic at $10.50 a unit that uses 40 units charges $420. A clinic at $15 a unit that uses 20 units charges $300. The cheaper menu is the more expensive visit, and no price list anywhere tells you which you are walking into.
The annual figure
Neurotoxin wears off and the treatment repeats, so the number worth comparing is what a year costs rather than what a visit costs. Ask the clinic how often it expects to see you and multiply. Three visits a year at $300 is $900, and at $420 it is $1,260. For context on the visit figure, LeVogue's page cites a 2026 CareCredit cost study putting the national average at $445 per Botox Cosmetic treatment with a range of $325 to $710. That is a treatment average rather than a per unit price, and it sits above the arithmetic above because it includes larger treatments than a preventative dose.
How to price a neurotoxin treatment
Get the per unit price, not the per vial price. A vial price divided by a nominal unit count is arithmetic, not a quote. Ask what a unit costs at that clinic. Ask how many units the clinic expects. This is the whole ballgame. A cheaper unit at a clinic that uses more units is not cheaper. Ask which product the price covers. Botox, Dysport, Xeomin and Daxxify are different products and their units are not interchangeable. Ask what a top-up costs and when it is due. Neurotoxin treatments repeat, so the annual cost is what matters and the menu only prices one visit.
Questions people ask about preventative botox cost
How much is preventative Botox?
It is the clinic's per unit price multiplied by a smaller number of units. LeVogue publishes that 20 units cost $179.80 to $260 at its rates. Published per unit figures in this record run from $8.99 to $15.59.
What does a wrinkle relaxer cost per unit?
Chicago Aesthetic Surgery publishes $15, Chic Med Spa $13.95, La Jolla Cosmetic $13.05 to $15.59, Skinography $10.50 above thirty units, and LeVogue $8.99 to $13. The median opening figure is $13.05.
Why does one clinic in the record have no per unit price?
Bluepoint in Las Vegas prices Botox by the vial, at $699 for 50 units and $1,200 for 100. Dividing a vial by a nominal unit count would be our arithmetic rather than the clinic's price, so it is recorded as publishing no per unit figure.
Is a lower per unit price always cheaper?
No. The unit count matters more. A clinic at $10.50 using 40 units charges more than a clinic at $15 using 20. Ask for the expected unit count with the price.
