The Per-Unit Price
Botox is priced per unit, and in 2026, the going rate at reputable med spas ranges from $12-18 per unit depending on location and provider expertise. At Lumière, our standard pricing is $12-15/unit, with member pricing at $10-12/unit. Beware of prices significantly below $10/unit — this may indicate diluted product, inexperienced injectors, or unauthorized sources.
How Many Units Will You Need?
The number of units depends on the treatment area, your muscle strength, and desired results. Common ranges: forehead lines (10-30 units), frown lines/glabellar (15-30 units), crow's feet (12-24 units per side), bunny lines (4-8 units), and lip flip (4-8 units). A typical first-time patient treating forehead, frown lines, and crow's feet might use 40-60 units total. Men often need more units due to stronger facial muscles.
Total Treatment Cost Examples
For a typical patient treating three areas (forehead + glabellar + crow's feet) at Lumière: Standard pricing: 50 units × $13.50 average = $675 per treatment. Member pricing: 50 units × $11 average = $550 per treatment. Over a year (3-4 treatments): Standard annual cost: $2,025-2,700. Member annual cost: $1,650-2,200 — a savings of $375-500 per year, not including other member benefits.
Factors That Affect Your Price
Several factors influence your total cost: the number of areas treated, your muscle strength and size, whether you're treating preventatively (lower doses) or correctively (higher doses), your chosen provider's expertise level, and geographic location. At Lumière, we give you a clear estimate during your consultation — you'll know exactly what your treatment will cost before we begin.
Is Botox Worth the Investment?
Botox is one of the most cost-effective aesthetic treatments available when you consider the impact-per-dollar. A $500-700 treatment that lasts 3-4 months and visibly reduces aging signs is remarkably affordable compared to surgical alternatives. Lumière members optimize their investment further through monthly credits and treatment discounts.
