- How many units of Botox do I need for my forehead or frown lines?
- Most clinics quote 10–30 units for the forehead and about 20 units for the glabella (frown lines), but the number depends on muscle strength and the look you want. Ask the injector for a unit estimate before treatment so a per-unit price becomes a real total.
- How do Dysport units compare to Botox units?
- Dysport is dosed differently: clinics commonly use about 2.5–3 Dysport units where they would use 1 Botox unit. On this page every Dysport price is multiplied by 2.5 to show a Botox-equivalent $/unit, and the original price is shown alongside it. Xeomin, Jeuveau and Letybo are dosed unit-for-unit with Botox, so they are compared as-is. Daxxify is not converted — clinics dose it inconsistently, so we show its price in its own units and keep it out of the cross-brand ranking.
- The clinic's own site shows a lower price than you do. Why?
- Almost always because that lower number needs money up front. A package of six, a prepaid unit bank, a minimum purchase or a membership rate can all beat the walk-in price — but you only get them after you commit. We rank the price you can walk in and pay for one visit, so those rates sit in our data with their condition rather than at the top of the list. The same goes for “starting at” and range prices: if a clinic publishes $50–$450, the bottom of that range isn't what you'd be charged, so we don't put it on a card. Ask the clinic about packages and specials when you call — they are often worth it if you were going to come back anyway.
- Is a cheaper per-unit price a red flag?
- Not by itself — high-volume nurse-led med spas often list lower per-unit prices. What matters more is whether the product is genuine (ask to see the vial), whether it is diluted according to the label, and who is legally responsible for your care. If a price looks far below every other listing, ask those questions.
- What do MD, NP, PA and RN mean for injections in Arizona?
- They describe legal scope of practice, not skill. In Arizona a nurse practitioner (NP) can practice independently; a physician assistant (PA) works under physician supervision; a registered nurse (RN) injects under delegation and a written order from an MD, DO or NP, and needs a good-faith exam on file. We show the credential recorded by the state board on the date noted and never rank injectors by quality.
- Do Allē or ASPIRE rewards stack with clinic specials?
- Usually yes for the manufacturer's own points, but each clinic sets its own rules for combining points with new-patient or member prices. Prices on this page are the listed price before any loyalty points.
