In short
Botox Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) is a prescription botulinum toxin type A made by Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company. It is FDA approved to temporarily improve moderate to severe frown lines, crow's feet, forehead lines and platysma bands (vertical neck cords) in adults. It relaxes the muscle that creases the skin, so lines soften without adding volume. The label dose is 20 units for frown lines, 24 for crow's feet and 40 for the forehead with frown lines. The effect starts one to two days after injection and lasts about three to four months. At Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center Botox is $13 to $14 a unit in California, Arizona and Texas, and sold by the full 50-unit vial in Nevada.
Botox Cosmetic is onabotulinumtoxinA, the botulinum toxin type A that Allergan Aesthetics sells for wrinkles. It blocks the release of acetylcholine, the signal from nerve to muscle, so the injected muscle relaxes and the skin over it stops creasing. It does not fill anything and does not change the skin itself, which is why it suits lines that appear when you frown, squint or raise your brows, more than lines that are there at rest because of lost volume.
Its US label covers four cosmetic areas in adults: moderate to severe frown lines between the brows (first approved in 2002), crow's feet, forehead lines and, since October 2024, platysma bands, the vertical cords that run from the jaw down the neck. Injectors also use Botox for the jaw, a lip flip, smokers lines, a brow lift and other areas. Those are off-label uses: common and legal in medical practice, but not covered by a label dose, and your provider should tell you when a plan includes one.
Botox units are specific to Botox. The label states that its units cannot be compared to or converted into units of any other botulinum toxin, so a Botox dose and a Dysport dose for the same area are different numbers.
Units and cost
These are the doses in the FDA prescribing information, with the cost at our $13 to $14 per-unit clinics. Your injector starts from these and adjusts for your muscles.
| Area | Label dose (Botox units) | Cost at $13 to $14 a unit |
|---|---|---|
| Frown lines (11s) | 20 (4 units at each of 5 points) | $260 to $280 |
| Crow's feet, both sides | 24 (12 per side, 3 points each) | $312 to $336 |
| Forehead lines, with frown lines | 40 (20 forehead plus 20 frown) | $520 to $560 |
| Frown lines plus crow's feet | 44 | $572 to $616 |
| Upper face: frown, forehead and crow's feet | 64 | $832 to $896 |
| Platysma bands (neck) | 26, 31 or 36 depending on the number of bands | $338 to $504 |
Label doses, not quotes. Stronger muscles, and men in particular, may need more; some people choose a lighter dose for softer movement. Forehead lines are treated together with frown lines to lower the chance of a heavy or drooping brow. Off-label areas such as the jaw, lip flip and smokers lines are dosed at consultation. Treatment is not repeated more often than every three months. In Nevada Botox is sold by the 50-unit vial, so see the clinic table for Downtown Summerlin and Henderson.

Price by clinic
Every price below comes from the clinic's current price list. Tap a clinic for its Botox page, hours and booking.
| Clinic | How it is sold | Price |
|---|---|---|
| West Hollywood, near Beverly Hills | Per unit, or a vial offer: buy 100 units, get 40 free | $14 per unit, vial offer $1,400 |
| West Los Angeles | Per unit | $14 per unit |
| Valencia, Santa Clarita | Per unit | $13 per unit |
| Westlake Village, Thousand Oaks | Per unit | $13 per unit |
| Downtown Summerlin, Las Vegas | Full 50-unit vial | $600 per vial |
| Henderson | Full vial, planned at consultation | Priced at consultation |
| Paradise Valley, Scottsdale | Per unit | $14 per unit |
| Houston CityCentre | Per unit | $13.25 per unit |
| Houston River Oaks | Per unit | $13.25 per unit |
Why Nevada is different: in Nevada neurotoxin is dispensed as a full vial, never by the unit, so Downtown Summerlin sells Botox as a 50-unit vial and Henderson plans it at consultation. A 50-unit vial covers up to 50 units in that visit; the full upper face at label dose is 64 units, which takes more than one vial. New clients save 15% on a first treatment at West LA, West Hollywood, Valencia, Westlake Village, Downtown Summerlin and Paradise Valley (not on the West Hollywood vial offer). Botox earns Allē points at every clinic. Financing is available through Cherry, CareCredit and others on our financing page.

Bruising
The most searched Botox question on our site. A small bruise comes from the needle, not the medicine.
Each injection passes through skin full of tiny blood vessels, and now and then the needle nicks one. The Botox label lists bleeding and bruising among reactions that can come from the injection itself, and a meta-analysis of 32 placebo-controlled trials found injection-site bruising at similar rates with Botox and with a saline injection. The forehead, frown lines and crow's feet bruise most often because they take several injection points and the skin around the eyes is thin.
Neither the label nor Allergan gives a number of days, and anyone quoting an exact one is guessing. A pinpoint injection bruise moves through the usual colours, red to blue to green-yellow, and fades, and a small one clears much faster than a large one. In one 2026 study of crow's feet treatment, no bruising remained at the 10-day check. If a bruise is still clearly visible after about a week, or is getting larger, ask your clinic to look at it.
Tell your injector about every medicine and supplement you take; the Botox medication guide asks specifically about aspirin-like products and blood thinners. A consensus paper suggests stopping nonessential products that affect clotting, such as fish oil and vitamin E, about a week before, and using ice. Never stop a prescribed blood thinner without your doctor. Book at least two weeks before an event.
Call your clinic for a bruise that grows, a firm or painful lump, fever or spreading redness. Get medical help straight away for trouble swallowing, speaking or breathing, or double vision, which are signs of toxin spread and not bruising. Read more in our guide to Botox bruising.
Safety
In the trials the most common reactions were eyelid drooping (3%) after frown-line treatment, eyelid swelling (1%) after crow's feet, and headache (9%) and brow drooping (2%) after forehead treatment. Pain, swelling, redness and bruising at injection points can also occur. Most effects appear in the first week and are temporary.
Like every botulinum toxin, Botox carries an FDA boxed warning that its effect may spread from the injection area and cause symptoms such as swallowing, speaking or breathing difficulty, hours to weeks after treatment. Allergan states there has been no confirmed serious case of spread at the recommended cosmetic doses, but seek care straight away if you notice those symptoms.
Botox is contraindicated with an allergy to any botulinum toxin or ingredient (it contains human albumin), or an infection at the injection site. Tell your provider about neuromuscular conditions such as myasthenia gravis, heart conditions, blood thinners and any toxin you have had in the last four months.
It is not known whether Botox can harm an unborn baby or passes into breast milk. Cosmetic treatment is usually postponed until you are done.

How it works
Three steps, none of them filling anything.
Your injector places small doses of Botox into the specific muscles that crease the skin, mapped to how your face moves.
Botox blocks the release of acetylcholine at the nerve ending, so the muscle receives a weaker signal to contract.
The muscle relaxes, the skin over it stops folding, and the line softens. As nerve endings recover over the following months, movement returns gradually.
Which product
Same mechanism, different units and formulations. Units are not interchangeable between brands.
Starts working: 1 to 2 days. Lasts: 3 to 4 months (label). onabotulinumtoxinA by Allergan Aesthetics. FDA approved for frown lines, crow's feet, forehead lines and neck bands. $13 to $14 a unit, or a 50-unit vial in Nevada.
Starts working: Median 2 to 3 days. Lasts: Up to 4 months (label). abobotulinumtoxinA by Galderma, approved for frown lines. Lower price per unit but more units per area, so totals land in a similar place.
Starts working: Varies. Lasts: Varies. incobotulinumtoxinA by Merz, with no accessory proteins. Offered at selected clinics.
Starts working: Varies. Lasts: Varies. daxibotulinumtoxinA by Revance, formulated with a peptide. Ask your clinic whether it is offered.
Good to know
The four FDA-approved areas first, then the off-label uses people ask us about most.
On-label. 20 units across five points in the brow muscles. This was Botox Cosmetic's first approval, in 2002.
On-label. 20 units in the forehead, given together with 20 units for the frown lines, for 40 in total. Treating the forehead alone can leave the brows feeling heavy.
On-label. 24 units, 12 per side across three points, for the lines that show when you smile.
On-label since October 2024. 26 to 36 units along the jawline and the vertical cords of the neck, depending on how many bands you have. Allergan reports full results at about 14 days.
Off-label uses some injectors offer. Doses vary widely by person, so they are planned and priced at consultation rather than listed here.
Aftercare
Allergan puts treatment at 10 to 15 minutes, and you can go straight back to your day.
Your provider reviews your health history, medicines and allergies, watches how your face moves, marks the points and injects with a very fine needle. Most people describe a pinch.
Do not rub or massage the treated areas, which can move the toxin to nearby muscles. Follow your injector's instructions on lying down and exercise for the rest of the day.
A small bruise at an injection point is the most common thing people notice. Ice helps, and telling your injector about blood thinners and supplements beforehand lowers the chance.
Results build over the first weeks. Allergan puts full results for the upper face at 30 days; your clinic will tell you when to come back if one area needs review.
Aftercare
Your result lasts longer when what you use at home is doing the same work. This is the routine our providers start most patients on, dispensed through the practice. Not sure it is right for your skin? Take the skin quiz, or ask your provider to build one around the treatment you are having.

Is it for you
Botox treats lines caused by movement. It is not a filler and does not replace lost volume.
These are things to discuss, not automatic disqualifications, except an allergy to a botulinum toxin product or an infection at the injection site.
Your timeline
Botox does not switch on the moment you leave.
Results
Individual results vary. Your provider will talk through what is realistic for you.
What patients say
“This was my first Botox experience, and it was great! The staff was super friendly, and very helpful answering all my questions– and I asked a lot. I’m SO pleased with my results, and will definitely be returning!”
“By far, the best and most professional service from the person who greeted me when I walked in, to the person who did my botox. They’re very experienced and perfect technique. No bruising and they take their time so you understand exactly what they’re doing and the price. No surprises.”
Frequently asked
At BHRC Botox is priced per unit: $13 in Valencia and Westlake Village, $13.25 in Houston and $14 in West LA, West Hollywood and Paradise Valley. Frown lines at the 20-unit label dose come to $260 to $280, and the full upper face at 64 units to $832 to $896. Downtown Summerlin sells Botox as a 50-unit vial for $600. For comparison, Allergan puts the average cost of treating the forehead, frown lines and crow's feet at $400 to $600, and ASPS reports an average neuromodulator fee of $435.
$13 to $14 a unit at our California, Arizona and Texas clinics; see the price by clinic table. Our Nevada clinics do not sell Botox by the unit.
In Nevada neurotoxin is dispensed as a full vial rather than by the unit. Downtown Summerlin sells Botox as a 50-unit vial for $600, used in that visit, and Henderson plans it at consultation. A single vial covers up to 50 units, which is more than the label dose for frown lines, crow's feet or the forehead with frown lines.
The FDA label doses are 20 units for frown lines, 24 for crow's feet, 40 for the forehead with frown lines, 64 for all three, and 26 to 36 for neck bands. Your injector starts there and adjusts for muscle strength and the result you want.
The label dose is 20 units in the forehead, given together with 20 units for the frown lines, so 40 in total. The two are treated together so the brows do not drop.
20 units, given as 4 units at each of five points between and above the brows.
No. 20 units is the label dose for frown lines alone and 24 is the label dose for both crow's feet. The full upper face at label dose is 64 units.
Into the muscle that causes the line: five points between and above the brows for frown lines, five points across the forehead, three points beside each eye for crow's feet, and along the jawline and each neck band for platysma bands. See our units and injection sites guide.
There is no fixed number of days in the label or from Allergan. A small injection bruise fades through the usual colour changes, and a pinpoint one clears much faster than a larger one. If a bruise is still clearly visible after about a week, or is getting bigger, ask your clinic to check it.
Yes. The label lists bleeding and bruising among reactions to the injection itself, and the forehead and the skin around the eyes bruise most easily. A bruise does not stop the Botox from working.
The effect starts one to two days after injection and builds through the first week; Allergan puts full results at 30 days for the upper face. The label puts the duration for frown lines at about three to four months, and treatments should be at least 90 days apart.
No. Botox Cosmetic is approved for frown lines, crow's feet, forehead lines and platysma bands. Smokers lines, jaw slimming, a lip flip and a brow lift are off-label uses that some injectors offer; your provider should explain this and set the dose at consultation.
Both are botulinum toxin type A and work the same way. Botox has four FDA-approved cosmetic areas and is $13 to $14 a unit; Dysport costs less per unit but takes more units per area, so totals are often similar. See our Dysport page for the full comparison.
The most common in trials were eyelid drooping after frown-line treatment, eyelid swelling after crow's feet, and headache and brow drooping after forehead treatment, each in a small percentage of people, plus pain, swelling or bruising at injection points. Botox carries a boxed warning about the effect spreading beyond the injection area; get help straight away for swallowing, speaking or breathing problems.
Yes. BHRC accepts Allē, Allergan Aesthetics' loyalty program. Allergan's page says members earn 200 points for each BOTOX Cosmetic treatment and can redeem points for savings on qualifying brands; terms are set by Allergan. Check in with your Allē account at your visit.
