All You Need To Know About Botox

Botox is priced per unit, and the cost of your anti-wrinkle treatment will depend on the number of units you need to achieve your goal. The price of anti-wrinkle in Brisbane ranges from $9 to $22 per unit. This is a huge variation in price. Unfortunately, men often need more units due to bigger & stronger facial muscles. The cost of anti-wrinkle treatment for a single area, such as frown lines, could cost anywhere from $180 to $500 (for very similar results), so choose your injector wisely. The ‘original’ brand of anti-wrinkle injection is usually more expensive than other brands.

The price of the other anti-wrinkle brands (Letybo, Dysport, Xeomin, Relfydess, Daxxify & Nuceiva) in Brisbane ranges from $3 to $20 per unit. The number of units will determine the cost of your treatment. Botox and Dysport units are different (like cm versus inches). A single Botox unit is equivalent to 2.5 Dysport units. The cost of Letybo and Dysport anti-wrinkle treatment to frown lines would range from $120 to $300 depending on who you go to and how much is needed.

Yes, this all refers to brands of neuromodulators. Due to the name recognition in popular culture, Botox is often used to refer to all brands of anti-wrinkle treatment. Other anti-wrinkle options include Letybo, Dysport, Xeomin, Relfydess, Daxxify and Nuceiva. In Australia Dysport is the most popular brand of anti-wrinkle, followed by Botox, then the others, which are newer products.

The forehead, or frontalis, usually ranges in cost from $130 to $330. This depends on how much is required and the brand used. Forehead is the most difficult area to treat. If it is treated too strongly it can cause a heavy brow. If certain parts are undertreated it can cause a raised or ‘spocked’ eyebrow. Due to the risk of brow drooping, a lot of people need to keep some movement of their forehead muscle. This means that the effects on the forehead will wear off quicker than thicker muscles like the frown.

The safest place to get botox is in the frown lines between the brows (also known as glabella or 11s). If injected with a modern 3-point injection technique, the chance of causing a droopy eyelid is extremely rare. Botox treatment to the frown also tends to last the longest out of all the areas of the upper face.

For best results, having Botox injections every 4 months gives best results. If you have stronger muscles or are going for a more natural look, injections every 3 months may be better. For those having treatment for prevention, 6 monthly injections work best.

Botox lasts from 2 to 4 months for most people. There will be some people who may only get 6 weeks from a treatment & others who will get 6 months out a treatment. Higher doses tend to produce longer lasting results but can increase the risk of side effects or unnatural expression. Treatment to thicker muscles like the frown also lasts longer than treating thinner muscles like the forehead or lip lines. Large clinical trials comparing the different brands found that all brands last a similar amount of time. The only 2 brans that are designed to last longer (4-6 months) are Relfydess and Daxxify.

Frequent treatment over a long period of time with higher doses of botox can cause some of your face muscles to shrink. This is reversible and can be prevented by finding the right dose that gives natural results. Resistance to botox is also possible with heavy doses over a long time. This is rare but can mean that anti-wrinkle treatment will no longer work for you.

No. Having your face frozen does not give any better wrinkle reduction or prevention than a natural result. It also costs more since it can use up to twice as much product as a natural result. Face-freezing doses of Botox does come with a higher risk of side effects & can cause expression to look unnatural. We encourage a natural result as it looks better & has less chance of side effects.
