Key Takeaways
If you’ve started pricing Botox in Texas and come back more confused than when you started, you’re not alone. One clinic quotes $99 per area. Another charges $18 per unit. A third bundles three areas for a flat rate. All of it sounds different, and none of it makes comparison easy.
This guide cuts through that. We cover exactly how Botox is priced in 2026, what the typical cost is by treatment area across Texas, why nurse-led pricing is generally lower than physician-led boutique practices, and what InjectCo’s $12 per unit rate means for your actual bill. By the end, you’ll know what fair pricing looks like and what questions to ask before you book.
At InjectCo, we treat thousands of patients annually across our 9 Texas locations. We see the same pricing confusion come up in every consultation. Consider this the guide we wish every patient had read before walking in.
Botox in Texas costs between $10 and $18 per unit in 2026, with most standard treatment sessions ranging from $300 to $700 depending on the treatment area and the number of units used. A typical three-area session covering the forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet uses 40 to 60 units, which puts the total between $400 and $900 at most Texas med spas.
At InjectCo, the rate is $12 per unit with no membership required. A 50-unit session works out to $600. That sits comfortably below the Dallas metro average of $14 to $16 per unit, which makes it one of the more competitive rates in the state for nurse-led treatment at a dedicated aesthetics clinic.
Texas pricing overall runs slightly below the national average of $466 per session, according to 2026 market data. Major metro areas like Dallas, Fort Worth, and Plano tend toward the mid-to-upper range. Suburban and smaller city locations generally offer more competitive per-unit rates.
Most reputable Texas med spas price Botox by the unit. This is the most transparent model because your cost is directly tied to how much product you receive. If a forehead treatment requires 20 units at $12 each, you pay $240. Clear, predictable, and easy to compare.
Per-area pricing bundles treatment cost into a flat fee regardless of how many units you receive. At first glance it looks simpler. In practice, it often means a provider injects fewer units than your muscle actually needs, which produces underwhelming results that fade faster. When the results don’t last as long, patients assume Botox doesn’t work for them. Usually the dose was just too conservative.
“When a patient comes in saying Botox only lasted six weeks for them, the first question I ask is how many units they received,” says Jen Adams, RN, nurse injector at InjectCo. “More often than not, they don’t know. That’s the problem with per-area pricing. It keeps you in the dark about what you’re actually getting.”
Before booking anywhere, ask directly: how many units are included in this treatment? If the provider can’t give you a clear answer, that’s a signal.
Unit count varies based on muscle size, strength, and the result you’re after. The estimates below reflect average dosing at InjectCo. First-time patients often start at the lower end of each range and adjust from there.
| Treatment Area | Typical Units | Est. Cost at $12/unit | Notes |
| Forehead lines | 10 to 30 units | $120 to $360 | Dose affects lift vs freeze balance |
| Frown lines (11s) | 15 to 25 units | $180 to $300 | Most patients start at 20 units |
| Crow’s feet (both) | 20 to 30 units | $240 to $360 | 10 to 15 units per side |
| Full upper face | 40 to 60 units | $480 to $720 | Most common session type |
| Brow lift | 4 to 8 units | $48 to $96 | Precise placement required |
| Lip flip | 4 to 6 units | $48 to $72 | Different from lip filler |
| Masseter (jaw slimming) | 40 to 60 units | $480 to $720 | Larger muscle = more units |
| Neck bands (Nefertiti) | 25 to 50 units | $300 to $600 | Advanced technique |
| Hyperhidrosis (underarms) | 50 to 100 units | $600 to $1,200 | Insurance may apply |
Men typically require more units than women due to stronger facial muscles, particularly in the forehead and masseter areas. Your InjectCo nurse will assess your muscle movement before recommending a unit count rather than defaulting to a fixed dose.
If you’re budgeting for your first treatment, a conservative three-area session is the most common starting point. Most patients at InjectCo fall in the $480 to $720 range for a standard upper-face session.
Masseter Botox for jaw slimming or TMJ relief typically uses 40 to 60 units per session, which works out to $480 to $720 at InjectCo’s $12 per unit rate. Some patients with larger or more active masseter muscles need up to 80 units, which would put the session at $960.
Full results take two to four weeks to appear as the masseter gradually reduces in size. Most patients see noticeable jaw slimming by the six-week mark. The effect typically lasts four to six months before a top-up is needed.
Botox is the most widely recognized neurotoxin brand, but it’s not the only option. Dysport and Xeomin are FDA-approved alternatives that work through the same mechanism and produce comparable results. The main practical differences are unit conversion and onset speed.
| Product | Unit Ratio vs Botox | Typical Onset | Duration | General Price Note |
| Botox | 1:1 baseline | 3 to 5 days | 3 to 4 months | Industry benchmark pricing |
| Dysport | ~2.5:1 (more units needed) | 2 to 3 days | 3 to 4 months | Lower per-unit cost, more units used |
| Xeomin | 1:1 comparable | 3 to 5 days | 3 to 4 months | Comparable per-unit cost to Botox |
Dysport is often advertised at a lower per-unit price, but because it requires roughly 2.5 units to equal one unit of Botox, the session cost usually ends up comparable. The faster onset makes it popular with patients who want results before a specific event.
InjectCo currently offers Botox. If you have a strong preference for Dysport or Xeomin, mention it at your consultation and your nurse will walk you through what’s available and what would work best for your treatment goals.
Most patients assume the biggest cost variable is the clinic itself. Location matters, but several other factors play a larger role in what you’ll actually pay.
Physician-led boutique practices in Texas typically charge $16 to $25 per unit because of overhead, specialty positioning, and physician fee structures. Nurse-led med spas like InjectCo operate more efficiently and can offer the same FDA-approved product at lower per-unit rates, typically $10 to $14 per unit across the state.
The product being injected is identical. What changes is who administers it and what their operating costs look like. Kiara DeWitt, BSN, RN, CPN and founder of InjectCo trained as a nurse at Texas Christian University before leading clinical education in the neurosurgery unit at Cook Children’s Hospital. Nurse injectors at InjectCo hold the same RN credentials and undergo ongoing advanced training.
Dallas and Plano clinics generally charge at the higher end of the Texas range, typically $13 to $16 per unit. Fort Worth and mid-market areas like Colleyville, Argyle, and Waxahachie tend toward $11 to $14. Smaller markets like Cleburne see rates closer to $10 to $12 per unit, which brings total session costs down meaningfully.
InjectCo standardizes pricing across all 9 locations at $12 per unit, which means patients in Fort Worth, Plano, or the Woodlands pay the same per-unit rate.
Most Texas med spas, including InjectCo, offer Botox specials periodically. Checking our current Botox specials before booking is worth a few seconds of your time. Loyalty programs and referral credits can also reduce effective per-unit cost over time.

Every InjectCo treatment starts with a free consultation, whether in-clinic or virtual. Your nurse reviews your treatment goals, assesses your muscle movement, and recommends a unit count based on your actual anatomy rather than a default dose.
A patient we saw recently at our Fort Worth Botox clinic had been told by a previous provider that she needed 40 units for her forehead. What Jen found was that her muscle movement was mild and she’d do better with 28 units placed more precisely. She paid less, got more natural movement, and was back for a top-up right on schedule at four months. That’s what a real assessment looks like.
Treatment takes 15 to 30 minutes. There’s no required downtime. Most patients see initial results within three to five days and full effect at two weeks. Results typically last three to four months, though first-time patients sometimes notice results softening slightly sooner as the muscle adapts to treatment.
InjectCo has 9 Texas locations, including clinics in Plano, Dallas, Fort Worth, Colleyville, Argyle, Waxahachie, Woodlands, Cleburne, and Austin. All locations offer the same nurse-led approach, the same $12 per unit rate, and the same free consultation. Nurse-on-call is available daily for virtual consults.
Botox is FDA-approved for adults 18 and older. It works best on dynamic wrinkles, which are wrinkles caused by repeated muscle movement. Forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, and crow’s feet at the eye corners are the most common treatment areas.
It is not the right tool for static wrinkles, which are lines present even when the face is at rest. Those are better addressed with dermal fillers or skin resurfacing treatments. Your InjectCo nurse will tell you honestly if a different treatment would serve you better.
Botox is not appropriate for patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a known allergy to botulinum toxin, have certain neuromuscular conditions such as ALS or myasthenia gravis, or have an active skin infection in the treatment area. Certain medications, including blood thinners, can increase bruising risk. Disclose all medications at your consultation.
If you’re uncertain whether you’re a good candidate, the free virtual consultation is the right starting point. Our nurses are direct. They will tell you if Botox won’t accomplish what you’re hoping for.
Most Texas med spas charge between $10 and $18 per unit depending on the clinic type and location. InjectCo prices Botox at $12 per unit across all 9 Texas locations with no membership required.
A standard forehead treatment uses 10 to 30 units depending on your muscle strength and desired result. Most patients start at 15 to 20 units. Your nurse will assess your movement at the consultation and recommend a count based on your specific anatomy, not a flat default.
Yes. Nurse injectors use the same FDA-approved neurotoxin and follow the same clinical protocols. Kiara DeWitt, BSN, RN, CPN, who founded InjectCo and trained in neurosurgery nursing at Cook Children’s Hospital, developed InjectCo’s clinical protocols. Provider skill and product quality matter far more than whether the injector has an MD or RN credential.
Pricing varies based on provider type (physician-led boutiques charge more), market location (Dallas and Plano run higher than suburban markets), the brand of neurotoxin used, and whether pricing is per unit or per area. Per-area pricing is harder to compare and can result in under-dosing.
Botox duration is not meaningfully affected by Texas heat. Results typically last three to four months regardless of climate. Intense exercise in the week after treatment can cause the product to break down slightly faster, but for most patients the timeline holds. First-time patients sometimes see results fade closer to the two-and-a-half-month mark as the muscle first adapts.
InjectCo runs periodic specials across all 9 Texas locations. The best way to check current pricing is to visit our monthly specials page or call or text your nearest location directly. Deals change month to month.
Dysport is priced at a lower per-unit rate but requires roughly 2.5 times more units than Botox to achieve the same effect, so total session cost is generally comparable. The main patient-facing difference is onset: Dysport typically kicks in one to two days faster than Botox.Botox in Texas is straightforward to price once you understand the per-unit model. At $12 per unit and a standard session running 40 to 60 units, most InjectCo patients budget between $480 and $720 for a full upper-face treatment.
