Botox for the face costs $10 to $18 per unit in most Texas clinics. At InjectCo, it is $12 per unit across all nine locations. But what matters more than the per-unit price is knowing how many units each treatment area actually needs — because that is what determines your real total. This guide breaks down 2026 Botox pricing by every face area, explains what affects your unit count, and shows you how to get the most from your treatment budget.

Most clinics price Botox one of two ways: per unit or per area. Per-unit pricing means you pay for exactly the product used. At InjectCo, that is $12 per unit, charged precisely against the number of units your injector uses. Per-area pricing charges a flat fee for a treatment zone regardless of units — which sounds simpler but often leads to under-dosing or overcharging depending on your facial anatomy.
Per-unit pricing is more transparent and usually fairer, especially for first-time patients. If your injector recommends more or fewer units than expected, you understand exactly why your total changes.
For context, most upper-face treatments use 40 to 60 units. At $12 per unit, that puts a typical InjectCo full upper-face session at $480 to $720. Patients who return for regular maintenance — typically every three to four months — often budget $1,200 to $2,400 per year depending on how many areas they treat.
Knowing the unit range for each treatment area is the only reliable way to estimate your total Botox cost before your appointment. The ranges below reflect typical dosing at InjectCo across all nine Texas locations.
| Treatment Area | Units Needed | InjectCo Cost ($12/unit) | Range (Market) |
| Forehead lines | 10-20 units | $120-$240 | $150-$400 |
| Glabella (11s / frown lines) | 15-25 units | $180-$300 | $200-$450 |
| Crow’s feet (both sides) | 20-30 units | $240-$360 | $200-$450 |
| Forehead + 11s combo | 25-45 units | $300-$540 | $350-$700 |
| Full upper face (3 areas) | 40-60 units | $480-$720 | $500-$900 |
| Chin dimpling / pebble chin | 4-8 units | $48-$96 | $60-$160 |
| DAO / downturned corners | 4-8 units | $48-$96 | $60-$150 |
| Eyebrow lift | 4-8 units | $48-$96 | $60-$150 |
| Lip flip | 4-6 units | $48-$72 | $60-$120 |
| Masseter / jaw slimming | 40-60 units | $480-$720 | $500-$1,200 |
| Neck bands (Nefertiti lift) | 25-50 units | $300-$600 | $400-$800 |
These are typical ranges. Your exact unit count depends on muscle strength, depth of lines, and desired outcome. A first-time patient with mild lines may need fewer units than someone with strong facial muscles or deeper wrinkles. Your injector will give you a precise estimate at consultation. For a deeper breakdown, see how many Botox units you need.
Horizontal forehead lines typically require 10 to 20 units. Frown lines between the brows — the 11s or glabella — need 15 to 25 units. At InjectCo’s $12 per unit rate, treating the forehead alone runs $120 to $240. Treating frown lines alone runs $180 to $300.
Most patients treat both areas together because the forehead and glabella muscles work in opposition. Treating one without the other can create an unbalanced result. A combined forehead and 11s treatment uses 25 to 45 units, putting the InjectCo total at $300 to $540. Many injectors recommend adding crow’s feet for a balanced full upper-face refresh.
Crow’s feet are among the most common Botox areas. Most patients need 20 to 30 total units — 10 to 15 per side. At $12 per unit, that puts the InjectCo cost at $240 to $360. The national market range runs $200 to $450 depending on provider and city.
The skin around the eyes is thinner than the forehead or jawline. An experienced injector places Botox here with precision to avoid affecting eyelid movement. This is one area where injector skill directly affects both safety and results.
Not all Botox goes above the brows. Several smaller lower-face treatments use very few units and add refinement without full treatment cost.
Chin Dimpling and Pebble Chin
Botox in the chin muscle (mentalis) smooths the dimpled or pebbly texture that appears in some patients when they speak or smile. This typically uses 4 to 8 units — one of the smallest treatment doses. At InjectCo’s $12 per unit, chin Botox runs $48 to $96.
DAO Botox for Downturned Corners
The DAO muscle (depressor anguli oris) pulls the corners of the mouth downward, creating a resting frown. Relaxing it with 4 to 8 units of Botox subtly lifts the mouth corners without filler. Cost at InjectCo: $48 to $96.
Eyebrow Lift
A small amount of Botox placed under the brow tail relaxes the muscles that pull the brow down, producing a subtle lift. Most patients need 4 to 8 units per side. At $12 per unit, an eyebrow lift runs $48 to $96. Results are subtle — this is a refinement treatment, not a dramatic change.
Masseter Botox relaxes the large jaw muscles to slim a square jawline and reduce teeth grinding. This treatment requires more product than most face areas — typically 40 to 60 units per side — because the masseter is one of the strongest muscles in the body.
At InjectCo’s $12 per unit rate, masseter Botox runs $480 to $720. Market pricing ranges from $500 to $1,200 depending on provider and location. Results tend to last longer than upper-face treatments, often four to six months, and jawline definition improves progressively with repeat treatments.
Smile lines — the folds running from the nose to the corners of the mouth — can be softened with Botox in some cases. This typically uses 5 to 10 units and costs $60 to $120 at InjectCo. However, nasolabial folds are often caused more by volume loss than muscle movement. For deeper folds, dermal filler tends to produce more visible results. Your injector will recommend the right approach during consultation.
Whether Botox is expensive depends on what you compare it to. A single upper-face treatment at InjectCo — forehead, 11s, and crow’s feet — runs $480 to $720. For a treatment that lasts three to four months, that works out to $1,200 to $2,400 per year to maintain smooth results. Compared to surgical alternatives, that is a fraction of the cost.
The bigger risk is going too cheap. Botox priced significantly below market — $6 to $8 per unit, or heavily discounted group deals — often signals diluted product, fewer-than-advertised units, or an under-supervised injector. Fixing poor results costs more than the original treatment.
At InjectCo, $12 per unit means you know exactly what you are paying for. Nurse-led, medically supervised, and consistent across all nine Texas locations.
Botox is the most recognized brand but it is not the only FDA-approved neuromodulator available. Several competitors offer similar results at comparable or slightly different price points.
| Brand | Type | Avg Cost/Unit (US) | Notes |
| Botox (Allergan) | onabotulinumtoxinA | $10-$18 | Original. Most widely available. |
| Dysport (Galderma) | abobotulinumtoxinA | $4-$8/unit* | *Needs more units. Total cost similar. |
| Xeomin (Merz) | incobotulinumtoxinA | $10-$16 | No additives. Good for sensitive patients. |
| Letybo (Hugel) | letibotulinumtoxinA | $10-$16 | Newer FDA approval. Growing availability. |
| Jeuveau (Evolus) | prabotulinumtoxinA | $10-$14 | Marketed specifically for aesthetics. |
Each neuromodulator works by temporarily relaxing the targeted muscle. The right choice depends on the treatment area, your injection history, and your injector’s clinical judgment. InjectCo injectors discuss options with each patient at consultation.
Geographic Location
Texas Botox pricing is competitive compared to major coastal markets. Dallas-Fort Worth clinics typically charge $10 to $16 per unit — lower than New York or Los Angeles where per-unit rates regularly reach $20 or more. InjectCo’s $12 per unit rate is consistent across all nine Texas locations.
Provider Expertise
An injector who understands facial anatomy and muscle interaction produces results that look natural across expressions, not just at rest. At InjectCo, all injections are performed by master nurse injectors with supervised clinical protocols. See how to evaluate Botox providers in Texas for more on what to look for.
Treatment Area Size
Larger muscles need more product. The masseter requires far more units than crow’s feet. The number of areas you treat in one session also stacks the unit count — which is why many patients see a big jump in total cost when treating three or four areas at once vs one.
Number of Units Required
Muscle strength, wrinkle depth, and your target outcome all drive unit count. First-time patients tend to need more than returning patients because muscles have not yet been trained by repeated relaxation. See what a unit of Botox is for a fuller explanation of how units are measured and administered.
Botox does not have to be a budget surprise. Several tools help make regular treatment more affordable.
Understanding your unit count and treatment area is the first step to getting results you will actually love. At InjectCo, every appointment starts with an honest assessment of your face, your goals, and what you realistically need — not the maximum.

A full-face Botox treatment typically covers the forehead, 11s, and crow’s feet — 40 to 60 units total. At InjectCo’s $12 per unit, that ranges from $480 to $720. Adding lower-face areas like chin, DAO, or lip flip increases the total. A full upper and lower face treatment can reach $700 to $1,000 depending on areas selected.
Most Texas clinics charge $10 to $16 per unit, with Highland Park and Uptown Dallas providers trending toward $14 to $18. InjectCo charges $12 per unit across all nine Texas locations — consistent pricing regardless of which branch you visit.
Horizontal forehead lines typically need 10 to 20 units. Most injectors recommend treating the forehead and 11s together — a combined 25 to 45 units — because the two muscle groups work in opposition. Treating one without the other can produce an uneven result.
Cosmetic Botox is not covered by health insurance. You pay 100% out of pocket. However, Botox prescribed for medical purposes — chronic migraines, hyperhidrosis, or certain muscle conditions — may be covered. HSA and FSA funds can sometimes be applied to medically indicated Botox. Confirm eligibility with your provider and insurer.
Most patients return every three to four months. Returning while a small amount of the previous treatment is still active — rather than waiting for full muscle movement to return — typically reduces the unit count needed at each follow-up. Over time, consistent treatment can extend results closer to four to five months.
The national average Botox treatment cost in 2026 is approximately $397 to $528 per session according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, with per-unit prices ranging from $10 to $18 across most U.S. markets. Texas clinics are generally priced at the lower end of that national range, with most Dallas-Fort Worth providers charging $10 to $16 per unit.
Chin Botox (for dimpling or pebble texture) and DAO Botox (for downturned mouth corners) each use 4 to 8 units. At $12 per unit, both treatments run $48 to $96 at InjectCo. These are small-dose, precision treatments that add refinement without a full treatment cost.
Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Letybo, and Jeuveau are all FDA-approved neuromodulators that temporarily relax facial muscles. Botox is the most widely used brand. Dysport spreads slightly more and is priced lower per unit but requires more units, making total costs similar. Xeomin contains no additives, which some clinicians prefer for sensitive patients. Results and longevity are comparable across brands for most patients.
Botox maintains a 97% ‘Worth It’ rating on RealSelf, making it one of the highest-rated cosmetic treatments available. For patients treating dynamic wrinkles — lines caused by facial movement — Botox provides results that topical skincare cannot replicate. At $12 per unit with nurse-led injection technique, InjectCo provides consistent outcomes across nine Texas locations.
Signs of diluted or under-dosed Botox include results that fade in four to six weeks rather than three to four months, uneven movement across treated areas, and a lack of smooth relaxation in the targeted muscles. Botox priced significantly below $10 per unit — especially through group deal platforms — often signals diluted product or inexperienced injection technique. Prioritize credentials and consistency over the lowest per-unit price.
